Born and raised in Venice I am an Art expert and a seasoned traveller. I work as a licensed Tour Guide in Venice since 2012. I took a University degree in Art History in 1994 and then I left Venice to go to Paris and to Brussels for 6 months. I ended up spending abroad 13 years. While abroad I took a Masters degree in Marketing and Communication and I started working in different international environments. Then I moved together with my husband to Vienna. That's why I speak fluent English, French and a conversational German. We are back in Venice now since 2009, we have two wonderful boys and we enjoy being again close to our families. What I like most of my job is to unveil my home place to curious visitors. There's so much to see in Venice. There are so many fabulous stories to tell. Every client is different, has a different background, has different expectations. Venice can satisfy each of them, the challenge is to find the right key. I think I have a wonderful job in the most beautiful office of the world! NOTICE FOR TRAVELLERS ON A CRUISE SHIP If you'll be in Venice staying on a cruise ship and just in transit unfortunately I can't get any bookings as you won't be arriving at the previous dock in central Venice and in most cases you'll be told about the final docking place just the day before. Tour Guide License n° 1114 (Venice Metro Area) Port Security Pass n° 2017 (Venice Port Authority) Licensed Guides in Venice have no restrictions at all.

For Art Lovers
Overview of your Venice tour
The Accademia Gallery is the main Museum for Venetian Painting in town. Created under Napoleon as "Royal Academy of Fine Arts" the Collection gathers several masterpieces by the greatest Venetian painters - Bellini, Carpaccio, Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese, Tiepolo. As a Venetian and an Art Expert I consider this Museum a real treasure. This is the place where I can show you how the Rialto bridge looked like over five hundred years ago and where I can explain you how to 'read' Titian's last canvas. I will meet you in front of the Museum's entrance and we'll visit the collection following a chronological order. We will explore together the magic of the Venetian Painting, we will track the historical context, focus on techniques and admire the bright colours that have made the Venetian painting renowned in the world. The visit of the Museum may be followed by a short walk in the surroundings.

We had a great visit. Giovanna has a wealth of knowledge she imparted to us on the history and the art of Venice. I would recommend her highly for anyone going to the Accademy.
Donald B.United States
Giovanna Was very knowledgeable and fun to visit with. We learned so much more about the rich history of Venice and the progression of the art styles than we could have a by attending the museum on our own.
Paul D.United Kingdom
The Accademia Galleries with Giovanna was a fantastic experience and was beautifully paced. It was so enjoyable that we could have very happily spent twice the actual length of the tour with her! Her knowledge of the art history of Venice was really impressive and she brought the artworks and the artists to life far better than any audio guide could. Most of all she is a really warm, engaging and charming person. We thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about visiting the Accademia Galleries.

Giovanna's tour of the Accademia on October 4 was one of the best tours we have taken in 35 years of travel to Europe. It was well paced, lots of detail and insight and most of all she was absolutely charming. The time flew as she made it so interesting. If our schedule would have allowed we would have tried to book her for another tour during our stay in Venice.
