About this activity

Ready to experience a side of Venice like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Dorsoduro! If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Venice? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Campo Santa Margherita and Isola San Giorgo, and more that let the true form of the city shine! Withlocals Off the Beaten Track Tour™ is one of Withlocals' signature tours available in major cities worldwide. We work with passionate local guides who earn a fair fee.
