Buongiorno! My name is Michela, welcome to my ToursByLocals page! I’m an enthusiastic and passionate tour guide and I work in Venice, Vicenza, Padova and Palladian villas. I was born and raised in Vicenza, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and my love for art probably started there when I was very little. That is why I decided to move to Venice to study Art History at the Ca’ Foscari University and to become a tour guide. I’ve been working as a licensed tour guide for 15 years now, and the experience I gained and the knowledge of my land allow me to offer quality tours, fun and engaging at the same time. Before being a guide I’m a friendly and curious person who likes stories, anecdotes, and legends too. Whenever I can I like going off the beaten path, to discover something unusual. I love to share my passion for Art and for the beauty of the region where I have the chance to live. I can’t help but be amazed every time I walk around Venice, the magnificence of the Renaissance paintings, the hills and the villas in the Land of Venice. My tours are for those arriving in my region for the first time, but also for those who have already been here many times and want to discover something different. I really look forward to get in touch with you and to welcome in the Land of Venice soon! More about me: Licensed Local Guide since 2010 Licensed Tour leader since 2013 Masters degree in History of Arts and Preservation of Cultural Heritage, 110/110 with honours - Bachelors of Arts degree in Preservation of Cultural Heritage, 110/110 with honours I also worked many years as a guide in important art exhibitions, I was the event manager of an Associations of Architects, and I also did an internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice where I worked mainly with kids.

Best of Venice in a day
Overview of your Venice tour
Just one day in Venice? This is the perfect tour for you. Venice is unique: built on 160 islands, with more than 400 bridges it's a maze and it's very easy to get lost. Why waste your time when you can follow me to see the most iconic places in the city? I created this tour for the travellers who are staying in Venice for one day and they don't want to miss the best places in town but, at the same time, they would like to avoid the crowds as much as possible, to experience the unique and magic atmosphere of the city. Together we will discover the small quiet campi (squares) and narrow calle (streets) and I'll show you the places I like the most. We will then immerse ourselves in the lively fish and food market of Rialto, we'll cross the Rialto bridge to see the Grand Canal and we will end the tour in St. Mark's square, a must see in town and, in my opinion, the most beautiful square of the world!
