Raised in the United States, I have spent half my life immersed in the culture and diversity of American life. My journey took a beautiful turn when I moved to Venice, Italy, to reconnect with my Italian heritage through my mother. This relocation opened my eyes to the stunning architecture, vibrant art scene, and exquisite cuisine that define this enchanting city. My experiences traveling and living in these two distinct worlds have equipped me with a fresh perspective and a passion for sharing the beauty and history of Venice. As a local, I'm eager to introduce visitors to the hidden treasures of this remarkable city, ensuring they experience the authentic essence of Venetian llife. I organize customized tours based on your personal interests ​​and I provide my guests with information on transportation, local events, monuments and, of course, our most traditional and captivating restaurants. I have a strong understanding of how our city works, I strongly respect this majestic lagoon and I can guarantee full satisfaction in exploring the most beautiful sites that Venice has to offer. It will be an unforgettable journey! Licensed Tour Leader living in Venice for over 20 years.
