Prosecco Hills Private tour & Wine tasting

My name is Lucrezia and I am a licensed tour guide in Venice! I was born and raised in the northern "Sestiere" (district) of Venice: Cannaregio. Since I was a child I've always been interested in other countries and cultures and I loved studying foreign languages, so I chose graduate in Literature and Foreign Languages and then got a master degree in Economics of Tourism and Arts at the University of Venice - Ca' Foscari. Meanwhile I had the chance to travel as well, I visited most of the European capitals and part of the United States, but I also spent some weeks in the UK, France, Spain and Russia to study. The love for my city, Venice, has never decreased over the years though and this is why I have decided to become a tour guide. My "mission" is to show travelers my city from a local's point of view, by sharing my passion and enthusiasm for my hometown with them, as only a local could do. Most of my tours are "off-the-beaten-track", since I think that, in order to see the true Venice, it's necessary to walk away from the crowds and from the touristy sites and walk through charming and quiet neighborhoods, looking for the hidden corners and peaceful streets of the city, where you can still feel the authenticity and the magic of this place. I love to focus also on local traditions, habits and lifestyle today and in the past, to let you see how it feels like to be a local in Venice! I'd like travelers to feel at home here, as if they were simply having a relaxing walk with a longtime Venetian friend!
