Benvenuti! I'm Daniela, a passionate local guide specializing in Venice, Vicenza and the stunning Palladian Villas. I offer a variety of tailored tours across the Veneto Region, catering to first-time visitors as well as returning travelers eager to explore hidden gems beyond the usual tourist routes. My goal is to create a truly personalized experience, unveiling the beauty, history, and fascinating stories that make this Region so unique. With a deep love for history and fine arts, I have spent years immersing myself in the rich heritage, traditions and folklore of Veneto. I hold a specialization in contemporary Venetian history and have pursued a master's degree at Venice University, focusing on the history and art of this extraordinary city. As a true local, I take great pride in sharing my passion with my guests. Whether it’s a sightseeing adventure through my favorite spots, an off-the-beaten-path exploration, or a delightful food and wine tour, I craft experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Being a true "foodie," I love discovering authentic restaurants where you can savor traditional Italian flavors. I love working with independent travelers, building a friendly and informal connection with my guests. Flexibility is key, I enjoy adapting itineraries to match their interests, sometimes uncovering secret gardens or hidden gems along the way. In the end, every tour becomes a unique and personalized experience, shaped by the mood and passions of my guests. I truly love what I do, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to share my passion with others.

Overview of your Venice tour

Welcome to Venice, a city where every canal tells a story, every bridge whispers history, and every hidden alleyway holds a secret waiting to be discovered. Begin your journey from your hotel in the city center and let's explore St. Mark’s Square, where the golden mosaics of the Basilica and the elegant silhouette of the Doge’s Palace will transport you to the grandeur of the past. Wander through the labyrinthine streets to discover the iconic Rialto Bridge and the lesser-known corners where local artisans still practice ancient trades. A short boat ride away, Murano awaits—a floating island of glassblowers, where fire and sand are transformed into breathtaking works of art. Step into historic furnaces, meet the masters of this millennia-old craft, and witness the delicate dance of glass shaping before your eyes. This itinerary blends Venice’s must-see highlights with its hidden gems, offering an unforgettable experience rich in history, charm, and authentic craftsmanship.
