Ciao! I'm Alice , from a small town close to the Dolomites, I moved to Venice 10 years ago in order to study foreign languages at Cà Foscari University. . . and I fell in love with the city! Living here for me it's like traveling back in time, you walk in the Calle, in the middle of historical buildings and you can breathe the same atmosphere that artists, politicians, merchants and artisans of the past felt! I always say that the best way to discover Venice is. . . getting lost! It's really easy here, but wandering around in the city you will discover beautiful hidden corners, places that are out of the beaten path, places that otherwise you would have missed! I am a licensed Tour Guide and Tour Leader and today this is a job that I enjoy because I would like to concretely contribute to help people understand the beautiful historical, cultural and social heritage that Venice offers, to learn how fragile this heritage can be and how each one can do something to preserve it! The purpose of my tours is to make you discover the other side of the city; of course everybody who comes to Venice should see the highlights such as Saint Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, Rialto Bridge. . . but there is more! Venice is full of secrets, unrevealed treasures, local legends that are part of the history of the city and that help its spirit to survive! A lot of the great artists of the past lived and stayed here; writers, philosopher and intellectuals used to exchange ideas and discuss theories inside the cafes. . . Venice is the artistic and historical witness of all those people; we will discover the footprints that they left! So, if you would like to experience a total immersion inside Venice, an unconventional tour experience, do not hesitate to contact me, together we can: - explore the gems of the city center, the most popular attractions of Saint Mark's Square; artistic and historical explanations will be enriched with local anecdotes and curiosities. - get fascinated by local life, see the most residential districts of the city where we will discover stunning buildings, churches, unrevealed facts, artisan shops and learn the "behind the scenes" of Venice. -take a boat excursion to the islands of the lagoon: Murano, the heart of glass production; Burano, famous for the colorful houses and lace production and Torcello, the quiet island where there is one of the oldest churches with fascinating mosaics. - taste and master the evolution of Venetian cuisine and perceive the most traditional drinks, cicchetti, and dishes that today you can still find inside the local Osterie, Trattorie and Bacari. - learn tips about how to improve your staying in Venice and make it an unforgettable visit. If you are interested in a specific aspect of the city, or have preferences about seeing a particular museum/church/ itinerary just contact me and we will customize the tour according to your preferences! I hope to see you soon in Venice! Tour Guide License #87/2017 (Bologna) Tour Leader License #181576/2017 (Firenze) None

Cannaregio is the most populated district of Venice, far from the chaotic and crowded streets, in Cannaregio you can have a full immersion inside the "Venice of the past": small inns, bacari, local craft shops, fish and grocery stalls where the Venetians are still doing their shopping. Within this tour, we will discover the beauties of the district, get a full immersion in Jewish culture, admire the artworks of Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque artists that are spread all over this area. It's my favourite district of the city because that's where the authentic spirit of Venice still survives. I lived in Cannaregio for two years and it still has a special place in my heart; my favourite cafes, restaurants and the best sunset spots are located here and I find it very relaxing walking in the Fondamenta of the district. Come and join my tour to feel the same sensations!
This was an excellent tour. We learned so much about Venice and saw lovely, quiet parts of the city that we would have missed otherwise. Alice was an absolutely wonderful tour guide - very knowledgeable and friendly! Highly recommend!
Alice was sweet, accommodating and so knowledgeable! We really enjoyed our morning w her. Would’ve loved to have been w her all day!
When visiting Venice in September 2025, we felt that a true appreciation of the entire city would involve a visit to the Carnaggio region where the original Jewish ghetto and the present Jewish community are living. Alice, our tour guide was an amazing source of information regarding this entire area of Venice and its 1200 year history. She is extremely easy to talk with.. as her answers to all questions are very honest as well as educational. I don't believe our time in Venice would have been as full and worthwhile if it was not for this tour. If you want to look into the soul of this great historical city, then look no further than spend some time on Alice's tour. Andy W
Alice was a delight to be with and extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She presented us with a well-planned and informative tour which immeasurably increased our appreciation and love of Venice.
Alice was great. She is so knowledgeable and covers a perfect blend of history, art, engineering & architecture. I particularly liked her explanation about telling the age of buildings by the shape of their windows. I tend to ask lots of questions and she seemed perfectly fine with that. (Some tour guides just want to deliver a memorized speech about each sight)! I would definitely recommend her to friends.
This was a wonderfully informative tour and took us to the Canneregio district, an area that wasn't overwhelmed with tourists with alot of historical significance. Alice was an amazing tour guide.
-Starting from the Jewish quarter, we will trace the steps of Shylock, the main character of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice", and learn more about the life inside the Ghetto. -The tour will continue with the Church of Madonna dell'Orto, fantastic example of the Italian Gothic style and one of the favorite churches of Jacopo Robusti, better known as Tintoretto. - We will walk in the most popular area for the Venetian aperitivo, you will learn everything about local drinks and food! -We will discover the most beautiful gym in the world, the Scuola Grande della Misericordia. -The tour will end close to the city center.
