For most visitors to Venice, the city is all water and stone. But tucked away behind its palaces and houses are surprisingly verdant oases of calm and beauty. Garden and nature lovers can now join a range of tailor-made tours giving rare access to these special gardens sheltered behind Venice's ancient city walls.

Celebrated garden expert Mariagrazia Dammicco reveals the botanic and artistic elements that make Venetian gardens so special. Tours vary according to the season, from a two-hour walk to a series of visits spread over several days.

Whether you want a special trip with fellow garden lovers, a relaxing treat for your mother amid Venice's serene beauty, or to share the city's beautiful, romantic spaces with a partner, these tours will show you Venice in a new light and leave you with unique memories.
