Qualification

License and entry in the National Register of Tourist Guides

Daniela Zarpellon is entered in the Elenco nazionale delle guide turistiche (National Register of Tourist Guides), established at the Italian Ministry of Tourism by Law no. 190 of December 13, 2023, under number 05000058.

Her registration can be checked on the Ministry of Tourism's National Platform for Tourist Guides, which gives access to the National Register, and through the QR code on her identification badge, which the guide displays while working, as required by Article 11 of the same law. More about her background is on the page about Daniela.

As required by Article 11 of Law 190/2023, before any booking is confirmed you receive clear and transparent information about the cost of the service in a free, no-obligation written quote: the method is explained on the how tailor-made tours and quotes work page and in the terms of the guiding service.

Purpose of the website

What this website is for

The website presents Daniela Zarpellon's professional work as a tourist guide: private tailor-made tours in Venice and its lagoon, family tours, the Venice Stay Design pre-trip planning service and day trips from Venice in the Veneto. It allows you to ask for information and quotes. It is not an online shop: prices are not published, no payments are made on the website, and a tour is confirmed only after you have received and accepted a written quote, usually sent within 24 hours of your request.

VeniceAround offers its own guiding and planning services only. It does not sell package holidays, transport, accommodation or tickets: admission tickets, private boats and water taxis (booked only with licensed operators) and cars with driver for day trips are third-party services, paid directly by you or shown separately in the quote. Daniela does not drive.

Copyright

Intellectual property in the content

The texts on the website, their structure and the selection of itineraries are the work of VeniceAround by Daniela Zarpellon and are protected by Italian copyright law (L. 633/1941). You may quote short extracts, stating the source and linking to the page; any other use, including full reproduction or commercial use, requires written permission.

The photographs come from Daniela's own archive or from Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia Commons photographs are used under their respective licenses, with the author, license and a link to the source given on the photo credits page; anyone reusing them must comply with the same licenses. Photographs from Daniela's archive may not be reused without permission.

Links

Links to external websites

The website contains links to third-party websites, such as Google Maps, WhatsApp, ToursByLocals, YouTube and Vimeo, the official websites of museums and public bodies, and the sister site GiraVicenza.it. These links open only when you click on them. VeniceAround does not control these websites and is not responsible for their content, availability or the way they handle data: please read their terms and policies. How external links and videos work in relation to cookies is explained in the cookie policy.

Accuracy

Opening times, access and information about places

The historical and artistic information is prepared with care and reviewed periodically. However, opening times, opening days, ticket prices, access rules, restoration work and public transport by water depend on the organizations that manage them and may change without notice; in Venice, conditions such as acqua alta (high water) may also affect routes on the day.

For this reason the website does not give exact opening times: openings should always be checked at the time of your inquiry, and Daniela checks them when preparing the quote. VeniceAround is not responsible for closures or changes decided by the managers of the sites or by transport operators; what happens in such cases during a booked tour is described in the terms of the guiding service. Practical advice is collected in the Venice travel tips.

Limits

Use of the website and limitation of liability

We do our best to keep the website available, accurate and free of errors, but we cannot guarantee that it will be so at all times. The content of the website is for information only and does not constitute a contractual offer: the terms of the tour are those of the accepted quote. This is without prejudice to the rights granted to consumers by law and to any liability that cannot be excluded.

If you spot a mistake or out-of-date information, please write to us and we will correct it. For accessibility problems with the website, see the website and tour accessibility page; for complaints about the service, see the complaints procedure.

«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.»
