Meeting with the guide in front of the Hotel Danieli.
The only way to visit the unusual and fascinating corners of Venice off the beaten track and where time seems to have stood still centuries ago.
The guide leads you through a labyrinth of little canals, and sites of historic and artistic interest: Campo Santa Maria Formosa surrounded by its rich palaces; Campo SS.Giovanni e Paolo with its majestic Gothic church and equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni by Verrocchio (1481)
El Million, Marco Polo's residence; Rialto Bridge lined with typical shops; its marketplace and the Church of S. Salvador, the contents of which include Tiziano's last work, The Annunciation, whilst an alternative route is offered by an unique spiral staircase, called the Scala del Bovolo.
