Hello!!! Come with me and explore the best that Venice and the Veneto region has to offer. From the most well known sites, squares and islands to the little-known regional wonders, I will ensure you experience it all and gain the most from your visit. My family can trace it's history back over 500 years in Venice. Take a walk with me into the past - my past - as I tell you stories that have been handed down from generations in my family about the most famous and not-so-famous personalities of Venice.
We can enjoy leisurely walks through Venice, discover hidden gardens and alleys, boutique shops and local sites that will make your tour to this beautiful part of Italy a truly memorable one.

I am available on very short notice and may well be available even if you arrive in Venice without pre-arranged plans! So, Please check my calendar. If it says I am free than I would be delighted to take you on a tour of a lifetime. Simply send me a message for a prompt reply.

Many clients book me for their first full day in Venice, whether arriving by cruise ship, flying in for a short stay, or visiting as part of a wider tour around the country. My clients see the best that Venice has to offer and walk away with confidence on how to find their way around the city independently, so that they are ready to explore on their own steam for the rest of their stay. They do this armed with step-by-step instructions and recommendations from me, a sixth generation Venetian!

My tours are also perfect for visitors seeking an overview of the whole region. Together we can explore Padova, Verona, and Treviso, all manageable on single day trips - even Florence is not too far away! And why not take a walk on the Dolomites to make the most of your precious time here?

I have travelled to many countries around the world and have also explored Italy inside out, so I appreciate how valuable your time here is and what makes a trip truly memorable.

I am available from 7am - 10pm daily, 7 days a week including public holidays.
