Licensed Tour Guide in Venice
Valerio Coppo
A Venetian at heart, a traveler by spirit.
Born and raised in Venice, I spent many years abroad — studying in Germany, exploring the Silk Road in Central Asia, diving into Berlin’s vibrant cultural life, and working as a corporate manager across Africa and the Middle East. These experiences shaped my open-minded approach and deepened my appreciation for my hometown.
Since 2018, I’ve been back in Venice, dedicating myself to guiding travelers through the city I love. Over the years, I’ve welcomed thousands of visitors and earned more than 1,000 five-star reviews, always with the same goal: to share Venice authentically, sustainably, and with passion.

My Philosophy
I believe in tours that go beyond sightseeing. Every experience is a chance to support local artisans, protect Venice’s fragile heritage, and uncover its hidden layers — from secret gardens to stories of art, literature, and daily life.
Fluent in English, German, Spanish, and Italian, I craft each tour with curiosity, storytelling, and genuine care.
