Hi to all the tourists out there who are excited to get to know more about my hometown of Venice.

Tour description

Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice! Join my tour if you want to know more about everything this amazing city has to offer. Being a native, I know all about the interesting stories that Venice and its famous streets, canals and buildings have to tell you. I love helping tourists discover the lesser known and more hidden history of Venice. On my tours, I have many fascinating anecdotes that really make the city and its colorful past come to life.
This tour includes, but is not limited to these iconic places:

  • the Jewish ghetto
  • the oldest Jewish ghetto in the world
  • Casino di Venezia, the oldest casino in the world.
  • The Church of the Illuminati,
  • The Rialto fish market,
  • The Rialto Bridge (featured in the 007 film Casino Royale)
  • The site of the old brothels


What are you waiting for!? Book your tour with me and discover a side of the city that many tour guides never give you the chance to see. Find out why so many travelers have given me a 5 star review on TripAdvisor! Thank you so much my friend!

Francesca was hilarious and kept us entertained the entire tour. At hour 2 I thought it had only been an hour. He’s a born and raised Venetian and knew a lot about Venice that I wouldn’t have learned on any other tour.

I think Francesco is the most authentic person I ve met in a long time. He is such a character, it felt truly special going on this 3 hour journey to Venice with him. It made it even more special - above his knowleadge and interesting stories - that on many occasions he engaged in short conversations with locals here and there. I felt part of Venice, I felt like a local in his company. He has an awesome sense of humour and the way he made the tour interactive with his fun questions was also remarkable

Francesco is a really funny and nice guy. He tries to make the tour as interactive as possible and shows you places you would normally not have discovered by yourself. Highly recommend!
