Discover Venice at sunset
Overview

Mobile ticket
As twilight drapes Venice in golden hues and the crowds begin to thin, join us for an unforgettable evening walk that reveals the city’s most enchanting secrets. Our journey begins in the heart of Venice — the majestic Piazza San Marco, where the Basilica glows under the night sky and the Campanile casts its long shadow over the square. With stories of emperors, explorers, and masked intrigues, you’ll discover the layers of history hidden behind every column and arch.
As we walk, the city’s vibrant spirit will unfold in unexpected ways: the echo of footsteps on cobblestones, the soft splash of water in the dark, the perfume of night jasmine in the air.
Our path leads us gently to the Rialto, the oldest and most iconic of Venice’s bridges, where the Grand Canal shimmers with reflections of lanterns and gondolas.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a journey into the soul of Venice, seen through the eyes of those who love her most.

What To Expect
Piazza San Marco
Basilica di San Marco – Marvel at the golden mosaics and Byzantine splendor of Venice’s most famous church. Learn about the relics of Saint Mark, the history of the building, and the symbolism hidden in every detail of the façade and interior. Doge’s Palace (Palazzo Ducale) – Discover the political and artistic heart of the Venetian Republic. Hear stories of intrigue, justice, and power as we explore the palace courtyards and the Bridge of Sighs. The Clock Tower (Torre dell’Orologio) – Gaze up at this 15th-century marvel and understand its role in Venice’s timekeeping and astrological traditions.
Campo Santa Maria Formosa
As we leave the crowds behind, we’ll dive into the quieter, more intimate calli and campielli, discovering how everyday life unfolds just steps from the monumental. Along the way, your guide will reveal fascinating stories of noble families, political intrigues, and curious legends that shaped the city. Our path winds through charming alleys and across picturesque bridges until we reach Campo Santa Maria Formosa, a lively square where history, architecture, and local life converge. Admire the unique church façade blending Renaissance and Baroque styles, and learn about the mysterious origins of its name—“Formosa” meaning "beautiful"… but the story behind it is far from ordinary.

5.00Elisabetta was a great guide. The whisper devices were a huge help, I loved that I could drift a bit to take a quick photo but still hear what was said. She was very accommodating and stopped as the group needed, pointed out useful things like the good and bad atms to use. And was also of course very knowledgeable. I appreciated that she wanted to take us to less crowded, less touristy areas. I would definitely recommend her for any Venice tour!
Best Guide in Venice, for groups or individuals!

5.00I can't recommend Elisabetta enough!!!! From the moment I contacted Elisabetta earlier in 2024 she was very helpful. Even keeping in contact before we arrived, with helpful tips. I was travelling with my two teenagers, she kept the tour personable, relevant and interesting tailoring the tour for us. It was lovely to have a local Venetian tour guide that could share her personal knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend Elisabetta to any first time visitors or for future visits and you want to explore something specific. She also met us at our hotel, which was refreshing when you are discovering a new destination. I did quite a bit of research into tours and guides and Elisabetta's name kept coming up, and I can see why she was great !! :-)
Venice Elisabetta was a informative, flexible and friendly guide! She is truly a local and her knowledge of Venice is hu

5.00Elisabetta Amadi is the real deal. This was my first time in Venice and I was very fortunate to be a part of her tours of the city during my visit. I have had Elisabetta as a tour guide before outside of Venice with group tours, and based on my wonderful excperiences then, I was so delighted to be able to have her guide me in touring and navigating her native and home city of Venice. She is extremely knowledgeable about Venice; the city, the culture, the people and it's history. As a first time visitor, she will guide you and give you important tips and tricks of navigating the city along with the "dos and don't". She also is very kind and helpful answering any questions you may have with a professional, delightful and caring manner. I highly recommend Elisabetta Amadi for your tour guide needs!
Book Elisabetta immediately!!!

5.00This is the second time with Elisabetta as my guide and I wouldn’t go with anyone else. She is absolutely amazing at her job. Super knowledgeable about a range of European history and culture; especially in Venice. Personable beyond belief. Fun. A great sense of humour. And above all, she has a way of making you comfortable no matter how different the culture and people are from what you are used to. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Elisabetta!

5.00Elisabetta Amadi is the Real Deal - a true Venetian! She is very knowledgeable and explains complex history, architecture, culture, art, and current evets with ease. She is personable, attractive, energetic, and fun. Our group of 5 adults waked with Elisabetta through several sestieri areas, seeing many sites, beautiful backstreets and small canals as we enjoyed snacking on Cicchetti and drinking regional wines along the way. I highly recommend Elisabetta as your guide to make your Venice visit a memorable one (venicewithbetty.com)

5.00Elizabetta was warm and gracious. He knowledge is vast and she makes the history of Venice come alive. She showed us some very “un-touristy” things to do and places to eat. We highly recommend spending some of your time in Venice with Elizabetta.
