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.

A walking tour to discover the best of Venice
Overview of your Venice tour
Follow me to discover the best of Venice! A jump into the history of the "Most Serene Republic". Our tour starts from the iconic Piazza San Marco, where we will admire the Basilica, also known as the Golden Church. Saint Mark the Evangelist is buried there, among the gloving bizantine mosaics. After exploring the square to admire the Astrological Clock and after visiting the Doge's Palace, the stunning former headquarter of the Repubblic of Venice, we will venture into a maze of streets flanked by canals to discover the hidden stories of this city of nobles, artisans and merchants. Our tour will take us to discover Marco Polo's houses and to know more about the most famous merchant of all the time. During our walk I’ll show you the most characteristic "campi" (Venice squares) of the city and we will end in Rialto, where the market has been located for centuries. From the top of the Rialto Bridge the view of the Grand Canal is simply magnificent, a very good way to end our tour.
