Ciao! My name is Giuseppina, I was born in Venice and I have lived here almost all my life, in a house a few steps from Piazza San Marco, next to the opera house. Since I was little I have always been surrounded by culture and art; my father took me to see an opera when I was 5 years old, I studied ballet for many years and I fell in love with beauty since childhood. Working as a guide in my city is the best thing that could happen to me: Venice is unique in every sense: for its history, for its geographical conformity, for its position, and I love explaining to my guests why it is so particular; I do it during walks between a coffee and an ice cream, I love showing museums and sites of interest without lecturing, but with the hope that those who listen to me will fall in love with the place they are visiting as it happened to me. Plus, Venice is a city that is still alive, and I like to show aspects of daily life: my satisfaction is that my guests feel like Venetians during their stay.

Wonder why and how Venice is built in such a particular way? You probably need a visit that hits the main spots that make this city unique and so special First and foremost, St. Mark square, the ancient entrance of town, where all symbols of the local government had to be seen from everybody: the winged lion, the Doge's Palace skyline, the bridge of sighs, the clock and the bell tower. A must see is the wonderful Basilica of St. Mark the Evangelist, one of the most remarkable examples of Byzantine influence in Italy: the exterior with its marble columns and the interior with its incredible mosaics are an unique mix of art and cultures, impossible to miss. And then, after having browsed the main landmarks, let's jump on a boat and enjoy the most clever way to see the town: by the water! With a private water taxi we use the ancient "street" of the city: the canal, which allows you to enjoy from the best point of view the Rialto bridge and other important areas of town. This tour is customizable.
* Tour starts at your hotel. * We reach St. Mark square and we'll understand why it was called "Most Serene Republic of Venice" and why it has such a particolar shape and architecture. * We'll visit the Basilica of St. Mark with a prebooked skip-the-line ticket, admiring with no rush the cycle of mosaics and the incredible Pala d'oro behind the altar of the Saint. * Once done with the square, we board on a private watertaxi in order to see the main street of the city, the Grand Canal, called the most beautiful street in the world, and you will agree that the best way to enjoy my town is by water. We'll indulge among suberb Palazzos and small canals, passing under the Rialto bridge and sightseeing the market and many details you can see only by water. * tour ends where you want: at a restaurant, back at the hotel or in the square.
