This invigorating Venice walking tours will take you

one of the liveliest areas in Venice, as it is
near the University. From here you will walk
to the Church of San Sebastiano, where Paolo
Veronese painted some of his finest masterpieces.
Then you will continue through calli and campielli (narrow
streets) to reach the shipyard of San Trovaso,
where the famous gondolas of Venice are made.
From here you will go to the Zattere, where the
tour ends with the visit to the church of the
Gesuati, frescoed by Giambattista Tiepolo.
 Note that you can also have your private guide take you along the inner canals
of the Dorsoduro to the Baroque Church of Maria della Salute, or you can stop
for a visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Modern Art Collection, housed in her mansion
complete with a sculpture garden and terrace facing the grand canal. Be mindful of your time as there are so many things to see in Venice. Be sure to consult with your guide at all times.
Lunch and free time before proceeding with your exploration of San Marco district with your tour guide. On this private tour of Venice, you will also see three of the city’s most important sights.
