Ciao! I am Silvia. I am happy to "virtually" meet you here! This is a wonderful opportunity for me to let you know how much I love my hometown and how proud I am to have had the privilege to be raised in such a unique environment. Venice is totally different from all the other places you may have ever visited in your life; people here are different! Imagine fighting daily against the elements to survive on the water. . . well this is quite a challenge! I am here to help you to understand how this was made possible more than 1500 years ago! I am not only a Licensed Tourist Guide but a Tour Leader too. I have always travelled in my own life and worked as an inbound operator in Venice and all over Italy for more than 15 years, both things combined are definitely a "plus" because I have a strong attitude to problem solving and great experience inside and outside the office which is not always offered by the people working in tourism. I studied at the technical Institute for Tourism in Venice and then got my graduation in foreign languages always working in the tourism business since the very beginning as a hostess doing transfers. The aspect that I love the most about my job is that I always get in touch with new people and I can customize the tours for my clients: age, mobility issues, interests. . . it is always a surprise! All my tours are customizable, we can always make arrangements and adapt the tours to your needs before you book them. I hope we can meet very soon here in Venice or in the Veneto Region which has a lot to offer: art, nature, tasty food and great wines! NOTICE From May 1st to October 31st - high season - my availability is very changeable so I suggest you contact me before booking. NOTICE FOR TRAVELLERS ON A CRUISE SHIP If you'll be in Venice staying on a cruise ship and just in transit unfortunately I can't get any bookings. National Tourist Guide License 155 (exam taken in Ravenna) Tour Leader License (Venice Province) Venice Jewish Community Authorized Guide for Synagogues I am a licensed guide, no restrictions at all.

    A fascinating and enjoyable tour. Silvia is an excellent tour guide who provided outstanding historical context about the Venice ghettos while sharing a wealth of knowledge about current culture and conditions. As an area resident, she knows the residents, the shopkeepers, and religious leaders. Her stories about the architecture, the synagogues, and the evolution of the...

    Silvia was right on time with a smile on her face! We heard and learned so much information about Venice: its history, people, culture, gondolas, food and even its cemetery! Her English is very good, we never felt rushed and yet we covered so much by both land and water. A GREAT tour, a WONDERFUL guide. We highly recommended her and Tours by Locals.

    I am a travel agent who books often with Tours by Locals, and Silvia, was one of the friendliest and most knowledgable guides that I have had. She was prompt in responding to my messages, and in addition to the tour being excellent, she shared her favorite restaurants with us and things to do. If you want to learn about Venice and see Venice, book with Silvia.
