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

Do you think that visiting a city is difficult with kids? Not, if you have the right guide! ;-) There are a lot of things to do with children in Venice and, of course, any museum, walk, activity can be adapt to capture their attention. An example? Let's start from Saint Mark's Square, where wonderful stories can be told your children starting from the fancy animals and characters displayed on the buildings all around: winged lions, griffons, bronze horses; people doing strange activity, wearing unusual clothes or holding particular tools. And - what to say about the pigeons? Then, we will go to the market, full of fish, fruit, vegetables, colours and people, to see the real Venetian life. Or to Murano, to create a beautiful glass pendant. It is easier to appreciate what surrounds us, if we are tasting the best gelato in town, and it is so relaxing to understand how this city was built on the water seeing it from a beautiful private boat exploring the inner canals. Do you agree, don't you?

Your Venice tour itinerary

Starting from your hotel, we will explore the Saint Mark's Square together. Then, walking through some of the less beaten paths of Venice, we will go to Rialto, to see one of the most famous bridge in the World and the beautiful, lively market that lies along the Grand Canal. After having tasted a good gelato, we will walk around, or spend an hour on a private taxi boat, to see the Grand Canal and some of the inner other canals of the city If you like the idea of your kids doing a beautiful glass pendant in Murano, send me an inquiry: I will change our itinerary and will organise the workshop for you. IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PEOPLE TRAVELLING ON A CRUISE If you will be in Venice staying on a cruise ship or just in transit, unfortunately 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 your arrival, making impossibile to agree a precise schedule.
