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.

If you know about the refined quality of the Venetian glass and want to see a master at work you need to visit the island of Murano. This tour combines the visit of a glass factory with a walk through Venice. To reach the island of Murano we'll take a private motor boat. On the island we will visit a glass factory where you will see a glass master at work. You will learn about the glass blowing and the fascinating history of this unique art. Back to Venice we'll take a walk throughout the neighbourhood of Cannaregio, at a slow pace, to let you enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the area while I will tell you about the daily life in Venice, its history, its traditions. The walk ends in the square of St. Mark, the most iconic place of the city.
This was my second trip to Venice and my second trip having Giovanna as my guide. The short version is that if I make a third trip to Venice, she will be my guide then too. Giovanna is so attentive to her client and.so excited about her wonderful city. She really is one of the very best guides I’ve ever had with ToursByLocals, and my wife and I have had quite a few.
Our Venice and Murano Highlights tour with Giovanna was excellent. Giovanna is highly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Venice, along with the many nuances of life there through the ages up until current times. She took our interests and schedule into careful consideration when crafting our tour, and even arranged for a special opportunity to view some gorgeous panoramas of the city. Our private boat to Murano was included, and she provided numerous suggestions for the remainder of our trip.
Giovanna designed a custom tour for and coered exactly what we wanted to see. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learned a lot about Venice and Murano. The trip to Murano was special because she took us to a glass factory that she had a personal relationship with and so we really got to see and learn a lot. A great experience.
Giovanna was knowledgeable about the history of Venice. She kept everyone entertained in our group that ranged from age 11- adult. Would recommend this tour to others who want to private tour by a local.
