Overview

This experience is not just a tour — it’s a deep, local dive into the real Venice.
I’m a musician and tour leader, and for years I’ve been guiding small groups through the city I deeply love. With me, you’ll go beyond the tourist routes: we’ll explore quiet canals, hear curious stories and traditions, and enjoy local food like cicchetti and spritz in authentic bàcari.

I combine historical insight with personal anecdotes and secret spots only locals know. My goal is to make you feel the true Venetian soul — not just see it. Whether it’s your first time here or your tenth, you’ll leave with new eyes (and probably a few new favorite places)

Subject to availability | for Making your experience even more special: upon request, you can attend an intimate classical music concert in one of the most beautiful palaces in Venice ✨
