Scrovegni chapel and Padua highlights
You will probably want to visit the Scrovegni chapel because its on your wishlist since you traveled to the Venice area. The chapel is Giotto's supreme masterpiece and a work that launches the beginning of Italian modern painting.You will meet Giotto and his friends; you might come across Galileo at the market, one of the oldest in the world, or meet him at the university; Elena, the most famous and first female student in the world. And of course you will meet St. Anthony.
First visit of Venice
This tour let you to approach Venice as visitors used to do in the past time. We will walk and enjoy the city from Grand Canal and then we will walk through some of the famous or "out of the beaten path" sites of this unique city.
Highlights walking tour of Verona
Love? Sure, you will learn the "legend", yes, Romeo and Juliet. Blood stories, war, dark ages or Roma Empire? You will get them at Piazza dei Signori where the lords of this magnificent city lived or at the Arena, the roman colosseum which at the same time is the most important and famous opera house in the world.
Highlights of Vicenza: the city of Palladio
Walking through silent alleys and sudden, enchanting views will lead us to discover the solemn Palladian Basilica, and - the most beautiful of Palladian dreams - the Olympic Theater. You will understand why without Palladio's work the history of architecture would not be the same and extraordinary constructions such as the White House, and Plantation Manor Houses in Georgia would never have been built.

I was born and raised in the northern "Sestiere" (district) of Venice: Cannaregio. Since I was a child I've always been curious about different countries and cultures and I enjoyed studying foreign languages, that's why I chose to study at the Touristy High School of Venice and after graduating I decided to study Economics of Tourism and Arts at the University of Venice - Ca' Foscari. Meanwhile I had some chances to travel as well, I visited most of the European countries, spending some weeks in the Uk, France and Spain to study, but I also had the chance to travel to Russia thanks to my University and to the United States. But the love for my city, Venice, has never decreased during the years and this is why I have decided to become a tour guide.

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!

After my degree at the University of Venice, I obtained my diploma of Sommelier. As licensed tour leader and certified Sommelier, I organize wine experiences in my beloved Venice, to see the city from a different perspective, a very delicious perspective! I can organize wine tastings or walking tours with food and wine tastings and I am very open to customize different experiences. I am also available for full day trips to Prosecco hills to taste great sparkling Proseccos, or Valpolicella area where the full bodied Amarone is produced. My family roots are my inspirations, my Passion for wine is my calling!
