5.00Anna was a great guide! She gave us both local lore and legends while also giving general city history which was helpful in giving more perspective to Venice. While we heard spooky stories she kept between the stories light, which is great for people traveling with partners who don’t want a super grim and dark tour.
Legends sprinkled with Ghosts

5.00Expect a nice evening stroll about 1.5 miles in total over 90 minutes. Valentina told us 6 special legends/ghost stories. She also provided cultural insights, and is an engaging story teller! She is Venetian and very passionate about sharing the areas history.
