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. National Tourist Guide License 155 (exam taken in Ravenna) Tour Leader License (Venice Province) Venice Jewish Community Authorized Guide for Synagogues I am a licensed guide, no restrictions at all.

Join me, a real native and fully licensed Venetian tour guide, in this "Special" approach to the city's history and culture. From anywhere on Venice island this tour starts with a panoramic boat ride to better discover this unique city. Venice is on the water and this will give you the chance to better understand how life goes on here: on the Grand Canal and on some minor canals. After the boat tour, I will show you a lesser-known and mainly residential part of the city where you will learn about Venice origin and daily life. The tour continues with the visit of the very heart of Venice: St. Mark's square. The square was for centuries the civic forum of Venice and encompasses the most important buildings in town. We will visit St. Mark's Basilica with its beautiful mosaics indoor. At the end of the tour, all the indications to go back to your place will be given.
Silvia was knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed her role of educating others about her city. Starting the tour on the water was perfect as it provided an effective way to understand the geography of Venice. A treasure of a city which can be definitely more understandable with a guide like Silvia. We enjoyed our time spent with Silvia and would recommend her as your Venice guide.
The four of us absolutely loved our experience with Silvia. A great balance of knowledge and personal experience. Easily paced and adjusted to our needs. Hit the exact sights we asked for in our trip planning. Excellent job balancing and managing the water taxis and drivers which are part of any day in Venice. We spent so much money getting to Venice I am glad we spent this little bit more to ensure we experienced it perfectly.
Silvia was an exceptional guide who brought the magic of Venice alive for my grandson Viktor. With her deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, she captivated us at every turn. A true Venetian experience! Silvia is a superb guide, expertly connecting Venice's sights with its rich history, making it accessible and enthralling for Viktor. Her passion for the city truly enhanced our journey. A memorable tour!
Silvia was the perfect guide, punctual, entertaining and thoroughly knowledgeable. My wife and I saw many neighbourhoods of Venice we probably would never would have visited on our own. Along the way we were taken through the entire history of Venice and its customs. The restaurant Silvia recommended was a local gem and my wife's allergies were accommodated. All our questions were answered in full. Thank you, Silvia.
Silvia is an extraordinary guide! Informative, funny, engaging, and super energetic. All of us - from ages 13-49 - had the BEST day learning about Venice from a Venetian! I can't recommend this experience enough - if you want to understand the magic, history, and challenges of this unique and extraordinary place then don't miss this opportunity to see Venice with Silvia!
Silva was great. So much knowledge of Venice and its history. Very helpful in so many ways. Would recommend her to anyone.
-Meeting at the agreed location on Venice island (not on the mainland). -We will board a private water taxi from the nearest pier and start a one hour boat ride along the Grand Canal and inner Canals. -Drop off in a residential district out of the beaten tracks (might change according to the starting point of the tour). -Walking tour trough the hidden Venice narrow alleys -Visit of St. Mark's square and its monuments.

Most of the tour will be walking (4 hours approx) but we will also enjoy a lovely water-taxi cruise, being picked up in a private boat and experiencing Venice from the water in style.
