Tour guide in Venice Riccardo T.
I'm Riccardo T., your private tour guide in Venice
Guide #37692
Hi! I am Riccardo, photographer, art historian, surfer, traveler and of course, tour guide! I'm from Vicenza, a city one hour west from Venice and I've been living in Venice for a long time now: this city attracted me since the first time I visited it as a kid. Wandering around its alleys with my mum made me sense its magical atmosphere and immediately enchanted me. My bond with Venice grew stronger over the years, so I couldn't help but moving here as soon as I could. Venice is my home, it has been for a long time. I love it and our relationship is pretty intense — sometimes too much. Being a tour guide helps me share these emotions with my guests. Venice has many beautiful things: art, history and beauty everywhere, but also lesser known, underground curiosities. I want you to discover them through my food, photo and walking tours to help you to get the best from your experience in this magical place. Being in love with this city is what makes the difference from simply being an expert of it, know its soul is the only way to get "her" essence, and what I want is just to help everyone to achieve this magic connection. - Official Tour Guide License - Official Tour Leader License - Art History Bachelor's degree - Economics and Management of Art Master degree - Professional Photographer - Architectural Restorer none

Alex L.United States4 days agoFantastic tour of Murano and Burano! We visited great artisan shops and were able to set our own pace. The public ferry system can be confusing, so it was nice to have an expert to travel around efficiently.

We had enjoyed a fabulous tour with Ricardo and enjoyed learning about the history of Venice and the more "local" facts" about life in Venice. Highly recommend if you want to avoid the "touristy" tours and get to know Venice from someone local who lives and works in the city!

I put off returning to Venice for years because I heard how bad the crowds are. If you are like me, or if you would just like to explore different parts of Venice (other than the Rialto/Piazza San Marco), this is the tour for you. Riccardo was very personable and easy to speak with. He had a lot of interesting info about the beautiful city of Venice and its history. As...

We had a great day with Riccardo. He did some customization of this tour for me and all worked out great. We enjoyed our Murano demonstrations/showrooms and ended up buying some wine glasses and they gave me the horse they had made in one of the demos. Then onto the pretty island of Burano for a little walking tour and lunch and then a glass of wine at the winery on...
