I'm a so happy to present myself - I'm a licensed guide in Venice and especially I'm local… yes I'm a local Venetian who was born and lived in this unique city for 29 years. Now I live in a city nearby only 20 min by bus but my heart is still in Venice. I have the history degree from Ca'Foscary the university in Venice and I'm offering my knowledge with simplicity and fun to tourists enjoying them a lot. I love this guide work and it's a big honor to explain with passion and love Venice to tourists, I like to do tours in the main areas such as San Mark's square and its beauties as doge's palace and San Mark's basilica but I can guide in other "hidden" and not usual places from Rialto to Marco Polo's area where he was born and lived. I can show to you the Jewish ghetto and other interesting places in this unique city. Venice is so different from other cities in the world and you will like for sure and during my tours I will show to you these with all my passion and you will feel inside of you. So now i'm waiting for your bookings for one of my tours, you can choose and you will like and enjoy with me. Alessandro is waiting for you. Thanks a lot! I've a history degree from Ca'Foscari university; I'm a licensed guide in Venice. I’m not a taxi driver. I do especially walking tours in Venice. I have a lot of contacts of taxi drivers in Venice anyway

Overview of your Venice tour
In this tour I will show to you first of all the special Rialto area where I went and still today I often go to the market to buy vegetables and fruit, there you will feel the real venetian life and you will feel as a local venetian. I will show to you a nice mask shop atelier where you can make by yourselves a mask and painting it in a workshop. . . I will explain how important is the carnival still today and for me too, since I was a child I dressed myself with a lot of different costumes and I love still today to do it, it's so nice to enjoy in Venice during this important party. What can I say about "libreria acqua alta" I went there a lot of time and i'm going still today to choose a lot of interesting books and the prices aren't so expensive . . . and a nice thing that distinguish this place from others is that there are a lot of cats inside, they are so nice! And as a happy ending San Mark’s basilica the golden church and you’ll wonder about
