Hi, I’m Ed or Edo
I’ve lived in Venice for 4 years
I speak English, Italian, Portuguese and some French
I am Gastronomist
I like to call myself a gastronome. I work in the cultural field and my aspiration is to become an authoritative voice in the world of food. I am originally from Turin, I lived in Portugal, Scotland, London but I decided to make Venice and Padua the places to live, fall in love, work and grow. For some months I have a cat that I found on the street and that I love madly!

My reviews

We had a great personalised tour with Edoardo. He is an intelligent and intuitive young man who interpreted our needs very well.

Edoardo was great. Took us to the unseen places of Venice and showed us current art exhibits that will not always be in the city. We toured the well-known parts of Venice, but our guide could show us the parts of Venice we were interested in, such as cafes, shopping, and great views. Grazie Edoardo!!!

My husband uses a motorized wheelchair, and I was having some back issues, causing me to stop and rest frequently. Eduardo was patient and accommodating, and adjusted our itinerary as needed. We were still able to see the sights we wanted and many local areas that we would never have known about. He chose a great lunch site, knew just where to get gelato, helped us get a gondola at the end of our tour, and in general went out of his way to make to make our day special in every way. He exceeded all of our expectations, and we were tired and happy at the end of the day! Thank you!

Had a 4 hr am tour of Venice in late April. Our guide Edoardo was very knowledgeable about the city, and had interesting information about trends, activities and products that would further enhance our experience. In particular, he informed me about spritzes made with the Venetian drink bitter "Select", and I also bought a bottle in Dufrey on the way home.
