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.

Are you spending little time in Venice? Do you want to capture as much information as possible from a one-shot visit? This tour has been designed for you! This tour is a 'crash course' on Venice. I am a traveller myself and I know that sometimes you just want the basics and then, enjoy the place on your own. This tour is a walk that blends the most iconic areas of Venice, like St. Mark's square and the Rialto bridge, with less beaten neighbourhoods. It is about the origin of Venice, its Myth, Marco Polo and the commercial domain of the Republic of Venice on the Mediterranean Sea. I will answer your questions on how Venice was built, on floods, on Gondolas, on how Venetians today live and cope with this unique environment. The tour ends in the Rialto area (and can be extended to 3 hours)
-The tour starts in St. Mark's square, the heart of the city, where land and water meet. -After a short introduction on Venice origin the guide will walk you into the maze of alleyways of the neighbourhood of Castello. We will cross bridges and squares, each one with a different story to tell. You will be free to ask as many questions as you want and you will discover a lot about the daily life of the Venetians in the past and in the present time. -The tour ends in the Rialto area. Please contact me for customization.
