Venice Carnival walking tour with codega guide and legends
Overview
Step into Venice's legends on a guided tour inspired by the city's historic codega. From the mid-15th century, Venetian nobles and wealthy residents had servants known as "codega", who carried lanterns to light their way at night while entertaining them with anecdotes and stories.
Following this tradition, your escort will guide you through the mysteries connected to Venice and its lagoon. You'll hear tales about Casanova and the Levantine, a gondolier who became a priest and an elephant that found shelter in a church.
You'll also learn about an angel said to have become the guardian of a palace and hear why a bridge between two convents is known as "The Devil's Bridge". Along the way, you'll find out about the secret language of Venetian fans and legends of ghosts said to inhabit the city.
It's a unique way for the family to experience the stories of Venice during Carnival.
