Your experienced guide will lead you through a maze of small alleys, "calli," countless bridges, twisting canals, and large attractive "campi" or squares, demonstrating the evolution of classic Venetian architectural genres. Admire the beautiful Gothic church of S. Giovanni and Paolo, which has the largest stained glass window in Venice, and learn about where the Venetian Doges are buried.

Your guide will be happy to answer any questions about the history of these beautiful art pieces. You will also see the Miracoli Church, a hidden gem in this fantastic city on the water. Learn about the history of this unusual little church and relish the Renaissance facade that was just fixed up.

The former home of Marco Polo, who was probably the most famous Venetian merchant, and the nearby Corte del Milion, will also be on your path. These prominent places will help you understand how different artistic and architectural styles have changed over time, which can be seen throughout the city.
