About Tour Guide Elena S.

Hello there :) My name is Elena and I am deeply in love with Venice. I was born and raised in the countryside nearby Milan but I consider Venice as my true home. I love its people, its beauty and its romantic atmoshere. I came here to study 13 years ago and I immediately fell in love with this amazing city. That is the reason way I chose to stay permanently. I built my life here and honestly would't wanna live anywhere else!
