About the Tour

Zombie outbreak? Rising tides? What else could go wrong? Get to know Venice in one wild, weird and entertaining hour!

This walking tour combines historical tidbits about Venice with interactive fictional flourishes, from brain-eating zombies to special agents. Immerse yourself in the role of The Photographer as you follow Agent Lucia around Venice’s San Marco District to collect intel for The Captain, who needs to assess how extensively the zombie pathogen has infected the city. Lucia will direct you from the Rialto Bridge, through Piazza San Marco (San Marco Square) where you’ll see Basilica San Marco, to the Bridge of Sighs, Doge’s Palace and other must-see tourist spots. She’ll also show you the lesser-known back streets, all while providing local insight to the city.

On this fun and exciting hour-long tour, you can look forward to:

Learning why there are so many sculptures of lions mouths in Venice
Finding out the differences between the New Prison and the “fancier” Doge Palace attic prison
Discovering whether Prosecco with peaches was the 15th-century Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini’s favorite cocktail
Hearing what all gondoliers have in common, by law!
Taking in St Mark’s Campanile, the red bell tower that’s the tallest structure in the city standing 99 meters high
Passing by Museo Correr, the museum that houses a collection of artworks gifted to the city by Teodoro Correr in 1830
Seeing Teatro Goldoni, the theatre that was first inaugurated in 1622 as the Vendramin Theater

You’ll do all this while avoiding brain-eating zombies! This tour is like no other.

Ponte di Rialto Introduction

Hey, can you hear me? You should be standing in the very center part of the middle path of the Rialto Bridge. Top middle. Super center. Do you see several locks in the corner fastened on the wall? Padlocks. Cute, right? People have made a lot of memories here in Venezia... Read More

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

Cafe Florian in Piazza San Marco is great for a coffee, musical ambience and experience. Harry's Bar is a legendary 1930s cocktail bar, as Hemingway, Hitchcock, Orson Welles and others would tell you. Bistrot Venise is a great restaurant with a huge wine selection. Prices are a bit high but if you are in Venice only once, these places are worth considering. If you need a restroom there is a public one behind the Basilica San Marco that you pass on the tour. An inexpensive coffee or beer in Campo San Luca is a good bet if you want to stay away from the crowds. Da Totò is also a great food spot about two blocks behind the Astronomical Clock.

Best time of day

You can do this tour any time, day or night, any month of the year. If it is raining, it is even more fun because you experience super augmented reality. In the summer, Venice gets very hot, so bring water.

Precautions

Bring water. Watch your belongings. Don't worry about cars as there are no cars in the historic center of Venice. Beware of eating too many cannolis (ps. cannolis are Sicilian not Venetian nevertheless they have good ones here).
