My name is Minù. Venice is the city of my mother's family and I have lived here nearly all of my life. I have also lived in Paris, Vienna, Tehan and Berlin, and worked as a journalist for cinema magazines in Dublin and London. I am a graduate in Art History and Italian Literature from the University of Venice. Living in Venice gave me the opportunity to specialize in contemporary art with the Guggenheim and the Art Biennale where I started giving tours in 1999. In recent years the Pinault and Prada Foundations have become part of my tours too. As a certified professional tourist guide and resident of Venice I am eager to show you the historical, art and architectural features of my city. I'm a mom of twins and I know that visiting Venice with kids is not always easy, particularly in the rain. The city has so much to offer that there is always something of interest for every member of the family. I consider myself lucky living and working in such an extraordinary city, this provides me with an authentic living experience that I'm ready to share with you my visitor clients. As a licensed guide you can enter with me all museums, churches, historical buildings, art collections and exhibits. This means you'll always get first hand and qualified knowledge about the sites you'll visit. I'm looking forward to see you in Venice!! ------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTICE: In high season I suggest you contact me first as my availability can change from day to day or even within hours Tourist Guide License 56640 (VENICE Metro area) Port Security Pass 30026 (Venice Port Authority) Tourist Guide License (VICENZA Metro area) Tour Manager License 1056 (Venice Metro area) Licensed Guides in Venice have no restrictions at all.

Minu was an exceptional guide and gave us a wonderful introduction to Venice. She expertly guided us through all of the city’s famous landmarks while sharing fascinating historical and cultural insights that made the city come alive. What really set her apart was her ability to customize the tour to our interests and show us lesser-known corners of Venice that most visitors never get to experience. The hidden gems, local stories, and unique perspectives she shared helped us see Venice beyond the typical tourist attractions. Minu was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Minu is very knowledgeable of everything in Venice. She guided us through the St. Mark Basilica and the Doge Palace with easy and knowledge. She found us great places to eat that were not too crowded. She helped us get on the right boats to get to Murano by ourselves. She stayed with us until we got on the right boat back to our hotel. She even followed up with us the next day. She also found evaluators for my wife who was having trouble with stairs.
