The Venice I See

Marco’s Rexby guide helped me see Venice in a way I hadn’t before not through famous landmarks, but through the quiet beauty of its everyday life.

The guide leads you to beautiful, often overlooked parts of the city, places where locals still greet each other on the street, and time seems to move a little slower. It’s ideal for those who want to go beyond the surface and experience Venice with more depth and meaning.

What really stands out are the restaurant and café recommendations — thoughtful, genuine, and clearly based on real experience. It feels curated by someone who cares about quality and authenticity, not trends or gimmicks.

I felt more connected to the city thanks to this guide. It’s not about ticking off sights, it’s about discovering the soul of Venice, one walk at a time.

Review for Marco Secchi’s Rexby Guide to Venice:

If you’re passionate about photography, or simply love seeing places with fresh eyes, Marco’s Rexby guide to Venice is an absolute treasure.

What sets this guide apart is the level of detail. You’re not just told where to go — you’re given exact coordinates, the best time of day for light, and even suggestions for composition. For any visual storyteller, that’s gold. But even if you’re not a photographer, you’ll appreciate how this guide leads you to incredible sights most tourists never stumble upon.

From peaceful canals draped with laundry to architectural corners bursting with character, every location is chosen with intention. And unlike the usual list of “top 10” spots, this feels like a personal journey through Venice, one that’s rich in atmosphere, culture, and visual poetry.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see more, feel more, and photograph better. Big Thanks Marco!

I recently had the chance to explore Marco Secchi’s Rexby guide to Venice — and I can honestly say it’s nothing like a typical travel guide. There are no so-called “secrets,” because Venice doesn’t hide — but Marco’s curated list takes you far beyond the standard tourist checklist.

What makes this guide exceptional is its depth. You’ll find cafés where Venetians actually go, restaurants that have stood the test of time and taste, and quiet corners that most visitors walk past without noticing. Marco doesn’t just tell you where to go — he shows you why it matters, and when the light hits just right for the perfect photograph.

As someone who’s taken one of Marco’s photography workshops, I knew to expect a unique perspective — but this guide genuinely surprised me with how thoughtful, honest, and beautifully designed it is. It feels like having a local friend walk you through the city they love.

If you want to see Venice differently — and not just through your lens — this is the guide to get!

✨ A perfect companion to discovering the real Venice! I absolutely loved this guide. It’s so much more than a list of places—it feels like walking through Venice with a local friend who knows all the hidden corners, the perfect light, and the stories behind the beauty. As a photographer, I found the suggestions incredibly helpful, but even if you’re just visiting with a phone or your eyes wide open, it’s inspiring. Thank you, Marco, for creating something so personal and thoughtful. Highly recommended!
