We are licensed Italian freelance tour guides with a background of art history and tourism studies. We’re not originally from here but we came to study in Venice and we all fell in love with this incredible city, so we decided to settle in here. We have different interests but we all share our greatest passion of all which is Venice itself and we would love to share this with you on our tours. Living here for a long time allowed us to know Venice under many different aspects, that represent the real soul of our city, clearly famous for its beauty with its stunning churches, the impressive buildings, the crazy beautiful glimpses that make it a permanent movie set, but we like to tell you something more about the local culture. We want to let you feel and behave like a Venetian, a real local, making you life easier even i you are going to stay here just few days in order to let you save as more money and time as possible.

The guide Alice was top she really took me in her tour of Venice. It was educational with alternation between places for tourists and the small streets. she spoke smoothly and also interacted with the group top experience in Venice.
Alice welcomed us immediately in a very cool way. She gave us a lot of interesting information that she conveyed in a fun and funny way. On Saint Mark's Square she managed to give us a lot of information in a nice way despite all the noise. If you are looking for a guide to discover Venice I definitely recommend Alice.
Touring around Venice with Alice was an amazing experience. She took around the city , teaching the history and how the city was built. she then recommended the best places to eat and which neighboring to shop from. Thank you Alice for the wonderful tour.
The guide Alice really took me in her love for Venice. The welcome was warm and she immediately made me feel good. She gave us a lot of explanations about the city and took us into her story. She told very smoothly and also very clearly. What was also a plus is that she kept asking if we understood everything. Alice has taken us to different places that have pleasantly surprised me. It was pleasant to listen to and it wasn't too long-winded either. Alice was very spontaneous and herself which made it even more fun to discover Venice. It was a very pleasant tour. I definitely recommend it if you really want to know the story behind beautiful Venice then Alice is the perfect guide for you.
The tour was very educational with a lot of variety between the tourist spots and the small streets. Our guide Alice was very smooth and also interacted with the whole group. The lesson that was always given was very clear and smoothly told.
Very sweet guide who brought everything up in a fun and interesting way. On Saint Mark's Square it was very busy but she still managed to say everything in a good way. I definitely recommend it.
Have done both the North and South Tours. It was super exciting and you saw corners that you wouldn't always find otherwise. 100% recommendation! Lots of facts but also brought across with a lot of charm and little jokes.
Anachiara is an art history major. She knew everything and more and made everyone as enthusiastic as she is about the hidden places and interesting things in Dorsoduro. For those looking for something that's a little bit more off the beaten path this is a must for Venice!
Do not miss this experience, a team of passionate and competent young Tour Guides, a discovery of Venice that you never expected to see, useful tips on how to move, what to eat, what to buy, but above all how to fully experience one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Italy is slowly waking up from a long and painful sleep, it's time to return to live it fully, even rediscovering it in one of its wonders; Venice.
I work very often in Venice and I deal with events and organized tourism. I wanted to try a different experience and that could show me another Venice, unusual and different from the various tours made with tourist groups and so Federico was recommended by a mutual friend. I have to say that the experience was seriously unusual, a really interesting tour and above all to see that a person has such a passion for his work, made me savour this visit even more. I highly recommend it to everyone!
