What To Expect

Laguna di Venezia

We will jump over centuries to understand how the lagoon have been shaped by the Republic of Venice to its own purposes and survival, creating herculean barriers from the sea, deviating rivers while keeping a delicate balance between human intervention and natural events.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Venice

Discover how the Venetian lagoon is connected with the Adriatic Sea through three port inlets, allowing the exchange of waters to enter and exit from the Adriatic Sea at the rhythm of the tides.
This cyclical movement performs an indispensable function for the balance of its ecosystem: high tide becomes a problem for Venice only when it exceeds the level of 80 cm, the limit beyond we can speak of "Acqua Alta" ("High water")

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

City of Venice

Understand the complicated mix of phenomena causing Acqua Alta and why some are predictable and others much less. You will discover why rain has nothing do to with it and how lunar phases and astronomical tides, strong winds low pressure plays a much bigger role.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

You will get explained how is possible that with 80 cm tides your feet keep dry and why a tide of 140cm is impacting the city so hardly.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Lido di Venezia

Venice experienced a similar situation on the evening in 2019, making clear that natural events are more and more linked with global climate changes and over tourism exploiting the city. We will understand more about what happened visiting some places heavily impacted back on those days.

15 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Campo Santa Maria Formosa

Venice experienced a dramatic situation also at the end of 2019, making clear that natural events are more and more linked with global climate changes and over tourism exploiting the city. We will understand more about what happened visiting some places heavily impacted back on those days.

Private tour of Venise, far away from the crowd

Ga_bruxelles, 15-12-2022

Very nice moment spent on Dec 10th with Valerio. We enjoyed it very much. Valerio designed this tour for us, including authentic areas, interesting explanations, confidential churches and monuments, far away from the crowd. Exactly what we wanted to do. Many thanks for the list of restaurants, chocolate stores, café, gelato..

Incredbile, insightful... Memories made!!

Valerio is an excellent, insightful and charming guide! We spent three hours with him exploring Venice like a local. He knows his way around the little alleys and offers us an experience like a local. He was outstanding with our 8-year-old son, involving him all the time and giving him a live long memory. If you want to visit the usual touristy places, a guide is not needed. Converter if you want to see everything else.and learn about the history and uniqueness of Venice in a casual walk, Valerio is your man! We will defiantly come back to spend more time with him!

A Venice Must!

gregport85, 26-09-2022

The walking tour we did with Valerio was the absolute highlight of our time in Venice. He is the friendliest, most interesting guide and showed us more than we ever expected to see in just two hours, all the while really giving us the locals experience. This is the walking tour we will measure all future tours by!

“ Off The Beaten track” Private Tour of Venice

Spirited, 27-06-2022

Visited Venice for the first time with a friend for a much delayed birthday celebration. I arranged a private tour with Valerio on our first day to firstly see some sights off the beaten track which I love but also to get some recommendations for good restaurants etc. He was able to personalise a 2 hour tour for us and was flexible about changing this on the day when we threw other suggestions at him. He has a great deal of knowledge about the history of Venice but is fun and engaging. I think he would be good with kids too. All his recommendations for restaurants / cafes were great and not excessively touristy. I would definitely join him on another tour when I return to Venice.

The perfect Host for Venice!

Semiplume, 18-04-2022

Valerio is really great in what he's doing; it was a real pleasure being shown around by him. There wasn't a single question he couldn't answer (we tried hard!), and he mastered the almost impossible task of getting our 9 year old nephew interested in history!
