Vicenza & Palladian Villas: Day Trip from Venice

Buongiorno! My name is Michela, welcome to my ToursByLocals page! I’m an enthusiastic and passionate tour guide and I work in Venice, Vicenza, Padova and Palladian villas. I was born and raised in Vicenza, a Unesco World Heritage Site, and my love for art probably started there when I was very little. That is why I decided to move to Venice to study Art History at the Ca’ Foscari University and to become a tour guide. I’ve been working as a licensed tour guide for 15 years now, and the experience I gained and the knowledge of my land allow me to offer quality tours, fun and engaging at the same time. Before being a guide I’m a friendly and curious person who likes stories, anecdotes, and legends too. Whenever I can I like going off the beaten path, to discover something unusual. I love to share my passion for Art and for the beauty of the region where I have the chance to live. I can’t help but be amazed every time I walk around Venice, the magnificence of the Renaissance paintings, the hills and the villas in the Land of Venice. My tours are for those arriving in my region for the first time, but also for those who have already been here many times and want to discover something different. I really look forward to get in touch with you and to welcome in the Land of Venice soon!
