I am Tour Guide
Hi, I’m Victoria! I was born in one of the world’s most beautiful cities and eventually found my way to magical Venice, where I became a licensed tourist guide. I truly love what I do—meeting people from around the world, sharing the hidden corners of Venice, and bringing its history, art, and daily life to life through storytelling. I’ve traveled through Asia, America, and across Europe, and my background as a philologist means I have a deep love for literature, especially Russian and Italian classics. I even gave lectures in Zurich! With plenty of free time and a passion for culture, I’m always excited to show you around and help you see Venice through a local’s eyes.

My reviews
-
It was an excellent tour, from the quieter north side to the bustling San Marco. Victoria’s knowledge of the city is excellent, from its fascinating history to arts, architecture, theatre to where movies were filmed. A great tour which enhanced our Venice experience. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
