Our Mission – Stress-Free, Tailored Experiences

Venice is a city like no other, but its unique logistical challenges can make traveling complicated. Our mission is to provide a completely stress-free, premium experience tailored to your needs. We do not offer shared services: everything we provide is just wholly private, allowing you to enjoy Venice at your own pace, on your own terms, on your own interests, together with a dedicated licensed expert at your side.

We believe that Venice should be experienced beyond the crowded tourist routes. That’s why we create exclusive, off-the-beaten-path itineraries, so our guests can discover the authentic Venice, the one which locals love.

From seamless planning to unforgettable experiences, we handle every detail, so you can relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of Venice and its surroundings.
 

Meet Igor Scomparin – Your Licensed Local Guide & Travel Expert in Venice

Ciao! I’m Igor Scomparin (pronounced ee-gor, in case you were wondering!), and while my name might not sound traditionally Italian, I am 100% Italian, precisely born and raised in the heart of Veneto, between Treviso and Venice.

A Lifelong Passion for Travel & Venice

My love for travel and hospitality runs deep. I studied at a specialized tourism school in Italy, where I immersed myself in the art of creating extraordinary travel experiences. Since then, I’ve dedicated my entire career to help travelers discover the beauty of Venice and beyond.

From my early days working in luxury hotels near Venice (and later in London) to leading tours across Europe with Globus family of brands, I’ve had the privilege of exploring the world and understanding what makes a journey truly unforgettable. I’ve guided travelers through Portugal, Russia, the North Cape, Greece, and beyond, but no place has ever captured my heart like Venice.

A Fully Licensed Venice Guide & Travel Expert

In 2007, I returned home to Venice and earned my official Tour Guide License for Veneto Region, which is a mandatory certification in Italy for professional guides. Unlike many unlicensed guides you may come across, I am a fully certified Venice Local Guide, ensuring expertise, authenticity, and professionalism in every tour.

Beyond guiding, I hold multiple official tourism certifications, including:
✅ Licensed Tour Leader (Accompagnatore Turistico)
✅ Certified Travel Agency Technical Director
✅ Italian & European Tour Guide & Tour Leader Licenses

These qualifications allow me to provide seamless, stress-free and deeply enriching travel experiences, whether you’re looking for an intimate walking tour, a customized itinerary or a fully escorted journey with exclusive access and VIP services.

A Fully Licensed Venice Travel Agency – Since 2018

In 2018, I took my passion for Venice to the next level by founding a fully licensed inbound travel agency, based in the heart of Venice. We specialize in exclusive, tailor-made travel experiences, offering everything from private guided tours to luxury travel arrangements.

Let’s Create Your Perfect Venetian Experience

Whether you dream of strolling through hidden alleys, gliding through the canals on a private boat, exploring artisan workshops, or indulging in Venice’s finest food and wine, I’m here to make it happen, with zero stress, all exclusivity, and a deep local touch.

📩 Have questions? Not sure where to start? Let’s chat! I’ll provide you with insider tips, personalized recommendations, and expert planning to make your Venetian adventure truly unforgettable.

💡 Fun Fact: Since 2008, I’ve been featured in Rick Steves’ travel guides to Venice, Italy and Europe—so I must be doing something right! 😉
