Venice Hidden Canals and History Walking Tour

During this walk along winding Venetian canals, "across country" through peaceful idyllic places, we discover together the hidden corners and the history of the Sestiere Dorsoduro.
We walk to the former center of power of the "Fischerdogen", discover the history of the so-called "Faustkampfbrücken" and a house that is known today as "the house of the 7 chimneys".

It is a small group tour in the sense of "slow tourism" to offer an authentic experience and to be able to answer questions from guests.
