Guide #62161
What if you had a friend in Venice, someone who truly knows the city? You’d expect them to take you to the iconic landmarks (maybe even skipping a few lines along the way!), but also to share their Venice: the quiet calli, the hidden bacari, the local markets, the everyday rhythm of real Venetian life. That’s exactly what I offer. Forget the standard tours! My experiences are tailor-made, just for you, exactly as I would do for a dear friend. I’m Manuela, a licensed tour guide and tour leader, proudly Venetian for generations. For over twenty years, I’ve had the joy of helping travelers from around the world fall in love with this extraordinary city. My tours aren’t just about places, they’re about emotions, stories, and the feeling of belonging, even if only for a day. Each experience is fully customizable to your interests, timing, and pace. Whether you have one day or several, I’ll craft an itinerary that reflects what you truly want to see: from grand palaces and famous squares to the secret corners where Venetians still live and breathe their traditions. You’ll have one guide (me) throughout your stay, ensuring a seamless, personal experience and a deep connection with the city. Want to explore Venice’s glorious history? Or stroll through quiet canals, away from the crowds? You can combine both: that’s the beauty of a private, personalized tour.! Together, we’ll create a journey that feels like Venice is yours alone. So take a moment, breathe in the magic of this city, and imagine discovering it through the eyes of someone who calls it home. Let’s make your time in Venice unforgettable, authentic, inspiring, and entirely yours.

If you are looking for a personalized tour of the Massimiliano Schiavon Art Team art glass factory, Manuela is your ideal guide. We enjoyed a private shuttle from St. Mark's Square to Murano.

Manuela met us at our hotel in the morning and introduced us to the history of Venice as we walked the city streets. My husband and I have been to Venice before, but each visit we learn something new. Manuela is extremely knowledgeable, and a great story teller. We learned so much in our time with her, and I only wish we’d had more time. We toured Piazza San Marco and the...

Manuela organised every detail of our outing to Murano, including transportation and our visit to a very exclusive glass artisan workshop. Manuela is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and in her long career in Venetian tourism, she has developed a network of contacts that opens doors that are not open to everyone. Our visit to Murano was incredibly special; we...
