Ciao! I'm Isabella. Welcome to my GoWithGuide page! I was born in the old town of Padua in 1965 but I've lived in Venice for over 30 years. I moved here to attend college and then settled down. After graduation in Anglo American literature I did different jobs: at the Biennale del Cinema (Venice Movie Festival), in museums, and for a few years I tought, too. In 1998 I approached tourism and got the license to work as tourist assistant. A few years later I became a guide. I love food and cooking is my great passion, that's why I do enogastronomic tours, too. After many years of touring I'm still emotional about my town. I'm very happy when I see people enjoying the time together and being enchanted by Venice never ending beauty! Looking forward meeting you here!

Hello everyone! My name is Roberto and I am ready to be your host and go with you to discover the very true side of Venice. I was born, raised up and living in Venice since 1957.... I have been knowing and loving Venice for more than half a century now. After being a concierge in the most famous hotels in Venice, I went for a change and took my licenses for both tour leader and environmental guide. I will certainly be able to show you how we live in Venice now and how we used to live in Venice some years ago...well, yes, I am old enough to do it! I am a true Venetian and I have a sort of warranty certificate for this... I mean for being a true Venetian. Because the family was a well known noble family in Venice that also gave Venice a doge...and who was the doge? Ehiiiiiii I cannot tell you everything now! Book a tour with me and you’ll discover!

Giulia L.

My name is Julia and I am a licensed guide's assistant (accompagnatore turistico). Not being a native venetian, I moved to this city six years ago for the deepest admiration of its glorious story, unique architecture style and the breathtaking beauty. Living and working in Venice was my dream and I'm happy that I've managed to make it come true. Since '17 I'd worked as a travel & marketing interpreter and I got a guide's assistant license in 2023. Having two master's degrees, in Intercultural Communication and in Linguistics, I nevertheless continue to be engaged in my education. I try to meet the needs of guests, most of whom come for a short stay and often get perplexed which activity to choose, the choice is really huge. So I offer city tours & excursions either walking or in a boat, which I call “All inclusive”, in the meaning that my guests will see the maximum of the city in half-day or in a full-day term. This may be a good choice for those who come to Venice for the 1st time. My another passion is enogastronomy, I'm a real foody and I keep constantly updated about the best places in the city. I hope to share my experience with you and to welcome you in Venice!

8hour Layover tour

I had a 14 hour layover at Haneda and booked an 8 hour day tour with Grant. He is a fantastic guide, friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. No matter if it’s about Japanese history or a random train passing by, be assured he will be able to provide you with additional information. Grant navigates the public transport system like a pro making sure you won’t waste any of your precious time. He accommodated any wishes I had and basically fully customised the tour to my needs. It was a great day and surely there would be no way for myself to even see and experience half as much on my own, money well spent!

Travel around Tokyo

Yoshi is an amazing guide! We learned a lot from him from taking the confusing subway to the cultural history of Japan. He also made a great recommendation where to buy the best and affordable Wagyu akd oyster. Thank you Yoshi!!!

Yoshi S.

Koya San with Hiro

Hiroyuki was a superb guide! We had already spent 2 weeks in the Kansai region, but our day with Hiro on Mt Koya was certainly one of the highlights, due to the detail of his plans and knowledge. Calm and easy to chat to, Hiro provided us with many insights into Japanese culture, beyond the fascinating insights into Kukai, esoteric Buddhism and Koya San. He patiently answered our many questions and gave us some very useful tips for our trip to Nachi the following day! We had an amazing lunch in a restaurant recommended by him and it was fascinating to learn so much about many varied topics. We will always remember this amazing experience and would highly recommend him as a guide! Thanks again, Hiro!
