Hi, I’m Roberto, and I absolutely love getting lost in Venice’s hidden corners. I’m always excited to show visitors the quieter, lesser-known spots that make Venice so special. Whether it’s a hidden café tucked away on a side street or a peaceful square where you can sit and soak up the atmosphere, Venice has plenty of surprises. I know this city like the back of my hand. From the winding alleys to the picturesque canals, Venice is a place that never gets old. Every neighborhood has its own unique character, and I love exploring them all, one hidden gem at a time. As a Venice guru, I can confidently say there’s nothing about this city that I don’t know. I’m passionate about sharing its secrets, so whether it’s history, art, or just the best places to get lost, I’m here to make your experience unforgettable. Let’s explore Venice together!

My reviews

Roberto showed us so many interesting things about Venice, from big popular sights to tiny details we never would have known about that are unique to Venice. He was very informative and even kept a teenage boy interested for 3 hours. He did not rush though the tour and went at a pace that was perfect for our family. We loved every minute of it!

Never did a tour like this and didn’t know what to expect but was really happy we booked with Roberto. If I could have I would have traversed Venice with Roberto our whole time here. He was informative but it was clear he loves Venice and wants you to see it through a local Venetian eyes. Thank you for the additional advice on where to go off the beaten path.

A personal experience with a person with a direct and personal connection to the place you are visiting is always the best. Roberto was that and more. Helpful, insightful, gracious and flexible. He showed us so many of the out of the say, hidden gems of Venice. It was a side of the city that most tourists never see. Thank you for your insight Roberto
