Hi, I've been working as a tour guide since 2018. I moved to Venice once finished the high school to study at the Cà Foscari University, and then I stayed. I love Venice for being such unique, an incredible stand-alone reality, and a place where the human contact is still very present and part of the daily life. Despite its small size, Venice has thousands of sides to be discovered and several labyrinths where to get lost. Discovering Venice with me means looking her through an experienced local's eyes, fell in love with this city. I love traveling and experience new places, cultures and habits. I love the outdoors, walking, and sharing my experience with my guests. I think that meeting different people with different cultures and backgrounds has an inestimable value.

Overview of your Venice tour

Castello is the largest of Venice's six sestieri (districts) and the most populated by local people, because here it's still possible to relax the mind after a day of hard work, far from the chaos of the central part of the city and breath the genuineness that makes it unique. Forget the city center and the feeling of pressure you can experience during the high season! Every single corner of Venice is beautiful, but the spots where you can enter in contact with its real soul are quite hidden. So, let's walk inside the labyrinth at a slow pace and appreciate another side and different nuances of our mysterious city. Let yourselves be surprised by the charming side of Venice and its magic atmosphere. We will taste different sorts of cicchetti (Venetian appetizers), to savor the Venetian cuisine, accompanied by a good glass of wine at each stop. Taking this tour with me has a plus because I'm attending a class to become a sommelier, so I'll give you detailed information about the wine world.

Fantastic tour and guide! Frederica is so knowledgeable and as much as we loved tasting all the cicchetti and wine, we enjoyed just as much learning all she had to share about Venice. Everything was delicious, so much so we actually went back on our own later in the trip for more! Highly recommend!

Venice was our favorite. This tour was a great introduction to neighborhoods where we could have great food and wine with locals. Our guide was so kind and attentive—she also doubled as a tour guide. She showed us some great locations, and we frequented a few of the restaurants.

This is must do in Venice!! Our guide Federica was very knowledgeable about the Venation culture and history. Our tour took us to some of the most amazing food shops were we enjoyed tasting a variety of local food. Getting to these different food stops included a fascinating journey through the districts. Federica did not rush our tour we spent as much time as need to experience the local cuisine. If I go back to Venice this would be the first tour I book, simply awesome. Too bad she did not give food tours in Rome, Pisa, or Pompeii we would have booked her!

Federica was very knowledgeable of the town and customs of Venice. We sampled great food at bàcari that we would never thought to patronize and food we wouldn't have otherwise tried. We enjoyed our tour very much.

We loved our tours with Federica! We learned much about Venice while eating our way through the city. While we covered a lot of ground, the tour was a good pace and enjoyable throughout. Federica was kind, knowledgable and could even find alternatives when I didn't want to eat seafood in a city built around seafood.
