Welcome to Veneto! I 'm Sabrina and I am an authorized and passionate tourist guide, working in the Province of Venice and Treviso. I've been working in tourism since 2005 and being a tour guide has always been my dream. It goes without saying, that I love Italy as well as the region where I was born, Veneto. I am very proud of being Italian and taking tourists around to discover the treasures of my home land is most rewarding indeed. I have always been fascinated by the past, because the past provides the insight needed to uncover the reasons for the present. After my diploma in Tourism, I took a Master Degree in Language Sciences, focusing on Germanic Philology. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity by discovering historical works and languages, following the path of the history of human kind. I took many exams about Venetian history, and I also studied for a semester at the Warwick University in the UK and at the Venice International University. I am now studying to get a second Degree in Art History. These in short are but a few of the reasons why I am passionate about my work: I love observing past artwork and understanding its history, as well as sharing my knowledge with others. I try to pass on this enthusiasm of mine to everyone I meet. In this way they too can see the world with wonder, just as I do.

Islands tour - Discovering The Venetian Lagoon
Overview of your Venice tour
The city of Venice is built on islands and it is surrounded by the wonderful Venetian lagoon! There are many islands scattered around in it and the most famous ones are Murano, world known for the glass production, Burano, with its picturesque colored houses and Torcello, where the first inhabitants of Venice started to live a long time ago. In this tour you will have the chance to discover the place by moving around on a private boat, accompanied by your local guide. I've been taking tourists around these places for more than 15 years and I have a deep knowledge of the treasures of the Venetian lagoon. I am specialized in Byzantine architecture, so if you are curious I can add some interesting anecdotes about the places.
