I have been a professional Tour Guide in the Land of Venice for more than 20 years. As an art historian, I love customizing privately guided tours for travelers who enjoy learning. Join me if you wish to know more about the Palladian Villas and the amazing city of Vicenza, where I live. Though, it’s not just a guide’s knowledge that makes a tour successful: their personality and sensitivity is also essential to fulfil your needs and wants.
Let yourself be guided with a smile.
