Description
Enjoy a stroll through the secret gardens of Venice on this unique walking tour. Follow your guide to spaces hidden behind the elegant facades and high walls of the city's magnificent palazzos.

Meet your guide at Combo and head off to explore some of the city's 500 parks and gardens. Listen as you guide tells you curiosities and the history of Venice beyond its common touristy routes.
See where Venetians hang out with their families at Cannareggio, pass by a Renaissance villa, and see an in-nature theatre. Take in a stunning view over a lagoon from the terrace of a secret garden which is run by a nunnery.
Find yourself in an oasis of calmness and meditation. Walk through a nursery where locals buy cyclamens and geraniums to add color to their balconies. Immerse yourself in contemporary art which is placed in the atmosphere of a garden.
