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.

A great way to get introduced to Venice
Overview of your Venice tour
No matter how long you'll stay in Venice, there is a number of great sites that can't be missed, especially if you are a first time visitor. This tour is intended to introduce you to Venice's main sites including St. Mark's square and the Rialto market area. In addition to the central district we will also walk through a less touristy part of town where the crowds don't get that often. During the tour I will bring you to know, step by step, the city's main facts and figures such as the urban fabric, the water environment, building techniques, preeminent sites and, last but not least, the present Venetian life. I love questions and I love to listen to your comments. Your eyes and years help me to get constant new perspectives and a different understanding of what I think I know so well. I look forward to meeting you!
