BIKING

WALKING
Walking tours have always been very popular, and have always been environmentally friendly, creating no carbon footprint.

• Venice Past and Present Walking Tour - St Mark's Square, Bridge of Sighs, Grand Canal and Rialto - discover extraordinary architecture, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways and the city's prevalent medieval flavor, as well as its environmentally-friendly prevalent absence of cars.
