Hi, I've been working as a tour guide since 2018. I moved to Venice once finished the high school to study at the Cà Foscari University, and then I stayed. I love Venice for being such unique, an incredible stand-alone reality, and a place where the human contact is still very present and part of the daily life. Despite its small size, Venice has thousands of sides to be discovered and several labyrinths where to get lost. Discovering Venice with me means looking her through an experienced local's eyes, fell in love with this city. I love traveling and experience new places, cultures and habits. I love the outdoors, walking, and sharing my experience with my guests. I think that meeting different people with different cultures and backgrounds has an inestimable value.

Would you love to visit the gems of the Lagoon, but you are afraid of getting stuck in the tourist crowds of the public transportation, missing the chance to catch the magic of that moment? Don't worry, taking this tour, you will be able to admire the beauty of the islands in a relaxed mood. This is not the only reason that makes this experience unique. We will admire the traditional art of the glassblowing technique in a glass factory where artisans still work faithful to traditions. I'll lead you to an exclusive glass factory where we'll be given the white-glove treatment. After a full immersion in the magic of the glassmaking art, you'll be fascinated by the colorful houses in Burano, you'll feel like Alice in Wonderland! You'll be then enchanted by the skillful hands of an elderly lacemaker, who still works with passion. There's no best way to end the day with a nice walk on the island inhabited by Franciscan friars. There, we'll be welcomed and guided by one of them, immersed in nature and holiness.
If time permits, I highly recommend visiting both Murano and Burano. They offer complementary experiences. Murano provides a window into a remarkable artisanal tradition, while Burano captivates with its unparalleled visual charm and tranquil atmosphere. Federica was wonderful she offered a unique and memorable perspective on the Venetian Lagoon, showcasing both artistic heritage and breathtaking beauty. A must see!
Our tour with Federica was excellent! The water taxi was also great. We especially enjoyed the visit to the island San Francesco Del Deserto. We were the only tourists at this lovely and historic site. A monk provided a guided tour of the island's ancient monastery. He spoke in detail about the monastery's fascinating history. From this island, we continued to the beautiful island of Burano. We had a short snack before going into a lace maker's shop. I really liked this island! It is truly beautifully and interesting. It gave me the feeling of being in a smaller version of Venice. It has multicolored buildings, canals, boats, shops, cafes, and museums. From Burano, we continued on to Murano we toured a glass factory and its display rooms. They started with a glass making demonstration, before taking us upstairs to their display rooms.
We enjoyed our day visiting Murano and Burano with Federica. She is a delight and very knowledgeable about the area. The arrangements for our private water taxi were made in advance and it is the best way to see the islands during the busy summer season. The glass factory in Murano, lace shop in Burano and a quick stop for lunch were great. Thanks for the cookies Federica they were delicious. We appreciate all the effort Federica put in to providing us with a great experience in Venice!
Excellent tour and worth the money. Federica took us by private water taxi to Murano, Burano, & San Francisco del Deserto Islands. We were able to travel in style, skip the crowds, meet the people on these islands, and learn a lot. She answered all our questions in perfect English, and even bought us a bag of tasty cookies from a Burano bakery, where we got to meet the baker. At the end of the tour, she dropped us off right at our Airbnb. A perfect day! I feel like we made a friend. Highly recommended.
Federica did a wonderful job!!
