Overview

Ready to experience a side of Venice like a local, with a local? This is a tour, unlike any other! If you want to take a step away from the touristy path, there's no better way than by diving into the city's alternative side. Welcome to Dorsoduro! If you're done with the main highlights, why not step away and take a less-traveled path that will show you an unexpected side of Venice? Follow a local guide on a private tour full of surprises and check out Campo Santa Margherita and Isola San Giorgo, and more that let the true form of the city shine! Withlocals Off the Beaten Track Tour™ is one of Withlocals' signature tours available in major cities worldwide. We work with passionate local guides who earn a fair fee. We support local economies by only offering local produce and prevent over-tourism with only small non-intrusive groups. Our tours are carbon-neutral and away from the standard tourist routes.

A wonderful walking tour of Venice

Published on Dec, 2024

Claudia took us on a walking tour of the Dorsoduro area of Venice. She was lovely from the start and very knowledgeable. It was great to talk about Venice with a local guide who became more of a friend as the tour went on. We have visited Venice many times but we saw new things and learnt a lot from Claudia. We ended the tour on a roof terrace close to the Rialto Bridge. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thank you Claudia

Great tour of Dorsoduro

Published on Dec, 2024

Claudia did a great job for us. The tour she prepared was very diverse, walking, great churches, a ride across the lagoon to Giudecca. The two and a half hours went by very quickly. We highly recommend Claudia as a fun, knowledgeable and personable guide.

Perfect Introduction to Venice!

Published on Dec, 2024

Elena was the perfect guide; when are ferry got delayed, she immediatley offered to meet us at a different starting place, and was there before we got off the ferry. She was engaging and full of stories of the history of Venice. She was engaging from start to finish. We truly enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Venice.

Super tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Claudia was fun, flexible and super knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Her energy is contagious!

Wonderful tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

My wife and I booked a private tour of Dorsoduro with Giada and it was a highlight of our trip! We asked Giada to take us to a few specific places, and she was very accommodating. She also was extremely knowledgeable of Venice and the entire area. We learned so much and truly loved the time with Giada. As a bonus, Giada is very knowledgeable of food and wine and gave us some excellent recommendations which we happily took advantage of. I would highly recommend this tour, or any tour, with Giada.
