About Tour Guide Giulia L.
My name is Julia and I am a licensed guide's assistant (accompagnatore turistico).
Not being a native venetian, I moved to this city six years ago for the deepest admiration of its glorious story, unique architecture style and the breathtaking beauty. Living and working in Venice was my dream and I'm happy that I've managed to make it come true. Since '17 I'd worked as a travel & marketing interpreter and I got a guide's assistant license in 2023.
Having two master's degrees, in Intercultural Communication and in Linguistics, I nevertheless continue to be engaged in my education.
I try to meet the needs of guests, most of whom come for a short stay and often get perplexed which activity to choose, the choice is really huge. So I offer city tours & excursions either walking or in a boat, which I call “All inclusive”, in the meaning that my guests will see the maximum of the city in half-day or in a full-day term. This may be a good choice for those who come to Venice for the 1st time.
My another passion is enogastronomy, I'm a real foody and I keep constantly updated about the best places in the city.
I hope to share my experience with you and to welcome you in Venice!
