My name is Raghda. I have been working as a local Guide in Venice for almost 2 years, taking clients on walking tours on the historic island. I am passionate about meeting people from all around the world and exchanging stories and experiences. I have lived in Venice since 2020 so I have built up quite a decent knowledge about the city and its sights. In the beginning, I was showing around friends and family who came to visit, then I realized that I have gained pretty decent information to start doing this as a job because it has become exciting to rediscover sights and even build up more knowledge as time goes by. I enjoy interacting with different cultures and nationalities. I have lived and worked in several countries like Latvia, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Germany, Malta, and different cities in Italy as well. I will be taking you around the various districts of Venice exploring hidden gems and mysterious locations, as well as the main attractions and highlights of the city. I will be your GPS & storyteller for the unforgettable hours of concise yet enriched and detailed visit to the historical island. We will go around various districts of Venice and tell stories about churches and historical sites. By the end of the tour, I could suggest good restaurants in various districts.

Sabrina S.
Hi, I’m Sabrina and I have been a tour guide for over 20 years now. Sharing my knowledge of Venice has been my dream since I can recall and it’s the profession I would still choose today. It gives me freedom and the chance of meeting people from other cultural backgrounds with whom I can share values and a good laugh. I’m Italian but I’ve lived abroad for several years in America, Germany and Japan and when I offer tours I try to put myself on the shoes of the visitors to get a fresh, entertaining and authentic understanding of the city!

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.

“David enhanced My Trip”
David enhanced my trip because not only did he have extensive knowledge about Venice, he was also enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. He was also highly responsive to my needs, and did his best to accommodate me. David has an engaging personality, and is one of the most warm and caring people I have ever met. I had a wonderful time in Venice because of David.

“Unforgettable James Bond Experience in Venice”
We booked the James Bond Moonraker tour in Venice with Al, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. From the very first moment, Al’s enthusiasm, deep knowledge of both Bond films and Venetian history, and his engaging storytelling made the tour unforgettable. He brought the movie scenes to life right in front of us, pointing out filming locations, sharing fascinating behind-the-scenes facts, and weaving them together with anecdotes about the city’s culture and architecture. Al was patient and adapted the pace perfectly for us. His passion for the subject is contagious, and his friendly personality made it feel more like being shown around by an old friend than by a guide. If you’re a Bond fan—or simply want to see Venice from a unique and exciting perspective—this tour with Al is an absolute must. Highly recommended!
