About

Ciao! I'm Isabella. Welcome to my GoWithGuide page!

I was born in the old town of Padua in 1965 but I've lived in Venice for over 30 years. I moved here to attend college and then settled down.

After graduation in Anglo American literature I did different jobs: at the Biennale del Cinema (Venice Movie Festival), in museums, and for a few years I tought, too. In 1998 I approached tourism and got the license to work as tourist assistant. A few years later I became a guide.

I love food and cooking is my great passion, that's why I do enogastronomic tours, too.

After many years of touring I'm still emotional about my town. I'm very happy when I see people enjoying the time together and being enchanted by Venice never ending beauty!

Looking forward meeting you here!

“ Introduction to Venice ”

We had a wonderful three hour walk through Venice with Isabella. She gave an excellent overview of the history of the city. Her introduction was filled with endless and wonderful stories regarding the food, the history, the culture, the architecture, the politics, and the joys and difficulties of living in perhaps the most beautiful city ever built. She personalized our tour including a few specific and very personal interests. She introduced us to wonderful Venetian products with which we were not familiar, and pointed out several museums which we were not to miss. Overall, our visit was tremendously enhanced by this tour. Her English was wonderful. We enjoyed the time we spent with her, and when we return to northern Italy will likely ask her for future guidance. I honestly think she provided the best private tour I have ever experienced.
