We’re genuinely happy, honored, and a little bit emotional to share this: we were interviewed by The Guardian for a feature dedicated to Venice and the unexpected ways visitors experience the city today.
The article was written by Angela Giuffrida, with beautiful photographs by Marta Clinco, and it tells a story that feels very close to our everyday work — guiding curious travelers through Venice with honesty, context, and a lot of passion.
A Recognition That Means a Lot to Us
Being featured in The Guardian is not just media exposure. For us, it’s a recognition of the way we approach Venice:
slowly, thoughtfully, and always from a local point of view.
The article highlights how visitors are increasingly curious about places connected to the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez — from quiet islands to historic palazzi, from luxury hotels to the now-famous wooden jetty near the Gritti Palace.
What made us especially happy is that the focus wasn’t on glamour alone, but on curiosity, storytelling, and real Venice.
Why This Makes Us So Happy
We’re thrilled because the article perfectly reflects what we believe in:
-
Showing Venice beyond clichés
-
Explaining places, not just pointing at them
-
Turning global headlines into meaningful local stories
-
Helping visitors understand how Venice actually works and lives
Seeing this approach recognized by an international newspaper we deeply respect is incredibly rewarding.
Venice, Shared the Way We Love It
Every day, we walk these streets and canals with guests who want more than a checklist. They want to understand why a simple jetty can become famous, why certain islands matter, and how Venice balances daily life with global attention.
This interview reminded us how powerful that kind of storytelling can be — and how lucky we are to do this work in a city that never stops surprising, even us.
Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to The Guardian, to Angela Giuffrida, and to Marta Clinco for telling this story with sensitivity and depth.
And thank you to all our guests who choose to explore Venice with curiosity, respect, and open eyes.
Moments like this make us proud, motivated, and truly happy to keep sharing our Venice with the world.
