With over 30 years of experience as a professional tour guide, I specialize in the beautiful Veneto region, with a deep passion for Venice and its enchanting lagoon, as well as Padua, Vicenza, the Palladian Villas, and the Euganean Hills. I create tailor-made tours for individuals, families, and groups, designing unique itineraries that bring history, art, and culture to life—from classical masterpieces to modern and contemporary works, including visits to noble palaces and their extraordinary museum collections. If you're looking for something beyond the usual tourist paths, I will take you to hidden corners, secret gardens, and lesser-known gems, offering you a more authentic and intimate experience of the region. I am deeply committed to sustainable and responsible tourism, and I love enriching my tours with local food and wine tastings, giving you the chance to truly connect with the flavors and traditions of Veneto. Accessibility is at the heart of my work: I specialize in inclusive tourism and carefully design routes suitable for travelers with disabilities or reduced mobility, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a memorable and engaging experience. Let’s explore Veneto together. Your journey will be as unique as you are. If my calendar seems full, don’t hesitate to contact me anyway. I may still be able to accommodate you. I can organize private transportation by private car and driver or by private boat.
