Hello everyone! My name is Roberto and I am ready to be your host and help 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 became a licensed tour leader and environmental guide. I will certainly be able to share with you how we live in Venice now compared to live in Venice some years ago if you are interested! And 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. My family was a well known noble family in Venice that also gave Venice a doge...and who was the doge? Eh I cannot tell you everything now! Book a call with me to discover more!
