Itinerary

Campo San Giacomo a Rialto is one of Venice's most historic and charming squares, located near the bustling Rialto Market and the iconic Rialto Bridge. The square is anchored by the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto, considered one of the oldest churches in Venice, dating back to the 5th or 6th century, with its distinctive 15th-century clock above the façade.
The Rialto Bridge (Ponte di Rialto) is one of Venice's most iconic landmarks, spanning the Grand Canal in a graceful arch. From the top of the Rialto Bridge, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Grand Canal, lined with historic palazzos, gondolas, and lively activity.
Campo San Bartolomeo is a lively square located near the foot of the Rialto Bridge in Venice. It features a central statue of playwright Carlo Goldoni, a celebrated figure in Venetian culture. Surrounded by shops, cafés, and historic buildings, this campo serves as a popular meeting point for locals and visitors alike.
Marco Polo's House is located in the heart of Venice, in the San Giovanni e Paolo district. It is believed to be the birthplace or residence of the famous Venetian explorer Marco Polo, though the exact location of his home is debated. The building is a historic structure with typical Venetian Gothic architecture and is situated near the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo.

Since this was not our first time in venice we chose a different type of tour and I have to say it didn't disappoint! We had a wonderful guide, Marco, who has lived in Venice all his life. We felt like locals, the Rialoto Market was such a treat
