Hello there! This is Antonella, a Venetian born and raised travel and culture addicted tour guide and tour leader. When in Venice I don't offer only the factual information clients expect but also a cultural context that creates a more rewarding experience. I sense the kind of guest in front of me and adapt in no time delivering a tailor-made tour. When I don't lead/guide I act as an active member of a theatre company. My passion for theatre is very useful for my profession as I never "lecture" my guests: I actually engage them. When I don't act I write, obviously about travel! I live in Venice since I landed here for university studies. Later, I never wanted to leave the city, which I love deep down, if not to travel the world, of which I feel a citizen. I love my job because it allows me to combine passion for foreign languages and for this incredible city, with history, art, architecture, food (get ready for some gourmet tours!) and for theatre which, as a matter of fact, in Venice is a long-time tradition. -Government certified tour guide license issued by the Province of Modena (Italy) -Government certified tour leader license issued by the Province of Venice (Italy) -Port of Venice permit of access issued by the Venitian Port Authority (Italy) -Wine tasting Advisor issued by Onav and EBT (Italy) -Master in journalism at the Scuola di Giornalismo A.Chiodi (Venice, Italy) -Master in non profit economics; major in history of microcredit at the University of Ferrara (CARID) -Degree in economics of tourism; major in marketing re-launch of a Tout Operator at Ca' Foscari University of Venice No restrictions at all.

Antonella was a terrific guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable and really made our day. Her explanations of the history of Doge's Palace and St Mark's Basilica added so much richness to what we were seeing. And the way she explained everything was engaging and kept us interested every step of the way. It's clear she has a passion for what she does. To anyone considering a tour with Antonella, don't hesitate!
5 STARS!! Antonella was an absolutely FABULOUS guide! Our private tour of the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s went beyond our expectations. Antonella is very knowledgeable about both past historical events and modern-day Venezia! We will definitely book another trip with her when we return to Italia!
An absolute, great experience seeing Saint Mark’s and the Doge’s Palace with Antonella. She is very knowledgeable and professional and it was a joy to be with someone who clearly loves talking about Venice and its history. Definitely the best way to visit these sites! Can’t recommend her enough.
Fabulous tour with so much great historical knowledge!
Great Tour by Antonella explaining history, art and curiosity of the sites. She took all necessary time to show all visitable areas of the Doge's Palace and the San Marks Basilica. We enjoyed so much this important Venetian visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Doge's Palace with Antonella. Her extensive knowledge gave us a good glimpse of Venetian history and life throughout the centuries. She managed to give us good information but was never boring.
Embark on an exciting walking experience where you will discover the most renowned sites in Venice: Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Square and its Cathedral. A prime example of Gothic architecture, the open-faced rooms and ornate façade of the Palace demonstrate the splendour of this beautiful city. Climb the Golden Staircase and cross the rooms of the power till the Bridge of Sighs, spanning the palace to a historic late_Renaissance prison across the canal. Visit St. Mark's Square with elegant buildings and cafes, the site of many musicians and artists, and the magnificent St. Mark's bizantine cathedral. Get ready for the astonishing view of 8. 000 square meters of 24 k golden mosaics!! Follow me through the impressive interior of the cathedral, and proceed to the glass showrooms where, if you wish, you can purchase authentic Venetian glassware. A tour experience that can be tailored to your specific needs. Please contact me for customization.
