I am a Tour guide
Hi, I’m Simo - born and raised in Venice, and still in love with its magic. What I enjoy most is sharing the stories, flavours, and secrets that bring this city to life. I know the Cannaregio, San Marco, and Rialto areas like the back of my hand, from the hidden corners to the legendary landmarks. I grew up walking these streets and hearing tales passed down through generations - and I’m always happy to share them. Whether we’re enjoying a quiet evening stroll, hopping on a boat, or tasting something delicious, I’ll help you see Venice through a local’s eyes.
