I was rewarded by the City of Venice and its ancient cultural association "St. Mark's knights" for "Informative Merits of the Venetian culture" in December 2014. I have two degrees in History and Art History.
I am a licensed and passionate Tour Leader of this one and only lagoon, Venice ( Italy), the city I love! I have been leading tours for years and my love for it remains strong. I still have to share so much with my guests: experiences of my life, my passion for history and art, the real love for my country.
That's why my tours are always private, personalized, engaging and fun! I'm a local expert who wants you to experience Venice and its beauty in the most unique and unforgettable way ever.

Best friend of every Venetians since 1905 when was Starting its unbeatable service!
At First we will visit Torcello, 14 century ago was the First Venice community. Today the last 9 locals are still living inside a "dark ages city" where everything is like a lot of centuries ago..
From the top of their Romanic Bell Tower you will enjoy a stunning view of the islands, surrounding Lagoon and the City of Venice!
