Can someone recommend a good, inexpensive WALKING-TOUR GROUP in Venice?

I would love to do a walking tour of Venice that focuses on architecture and history.

Can anyone recommend a walking-tour group for mid-September?

I remember taking a great one in Paris, with British tour guides. (I think their name was Paris Walks).

If there is a similar one in Venice, that would be great. They are always so informative and fun!

Thanks!

Have you asked your Venice hotel for recommendations?

I have yet to find a walking tour that allows a number of participants, where the price is in the 10 to 20 Euro range. This sort of thing is well-known in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and several other cities, and for a slightly higher price in Rome, but I have not found it in Venice. Private guides, many of whom are no doubt excellent, are available, but at a significantly higher cost.
