I was born and raised in one of the most authentic district of Venice, Cannaregio. After a degree in languages the love for my city, history and art, brought me directly into the professional world of turism, starting as tour leader/escort in 2008 to then get a license as a tour guide 3 years ago. I think that the beauty of the city is the city itself, the little details, secrets, hidden behind a corner the make Venice so unique. I like to show my clients the various aspects of the city, the showpieces as well as the unknown places, the famous islands and the little ones spreaded around the lagoon. I'm a foodie so another passion is to bring people around "osteria" to taste the local cicchetti(tapas) and wine. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. Degree in languages- Tour guide license - Port authority pass. None

Overview of your Venice tour

We'll be discovering the most iconic place in the city, S. Mark square, visiting the magnificent basilica dedicated to the patron of Venice decorated with astonishing golden mosaics to then move to the Doge's palace, the political and judicial heart of the republic where you'll admire paintings, statues, ambients depicting the values and ideals of Venice. We will also stroll around the central area to feel the pulsing heart of the city but at the same time trying to avoid the crowded places like a Venetian would do.

Mattia speaks excellent English is very knowledgeable of the history of Venice. We had an excellent walking tour of the city followed by lunch at a local trattoria. He is also very knowledgeable about the Venice restaurant scene and recommended a few good restaurants close to our hotel. I highly recommend Mattia for a tour in Venice.

Mattia was an informative and very entertaining guide, navigating us through the St Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace without waiting in lines and around and through the crowds. He also expertly navigated a reportedly unusual August high tide affecting St Marks Square. Thank you Mattia!

Mattia had all the qualities you want in a tour guide. As a local, his love of Venice and the surrounding islands came through with every aspect of the tour. His intricate knowledge of the city's history, culture, restaurants, waterways and streets made it an absolute delight for us. What really made the tour special was his charming, humorous, very endearing nature. It was truly an awesome experience we'll remember for years to come.

Mattia was wonderful! He knew what we wanted to see and do and he did his best to make sure we checked everything off our list. Exceptional guide who understood his audience and gave us the right amount of information at the right time. He was also a very fun and interesting person - we all felt very comfortable with him. Highly recommend!!!
