Raised in the United States, I have spent half my life immersed in the culture and diversity of American life. My journey took a beautiful turn when I moved to Venice, Italy, to reconnect with my Italian heritage through my mother. This relocation opened my eyes to the stunning architecture, vibrant art scene, and exquisite cuisine that define this enchanting city. My experiences traveling and living in these two distinct worlds have equipped me with a fresh perspective and a passion for sharing the beauty and history of Venice. As a local, I'm eager to introduce visitors to the hidden treasures of this remarkable city, ensuring they experience the authentic essence of Venetian llife. I organize customized tours based on your personal interests and I provide my guests with information on transportation, local events, monuments and, of course, our most traditional and captivating restaurants. I have a strong understanding of how our city works, I strongly respect this majestic lagoon and I can guarantee full satisfaction in exploring the most beautiful sites that Venice has to offer. It will be an unforgettable journey! Licensed Tour Leader living in Venice for over 20 years.

My wife, Sue, and I were so fortunate to have been toured by Jo-Ann. She took the time in her introduction to insure we were getting the experience of how we hoped to see Venice. Her knowledge professionalism, and pace were so appreciated and made for a fantastic two day experience. Thank you again Jo-Ann!!
JoAnn was terrific. We are veteran travelers to Italy and Venice but she offered us a number of new spots and stories. A bery good tour!
Good tour
Joann was a great guide - informative and very pleasant. Since we have been to Venice previously, she provided a tour to show us some places we hadn’t been to. She also gave us some suggestions on places to see and even several restaurants. We recommend her very highly!
Group of 6 from Canada. I've never been to Venice. I watched all the YouTube videos, read all the blogs, and talked to everyone I knew that had been here. I thought I was prepared for our short visit, but I was blown away. You know you have done something right when the focus of our dinner conversation was more about the guide than the tour or city. Jo-Ann was friendly, bright, engaging, adaptive, personable, well educated and a joy to walk the streets of Venice with. She was very well prepared, went at our pace and quickly adapted to us. Well done Jo-Ann. Grazie
Perfect native English. Joanne shared her love of Venice with us. She took us to hidden gems, gave us great information, and allowed us to stop and take photos. We were never rushed. Highly recommend!
We will start our tour in Campo San Giovanni e Paolo, a unique field that gives you the possibility to admire the only hospital in Venice, a structure that coincides with a monumental complex full of history. Before walking towards the district of Castello, a typical Venetian residence, we'll be able to see the exact church in which the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi was baptized! In this district we will have the opportunity to pace through one of the rare gardens present in Venice, surrounded by peace and serenity, San Piero di Castello. The tour will finish in St. Marks Square by taking the Riva degli Schiavoni on foot, a monumental Venetian waterfront.
