Nice to meet you, my name is Beatrice
I am a licensed tour leader (2015) and tour guide (2018) in the beautiful city of Venice, speaking German, English, French and Italian.
It all started during my university studies (Romance Literature and Linguistic) in Austria when I got the chance to participate in an Erasmus exchange program bringing me for a year to beautiful Angers in France. However, wanderlust got worse and after graduating from University with a master’s degree, I decided to start a new adventure in Canada: With all my belongings on my back, I discovered the Canadian "wideness" and "wilderness" before settling down for work in Montreal.
Back in Europe, I moved to Venice and meditated on how to combine my passions (languages, reading, culture, art) with my career.
The solution? I decided to participate in the governmental exams to become a licensed tour leader and tour guide sharing my love for Venice and its off-the-beaten-track spots with travellers.

My long experience in tour guiding and tour organization showed me the big gap of authenticity and quality between big group tours (more than 20 persons) and private small tour experiences, coming to the conclusion that only private tours permit visitors to discover the city of Venice in a non invasive, authentic way. My vision is to offer more inclusive and private activities, including tailor made experiences, according to the wishes and interests of the clients.
I conduct and organize private tailor made tours since 4 years in Venice, designing the experience especially according to the wishes and interests of my clients: I created treasure hunts for families, tours mixing history and legends, ... with the goal in mind to involve my clients actively in the tour by using for example quizzes and objects. Furthermore I conduct and organize barrierfree citytours in Venice and to the islands giving also visitors with mobility impairments the possibility to enjoy this wonderful city, as Venice is actually largely accessible barrierfree. With my new project "UnfoldTravel" I wish to offer off the beaten track & inclusive city tours that make you fall in love with Venice.
