Riccardo R.
Hi, I'm Riccardo, born in the USA and raised in Italy. I specialize in wine tastings, a passion I've pursued for nearly ten years. As a certified sommelier with the Italian Sommelier Association, I curate wine tastings featuring Prosecco, Amarone Valpolicella and Soave. My tours stand out because they are always private and I exclusively select family-run wineries. We'll never rush. My motto is "Drink well, to live well"

Roberto V.
Hello everyone! My name is Roberto and I am ready to be your host and go with you to discover the very true side of Venice. I was born, raised up and living in Venice since 1957.... I have been knowing and loving Venice for more than half a century now. After being a concierge in the most famous hotels in Venice, I went for a change and took my licenses for both tour leader and environmental guide. I will certainly be able to show you how we live in Venice now and how we used to live in Venice some years ago...well, yes, I am old enough to do it! I am a true Venetian and I have a sort of warranty certificate for this... I mean for being a true Venetian. Because the family was a well known noble family in Venice that also gave Venice a doge...and who was the doge? Ehiiiiiii I cannot tell you everything now! Book a tour with me and you’ll discover!

I was born in Pretoria, South Africa, I had the privilege of growing up in a diplomatic family, which allowed me to travel widely and experience different cultures from an early age.

Guiding visitors here is not just my job – it’s my passion. Venice is my home, and I am deeply connected to its history and its glory. As a historian and author of several guides and articles, I aim to make each tour an enriching experience, blending historical insights with a genuine love for this magnificent city. My mission is to ensure that every visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of Venice’s cultural heritage and a sense of awe at its beauty. Whether you’re exploring the hidden gems of the city or marveling at its iconic landmarks, I’m here to provide you with an unforgettable experience, one that celebrates Venice’s incredible legacy.

I moved to Venice in 1983 to study languages and literature at the Ca' Foscari Venice University and graduated in 1989. My love for Venetian Art and History led me to become a licensed tour guide in 2009. I'm married and have one daughter. I offer private tours through the city for groups and families. It will be a pleasure for me to show you my city, to envolve you with Venetian histories discovering some secret places.

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.

“Great guide, good perspective, very accommodating and mindful of how to get the most of the day”
David had a great perspective on the historical, factual, and political landscape of Venice. He was very accommodating and eager to please. Showed us the sights - toured Torcello, Burano and Murano. His boat wasn’t the newest or the fastest but it got the job done for our group of two and made for a good adventure. We toured for about 6 hours or so and fit a lot into our day. I could have shopped for longer in Murano, but I probably saved myself some money by not staying longer to shop! If you want more than an hour and a half in Murano, book him for more time.
