Ciao, I'm Nicoletta! Welcome to my ToursByLocals Venice page. I'm a local, I'm an Art Historian, I've worked as a professional certified private guide since 2009 and I love this job. I love staying with people, I love Venice, its light, its Art, its Beauty, and I consider it a privilege to share it with people that really wants to understand and appreciate it. Venice is so beautiful and fragile, and I think that showing its real Beauty I will help people to respect it. Since my graduation in "Art History and Conservation of Cultural Heritage", in 2002, with a thesis on cultural aspects of the Venetian mainland, I have worked in educational programs of some of the major museums of Venice (Correr, Accademia Galleries, Doge's Palace, Peggy Guggenheim): I've worked with schools, families and groups of children, developing particular tours to explain art and history in an exciting way. I've led some special tours focusing on the discovery of the Lagoon and its nature, too, for children and adults. In the same years, as a journalist and an art critic, I have developed a special passion for Contemporary Art, and I have published reviews and small catalogues for several artists. In 2009 I gained the license to work as a professional guide in Venice, so I can now share my knowledge and passion for Art, History, and the wonderful city of Venice, with its fancy palaces and narrow streets, its dark sotoporteghi and canals, its unique history and nature. As a certified tourist guide I can bring you everywhere and explain you any sites and museums in Venice and in Veneto Region. I love food and wine, too, and I've created some itineraries for people that want to discover the traditional cuisine of my city. And, being Mum of two little and wonderful kids, I know how to comunicate the Beauty of Venice to the youngest ones. Having worked for so many years in Venice with different people of different age from all over the word, I have developed a strong attitude to problem solving: you will be in very good and expert hands! All my tours are private and can be customized. Let me know what are your main interests (Art, History, Food, traditions and crafts), I will be glad to design the best tour that fits them! ------------------ NOTICE: between April the 1st and October the 31st I suggest you to contact me before booking, as my availability can change from day to day or even within hours IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING ON A CRUISE If you will be in Venice staying on a cruise ship or just in transit, I can't get any booking from you. Unfortunately, cruise ships are not arriving anymore at the central Venice dock and you will be told about the final docking place just the day before. This make it impossible to schedule any tour with me, I'm sorry.

Overview of your Venice tour

If you stay in Venice just one day, this tour is the best for you. In few hours, you will have a good introduction over the History, the traditional activities, the most important monuments and some of the best places in the City. You will start visiting one of the most beautiful glass factories on Murano islands, where you will see how our glass masters create their stuffs using techniques that were developed on the island Centuries ago. Back to Venice, you will walk into some of the less beaten areas of the City, where you will see how and where the locals like me live. You will take a "traghetto" (a little gondola) to cross the Gran Canal in about 2 minutes, in order to visit the open air market in Rialto. Crossing the most famous bridge in the world, you will walk to the Piazza San Marco, where you will hear about the wonderful History of the Republic of Venice, admiring the Basilica of St Mark's the Doge's Palace, and much more.
