Uncommon Venice: Hidden Gems, Rooftop & Prosecco
When Noah from our BugBitten team ran this 2.5-hour tour, it nailed what we look for: actual Venetians going about their day, not crowds. The route threads through neighbourhood squares and family workshops—the kind of spots you'd miss on your own—before landing on a private palace rooftop where the Grand Canal spreads below you over a proper glass of prosecco. It's small-group stuff (max 10 people), which meant the guide could actually talk to us rather than herd us. Venice's a mad scramble usually; this one sidesteps most of it.
