Welcome! I’m a passionate explorer of Venice’s timeless beauty. After nearly 40 years as an English teacher, I’ve turned a lifelong love for this extraordinary city into a new adventure—offering authentic, personalized tours that go far beyond the usual landmarks. I’ve called Venice home since 1987, and I’m still constantly amazed by its hidden corners, untold stories, and subtle details most visitors never notice. As a volunteer with FAI (the Italian National Trust), I’m deeply connected to the city’s history, architecture, and traditions—and I love sharing that passion with curious travellers. Whether you’re intrigued by Renaissance secrets, contemporary art at the Biennale, or simply want to wander off the beaten path, I’d love to guide you through the real Venice—the one that locals cherish. With me, you’ll discover more than just sights; you’ll uncover meanings, moments, and memories. Let’s explore Venice together, one story at a time. Docent at the Olivetti Showroom since 2017. Research and management of the guided tours for the Danieli Hotel on the 200th anniversary of the house in 2022. I do not have a license to give tours of the Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Basilica, the State Museums or the Civic Museums. Beginning in 2024, a new access fee will be implemented for visitors to Venice. While some visitors are exempt from this fee, others will be required to pay.

Immerse yourself in the hidden charms of Venice with my walking tour of this mesmerising city. Leave behind the bustling crowds and embark on a journey of tranquillity as we unveil the lesser-known gems and enchanting secrets that lie off the beaten path. I will lead you through narrow alleyways and winding canals, revealing the hidden corners of Venice that are often overlooked by tourists. As you wander through these secluded areas, you'll feel the allure of a bygone era, where time seems to stand still. Explore hidden squares, discover picturesque bridges, and encounter quiet neighbourhoods where Venetian traditions thrive. Marvel at the architectural wonders of centuries-old palaces and churches, adorned with intricate details and fascinating stories. Learn about the fascinating history and legends that have shaped this unique city, and gain insights into the daily life of its residents.
We'll meet near in front of the church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo. Afterwards, we'll walk to the secluded area near the Scuola della Misericordia along the minor canals in the city's northern area and reach the Madonna dell'Orto's church with Tintoretto's masterpieces. If you haven't got lost in the interplay of light and water, we'll end the tour at the Jewish Quarter.
