Itinerary
Day 1
Two‑hour private guided program: meet at Ca' Rezzonico, guided palace visit, short Dorsoduro walk and canal‑side aperitivo on the Zattere.
Meet your guide & private guided visit — Ca' Rezzonico (Palazzo del Settecento Veneziano)
Meet at the main entrance of Ca' Rezzonico for a private 60‑minute guided tour. See Tiepolo frescoes, ornate ballrooms and masterpieces by Guardi, Longhi and Canaletto while your guide tells the intimate stories of Venice's 1700s society.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes early to clear the entrance and allow the guide to collect timed‑entry tickets — this avoids queues and keeps the visit relaxed.
- Ca' Rezzonico is not wheelchair accessible (short staircases inside); it is, however, stroller‑friendly for most prams — bring a lightweight stroller if needed.
- For a romantic photo, ask your guide to position you in front of the Tiepolo frescoed salon — late afternoon light inside the palace is soft and flattering.
Dorsoduro romantic walk — short guided stroll
A gentle 30‑minute guided walk through the Dorsoduro sestiere: quiet campos, artisan workshops, and views across the Grand Canal toward the Accademia and Santa Maria della Salute. Your guide highlights local art history and the best photo spots.
Tips from local experts:
- Stick together and stroll slowly — Dorsoduro's narrow calli and bridges are charming but uneven; avoid rushing and enjoy small detours.
- Pause at a small campo or bridge for a candid couple portrait — your guide will know the least crowded vantage points.
- If you crave a souvenir, your guide can point out a trusted artisan (glass, prints or masks) — perfect for a meaningful memento rather than a tourist trinket.
Zattere canal‑side aperitivo — relaxed spritz or gelato (special moment)
End the tour with a 30‑minute canal‑side aperitivo on the Zattere. Sip a spritz or share a gelato while you watch boats and the afternoon light on the Giudecca Canal — a quiet, romantic finish.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide to recommend a small bacaro (wine bar) on the Zattere where locals drink standing at the fondamenta — it's more intimate than the busy piazzas.
- Request a table by the water if you prefer to sit — the views are worth the tiny extra wait and make for a beautiful golden‑hour moment.
- If you prefer non‑alcoholic options, order a fresh fruit granita or artisan gelato — many places offer seasonal flavors in May (stone fruits, lemon).
