Ciao! I’m a licensed tour leader and national guide, born and raised in Venice, with family roots in the city stretching back over 500 years. I would love to share my Venice — both the famous landmarks and the hidden treasures — with you. From the bustling Piazza San Marco to quiet hidden gardens, from boutique artisan shops to secret alleyways, I’ll guide you through the city’s beauty, history, and traditions. Along the way, you’ll hear family stories passed down through generations about the personalities, mysteries, and legends that shaped Venice. Many visitors book me for their first full day in Venice, whether arriving by cruise ship, flying in for a short stay, or passing through on a longer Italian journey. My tours are designed so you’ll leave not only having experienced the very best of the city, but also with the confidence to explore independently — armed with maps, recommendations, and insider tips from a true Venetian. But our adventures don’t stop at the city’s edge. I also offer unforgettable day trips to Padova, Verona, Treviso, the Dolomites, and even Florence. Together, we can make the most of your time in Italy — whether it’s an art-filled stroll through medieval towns or a breathtaking mountain walk. I am available daily from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, including weekends and public holidays, and often at short notice — even if you arrive without plans, there’s a good chance I can be ready to guide you. Why choose a private tour with me? Every itinerary is tailor-made for your interests — from grand landmarks to authentic bacari (wine bars) for a cicchetti tasting. I can help arrange experiences like gondola rides or artisan workshop visits. You’ll enjoy the flexibility, depth, and personal touch that only a private guide can offer. Qualifications & Background: Licensed Tour Leader (Veneto Region, Venice) and National Guide (exam taken in Parma) Ca’ Foscari University: Languages & English Literature. Course in Byzantine History, History of Venice, Venetian Painting. Master’s Degree in Marketing – University of Westminster, London Professional travel & hospitality experience with American Express Travel and Walt Disney World Florida (Disney Quality Service training) Let’s design your perfect Venetian adventure — from the Doge’s Palace and Basilica of San Marco to secret neighborhoods and wine-tasting tours.

An amazing tour focused on what we wanted as well as finding some unexpected gems.

Elisabetta was amazing! My wife and I had never been to Venice, and she was recommended by a friend, and surpassed all expectations. We met her on our first full day, so it was the perfect orientation to all of the areas of Venice. Being a Venice resident, and city tour guide for 25 years, she knows all of the places to go/see, and the best ways to avoid the crowds. Her knowledge of Venice history and of the area is top-shelf. Our six hours with her made the next two days even better because we now knew the "ins and outs" of how to explore and see Venice. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend Elisabetta's Venice immersion tour!

Elisabetta is a true Venetian and was so knowledgeable about her home city. She planned the day around our interests and combined that with her living experience. She was personable and we all enjoyed her company. Would highly recommend Elisabetta!

Elisabetta was wonderful . Our tour involved a variety of areas showing us not only important landmarks, but also the true Venitian life.

Elisabetta was amazing. She knows the city inside and out. Our group had two families with a total of 5 boys ages 17-23 and she kept them interested. She was very flexible in here approach and adapted the tour to our interests. Starting at 7 am allowed to move around the City and see things we could not have seen as easily without the early start.

Words cannot express what an amazing day we had with Elisabetta. If you want a true tour of Venice from a resident whose family has been here for generations, then look no further. Elisabetta became a friend by the end of the day. She taught us Venice’s rich history, wove in personal stories and real life tidbits, and left us with an incredible understanding and love for this unique and magical city. We let her guide us through the “other” neighborhoods as she showed us the gems of the city away from the crowds. We ate lunch at her local neighborhood place and took us through parts of the city that most tourists will never get to and don’t even know exist. We felt her passion for her home with every step. It wasn’t a tour at all. It was a day spent with a friend who wanted to show us the city she loved. And THAT is a memory my family and I will cherish forever.

Your Venice tour itinerary

We will start with exploring together the hearth of the city, Saint Mark square, the Basilica, the bell tower and the Doge's Palace ( all from the outside). Continuing to the old trading centre of Venice, Rialto and a coffee stop before wandering around the fish and vegetable market. The tour is really designed so that I can offer you a series of choices of different itineraries and we can put it together as you like. After this we can take a quick break and decide for the second part. You will have the choice of visiting: the less known areas in Castello or Dorsoduro and the Frari church, or Canareggio and the Jewish Ghetto. If you prefer we could get a ticket and go to Murano and assist to a glass blowing demo! A stop for a quick taste of a cicchetto and glass of wine, some shopping time and even the possibility to see some of the rare green areas in Venice. The all day will be a unique experience! Please contact me for customization!
