Hello and welcome! My name is Romy, and I am a licensed tour guide born and raised in Venice. Growing up between Piazza San Marco and Rialto — the historic, political and symbolic heart of the city — has given me a deeply rooted understanding of Venice that combines lived experience with academic expertise. I hold two degrees from Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, including a Master’s Degree (summa cum laude) in Art History and Conservation of Cultural Heritage. I am currently pursuing advanced studies in Theological Hermeneutics of Christian Art in Florence, specializing in the interpretation of sacred space and its symbolic language. For many years I have guided private travelers, families, academic groups and culturally oriented visitors from around the world. I am particularly accustomed to working with discerning clients who seek depth, clarity and a thoughtful, well-structured experience rather than a superficial overview. My tours are private, flexible and fully customized to your interests, pace and schedule. Whether your focus is art, history, architecture, religion, or the broader civilization of the Venetian Republic, I aim to present Venice in a way that is both intellectually meaningful and deeply engaging. As a native Venetian, I can also introduce you to perspectives that are often missed — quieter neighborhoods, historical context, and the subtle details that reveal how the city truly functioned and still lives today. With me, Venice is not simply shown; it is interpreted and experienced. I work comfortably with first-time visitors as well as with repeat travelers who wish to go beyond the main sights and explore the city in a more reflective and authentic way. I am happy to collaborate with travel advisors, agencies and tour operators, and to design itineraries tailored to specific themes, time constraints or special requests. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and passionate guide who combines local insight with scholarly preparation and a calm, personal approach, I would be delighted to share my city with you. I look forward to welcoming you to Venice. - Summa cum Laude Master Degree in History of Arts and Conservation of Artistic Heritage, Cà Foscari University, Venice. - Summa cum Laude graduation in Anglo-American and Hispano-American Languages and Literatures, Cà Foscari University, Venice. - Currently studying Theological hermeneutics of christian art, Facoltà Teologica dell'Italia Centrale, Fi. - Accredited Tour Guide License n. 08000879 (n°184, RA.) - Tour Guide insurance: AXA 406271056.

If you want to discover a different side of Venice, you'll fall in love with the sestiere (district) of Cannaregio, which is still an authentic residential area of Venice. Cannaregio is the place where since 1516 the Jewish Ghetto of Venice was established by the Serenissima Republic, and the venetian Ghetto was the first ever established in Europe, therefore in the world. . . but it was not established for the reasons you probably might think of. Discover Cannaregio's secrets area with me, far from the the beaten paths, let me unveil to you its amazing churches, local shops where our traditional venetian craftsmanship is still kept alive. . . Cannaeregio is where Tintoretto and Tiziano and many other painters used to live.
Cannaregio: Fondamenta della Misericordia; Campo del Gesuiti; Ponte dei Mendicanti; Strada Nuova; Madonna dell'Orto; Calatrava Bridge; Ponte Chiodo; Calle Varisco
