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.

Treviso, just half an hour train ride from Venice, was considered 'the garden of Venice'. I will be happy to show you around the city where I studied for many years, the place where I go when I like to leave Venice for a little while, where I go to see some gardens and do come shopping. Very often ignored by tourists who prefer the nearby town of Venice, has much to offer. Enjoy an half day tour and discover its wonderful and hidden corners, shops, canals. Close to the vineyards where the Prosecco is born, we will wonder the small little medieval paths, looking for some of the most caring corners of this town!
-The centre of Treviso is a little walled city, with medieval gates, narrow, cobbled streets of arcaded rose-red brick and stone. -Tiny canals run past an handkerchief-sized gardens, glide beneath houses, appear at street corners. -Dante described Treviso as ' the place where the Sile and the Cagnan go hand in hand', the two rivers come together to circle the town. -We reach Treviso with the train direction Piazza dei Signori, the medieval centre till the Pescheria, the daily fishmarket on a little island, we will walk through Via Calmaggiore, the best shopping street in town, to go to Duomo. -We will walk to San Nicolò to admire some of the most beautiful frescoes painted by Tomaso da Modena. -A stop for a cicchetto and a lovely prosecco in town and a little bit of shopping time is included.
