«Daniela is an excellent guide, extremely knowlegeable concerning Venetian history and culture. She gave us a 4 hour walking tour of Venice, including the St. Mark’s basilica. She answered all of our questions. We gained an appreciation of the City of Venice. If I could give her 6 stars, I would.»

Dan EdenOctober 2026 · Google

«Daniela is an incredible guide, very knowledgeable about the history and the neighborhoods of Venice. She kept us entertained and charmed, was always patient- even when interrupted by random questions from random other tourists. We highly recommend her as an expert guide.»

Pamela DixonOctober 2026 · Google

«We had a wonderful and positive experience touring the St. Peter’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace with Daniela! She gave us the historical context and background information related to these sites and Venice in general, so that we walked away with a more in-depth understanding of this unique and very interesting city that is rich in history. Daniela was very patient and understanding when we arrived late at our accommodation where she met us (due to train delay, getting lost trying to find our accommodation, etc). It was a real pleasure getting to know Venice from Daniela, and we highly recommend her private tours!!! Much love from us in Toronto and Vancouver, Daniela!»

«Ho visitato la mostra "La fabbrica del Rinascimento" a Vicenza con Daniela ed è stata una bellissima esperienza: lei è molto competente, interessante e mai banale, con quel pizzico di digressioni che arricchiscono la spiegazione collegandola ad altre vicende e situazioni storico-artistiche. Con lei la mostra ha rappresentato la mia città in uno dei periodi di maggior splendore e vivacità che abbia mai vissuto. La consiglio assolutamente.»

Translation: I visited the exhibition "La fabbrica del Rinascimento" in Vicenza with Daniela and it was a wonderful experience: she is very knowledgeable, interesting and never banal, with that touch of digressions that enrich the explanation by linking it to other historical and artistic events. With her, the exhibition showed my city in one of the most splendid and lively periods it has ever known. I definitely recommend her.

«La visita a una mostra imperdibile (la Fabbrica del Rinascimento) si è trasformata in un viaggio bellissimo nel passato della città in cui vivo e che, grazie a Daniela, ora conosco meglio. Devo dire la verità, non sono una grande appassionata di mostre ma, sotto la sua guida, non ho staccato gli occhi un attimo e il tempo è volato. Grazie per la competenza e l’entusiasmo che ci hai trasmesso.»

Translation: The visit to an unmissable exhibition (la Fabbrica del Rinascimento) became a wonderful journey into the past of the city where I live, which I now know better thanks to Daniela.
