behind St. Mark's Square for 2 hours

The route is designed for photography lovers and history fans, and your guide shares stories about Venice and the best places to take photos. The group is limited to 10 people, and the tour is run in English or German.

Meet a gondola full of books at the Acqua Alta bookshop

Visit Libreria Acqua Alta, one of the most unusual bookshops in the world. Photograph the gondola, the bathtub and the boat filled with books, and climb the famous staircase made entirely of old encyclopedias.

You also stop at a quiet canal that appeared in films such as Spider-Man and Mission: Impossible.

Pass the narrowest alley and the Miracoli church

You walk through the narrowest alley in Venice, only 53 cm wide, and hear how the city was built. It is a fun spot for photos with dramatic perspective.

See the colorful marble facade of the church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli, one of the most elaborately decorated churches in Venice, and hear the legend behind how it came to be. You also look at the trompe-l'oeil marble facade of the Scuola Grande di San Marco.

Photograph the Bridge of Sighs and the Rialto Bridge from quiet spots

Away from the crowds, your guide takes you to a spot where you can photograph the Bridge of Sighs from an unusual angle. You also visit a quiet, hidden viewpoint with an uncrowded view of the Rialto Bridge, where you can hear about its appearance as a filming location in the James Bond series.
