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.

It will be an experience that goes beyond a simple tourist visit, allowing you to experience Venice through the eyes of those who love it deeply.

Your Venice tour itinerary
The adventure includes the square, the beating heart, with the exceptional architecture of its buildings, surrounded by history that embraces centuries of Venetian tradition where I will reveal secrets and anecdotes that only a Venetian enthusiast can know. Then you will be enchanted by the Basilica, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture with its golden domes and breathtaking mosaics. I will take you through a privileged access, explaining the rich symbolism behind every artistic detail and telling fascinating stories about the relic of the saint, kept inside. You can't miss a visit to the Doge's Palace, also with VIP access. I will take you through the richly decorated rooms, telling stories of political intrigue and life in vintage Venice. It will be like taking a step back in time, immersing ourselves in the life of the Serenissima Republic. During the tour, I can't help but share my passion with you for Venice, conveying the love for history, art and culture that permeate every corner.
