About Tour Guide Tullia G.

My name is Tullia, I was born in Veneto and my roots are firmly planted here. I love the territory where I live, from the Venice Lagoon to the cities of art, from medieval villages to the peaks of the Dolomites. In Venice, different cultures from the Mediterranean basin, Asian lands, and far-off lands of the East come together. And like Venice, which has traveled for more than a millennia, discovering different worlds, so am I: I love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, and I love traveling… walking at a slow pace. This is why from my philosophy of life, I have created a profession, with the goal of allowing my guests to embrace all the atmospheres, art, architecture, history, culture, and cuisine of the Veneto territory.

“Wonderful tour of Padua”

My husband and I loved our 3 tour of Padova with Tullia. Tullia is extremely knowledgeable about art history, and the general history and culture of Padua, and she truly enriched our visit. I wasn’t able to walk the whole planned route and she modified our tour with absolute ease. Tullia was also cheerful and a delight to be with. We’d recommend a tour with her to anyone. Grazie mille Tullia!

Tullia G.

Thank you Marina and Lillo for your words. it was a pleasure to have you in Padua as my guests. Every guest brings a unique perspective, and meeting wonderful people like you enriches me as well. Thank you again, and I hope our paths cross again someday!
