Ciao! I am Silvia. I am happy to "virtually" meet you here! This is a wonderful opportunity for me to let you know how much I love my hometown and how proud I am to have had the privilege to be raised in such a unique environment. Venice is totally different from all the other places you may have ever visited in your life; people here are different! Imagine fighting daily against the elements to survive on the water. . . well this is quite a challenge! I am here to help you to understand how this was made possible more than 1500 years ago! I am not only a Licensed Tourist Guide but a Tour Leader too. I have always travelled in my own life and worked as an inbound operator in Venice and all over Italy for more than 15 years, both things combined are definitely a "plus" because I have a strong attitude to problem solving and great experience inside and outside the office which is not always offered by the people working in tourism. I studied at the technical Institute for Tourism in Venice and then got my graduation in foreign languages always working in the tourism business since the very beginning as a hostess doing transfers. The aspect that I love the most about my job is that I always get in touch with new people and I can customize the tours for my clients: age, mobility issues, interests. . . it is always a surprise! All my tours are customizable, we can always make arrangements and adapt the tours to your needs before you book them. I hope we can meet very soon here in Venice or in the Veneto Region which has a lot to offer: art, nature, tasty food and great wines! NOTICE From May 1st to October 31st - high season - my availability is very changeable so I suggest you contact me before booking. 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.

Don't miss the opportunity to join my unique tour of Venice's "essentials". During the tour all the basic information about Venice's history and the most important monuments that are considered MUST SEE attractions will be provided. St. Mark's square with its enchanting Cathedral housing the relics of Mark the Evangelist, the Belltower, and the imposing Floral Gotic style Doge's Palace. An amazing view on St. Mark's basin where boats and galleys used to stop in the past. The Rialto Bridge which was the first bridge to be built across the Grand Canal. Tour is external only in order to maximize your time and get the best of Venice.
I am a travel agent who books often with Tours by Locals, and Silvia, was one of the friendliest and most knowledgable guides that I have had. She was prompt in responding to my messages, and in addition to the tour being excellent, she shared her favorite restaurants with us and things to do. If you want to learn about Venice and see Venice, book with Silvia.
wonderful tour, lot of information. HIghly recommend
Great tour! Silvia led a very informative, and interesting tour of the city. Highly recommended! Thanks.
Sylvia was awesome! So glad we booked her and this tour. Very knowledgeable and covered a lot of the ins and outs of Venice in just a couple hours. She's well worth the time/cost.
Silvia worked with us to customize a great walking tour of Venice. She was energetic, a joy to work with and also very knowledgeable of Venice and all the sites she took us to. We enjoyed our time with her. She exceeded our expectations for a fun and local tour. THANK-YOU!
If there is only one tour of Venice - this would be the one! Our private guide, Silvia, was fantastic!! She was incredibly knowledgeable giving us insight you won't get elsewhere. She took her time to explain the historical aspects of the city/landmarks while giving us the current state of affairs. Our tour included a great visit to St Marks and walking tour around Venice. Thank you Silvia!!
-We will meet up in St. Mark's Square and will examine all the important monuments in it: The 2 Big Columns, The Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, St. Mark's Basilica, The Clock Tower, Marciana Library, Procurators' Offices and Napoleonic Wing. -After that we will leave the religious and political heart of Venice to reach the ancient commercial hub of the town known as Rialto. -We will leave the crowd behind for a while in order to get an amazing view of the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge. -During this tour you will be supplied with a useful map and are given information about museums, exhibitions, concerts, where to eat, how to move around - and what to avoid!
