Only at this hour, 7:30 am, are we able to offer you the thrill and privilege of seeing Venice with very few people about (sorry, there may be an occasional Venetian here and there). No tourists and no pigeons.

How satisfying to take a photo with the background the Basilica and the Ducal Palace free of people! The magic atmosphere of early morning light give every monument a special glow which must be seen to be believed.

From here we’ll go in search of the most hidden of Venice’s treasures by crossing the “sconte” – what Venetians call the narrow streets known only to them.

At the end of the tour, we’ll sit down for a cappuccino and croissant in one of the city’s beautiful squares….and perhaps spend a few moments getting to know each other a little better.
