My goal is to create a truly personalized experience, unveiling the beauty, history, and fascinating stories that make this Region so unique. With a deep love for history and fine arts, I have spent years immersing myself in the rich heritage, traditions and folklore of Veneto. I hold a specialization in contemporary Venetian history and have pursued a master's degree at Venice University, focusing on the history and art of this extraordinary city. As a true local, I take great pride in sharing my passion with my guests. Whether it’s a sightseeing adventure through my favorite spots, an off-the-beaten-path exploration, or a delightful food and wine tour, I craft experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Being a true "foodie," I love discovering authentic restaurants where you can savor traditional Italian flavors. I love working with independent travelers, building a friendly and informal connection with my guests. Flexibility is key, I enjoy adapting itineraries to match their interests, sometimes uncovering secret gardens or hidden gems along the way. In the end, every tour becomes a unique and personalized experience, shaped by the mood and passions of my guests.

Daniela was great, highly recommend and would use again if in Venice. We had a multigenerational group with grandparents and two children aged 6 and 10 and she kept very interesting for everyone. She made tour of Dodge Palace, which could have easily been boring for kids, into a great experience for them and does very well with children. Very good knowledge of Venice and history and she is a local.
Daniela was absolutely outstanding and one of the best tour guides we've ever had. She made our day exploring Venice and the neighboring islands both enjoyable and unforgettable. Her knowledge of the history, culture, and local traditions was incredible, but what really set her apart was how engaging and personable she was throughout the tour. She tailored the experience to our family's interests, answered every question with enthusiasm, and shared fascinating stories and local insights that we never would have discovered on our own. She kept everything organized while making the day feel relaxed and fun. If you're considering a private tour of Venice, Murano, Burano, or the surrounding islands, don't hesitate to book Daniela. She is professional, friendly, passionate about her city, and genuinely cares about giving her guests an exceptional experience. Thanks to her, our visit to Venice became one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. We would recommend Daniela without hesitation and would gladly book another tour with her the next time we're in Venice. Thank you for an amazing day!
