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!

Raghda A.
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!

Massimo T.
My name is Massimo, but everybody knows me as Max. I was born in Gorizia in 1961. 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. If you wish, you can write to me so that I can organise a tour in Venice that is best suited to your wishes and needs.

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.

Venice Tour Reviews

“Great Synthesis of the Doge's Palace and Basilica”
My wife and I used a tour guide for the first time last summer in Florence, and I learned then how beneficial a guide can be. So, for this trip to Venice - my son and I spent some time reading reviews of different guides before booking with Sabrina. She definitely lived up to our expectations. Sabrina was on time, prepared, engaging etc. She led us on a wonderful tour of the Palace and Basilica and helped tie together the importance of what we were seeing (without getting bogged down in the details that would bore our children). She kept them engaged, and really told us a story that brought to life what life must have been like for Doge's up until Napoleon's arrival. When we were finished, I asked our kids what they thought - was it too much information? Too long? They both agreed that it was perfect (and they're 12 and 15). So, she did a great job. As our time ended, she answered our questions about how to join in for Palm Sunday processions, and told us to feel free to contact her with follow-up questions. I would recommend Sabrina to anyone visiting Venice.

Sabrina S.
Hello Brandon, Thank you so much for your kind words and for the truly delightful morning we shared together. Moments like these are what make my work so rewarding. A guide’s commentary can change greatly depending on the audience—and I can honestly say that you and your family brought out the very best in me. Your curiosity, attention, and genuine interest were remarkable and deeply appreciated. I hope you return home carrying not just memories, but also a richer understanding of Venice—its history, its spirit, and its unique culture. Take care, and my very best wishes to you all.

Dear Micheline, Thank you for trusting me with the group. It was fun showing around my fellow Arabs in Venice. They brought me a breath of home and a lot of laughter as well. It was my pleasure showing the group the beauty of Venice. Much Gratitude!

“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.
