Enjoy a stroll around the secret gardens of Venice, often hidden behind the facades and walls of the its magnificent palazzos. People often refer to Venice as the city of canals and bridges. You will be surprised: the more than 500 gardens largely exceed the 403 bridges in the city!
Follow a delightful and off the beaten path route through the most magical gardens of Venice: take a walk around public parks, inner courtyards with greenery and idyllic monastery gardens. Relax within these places of silence, smell the scent of trees and flowers and feast your eyes on the colorful blossoms.

The gardens we were shown were unusual for Venice, given the lack of space, but as gardens go, these were not spectacular or lush. One of our party enjoyed a special English-style garden designed to give a sense of being lost in time and space for relaxation from city life, with interesting features. Another garden was quite extensive with vegetables, fruits, herbs, etc. and was well cared for. Valerio, our guide, gave excellent information on the metaphorical meanings of the arrangement of some of the gardens, the religious symbolism, etc. He was knowledgeable about plants, as well as Venetian history and was a personable guide, with a good command of English and German.

It couldn't be better! We have already done several tours through Venice with Valerio and are already looking forward to the next ones! Thanks to Valerio, we fall in love with Venice more every time! Tours are in small groups, Valerio speaks perfect German and is very individual with his guests.

Guide was a great guy. Very engaging and informative. But the gardens weren’t great. Most of them were mainly veg gardens.

We were glad to find some peaceful green spaces within the city. Valerio showed us a public park, which we would never have found, and three very different private gardens

This has been my first trip to Venice and has been everything and more than I expected. This was my introduction to a world not seen by everyone behind the walls of some of Venice's most unique gardens. My guide Valerio, was both exceedingly knowledgeable and a wonderful host. From his wonderful anecdote's about the history of these gardens, to his knowledge on all the different flora and forna. I couldn't have wished for anything better.
