You will experience:

Discover how the Venetian aristocracy lived, as I show you the marvelous Rezzonico palace, with its wooden statues, luxurious furniture and... hidden garden. We will be in the exact place where nobles in the past would enjoy the high life. Once outside of the palace, we will have a look at the San Barnaba church, connected to one of the Indiana Jones movies, we will see a greengrocer on a boat and notice the Ponte dei Pugni, or bridge of fists, famous for the brawls that occured there in the past.

You will explore the Dorsoduro and San Polo districts with me, discover where to buy the delectable pastries (the local tiramisù is iconic here) and where to taste cicchetti and wine, and where to find relaxing squares. We will also talk about the carnival, find a byzantine medallion and learn about local secrets. Read more

Roko - Anonymous

“We took a family tour with Roko. After asking us, what we had already seen or/and whether we had any wishes he took us on a 3 hour walking tour through the lesser frequented alleys of Venice, nonetheless miraculously ending up at major sights. He gave us the history and relayed fun details and story's one wouldn't otherwise hear about. our tour ended on a beautiful square where we had a peaceful macchiato and asked Roko to guide us through the Doge's Palace the next day, that is how happy we were with him.”
