A DOC (born and bred) Venetian, Fiona Giusto graduated with a Degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (German and English) at the University Ca’ Foscari in Venice.

Two decades ago, Fiona started working as a qualified city guide in Venice and the lagoon. In English, German and Italian, she enjoys showing guests the unique sides of Venice, from several perspectives: art and history, architecture and painting — all seen through a lens of Venice’s past and present. Fiona especially loves to introduce guests to local artisans and handicrafts, secret gardens and privately-owned palaces.

Explore the timeless classics: Saint Mark’s church, the Doge’s palace, the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto area and its markets, the Accademia Art Gallery, and so many others. Or, venture with Fiona to explore an old silk weaving company, a traditional gondola yard, an atelier of a Carnival mask maker or of a marbled paper maker.

She is ready to lead you to discover Venice’s hidden gems!
