Cristina Gregorin - Venice Guide

Cristina Gregorin
Author and Guide-Lecturer

I’m a Venice tour guide who’s been living in the city for over thirty years – and yet, I keep discovering it every day.
Since 1991 I've been working as a licensed guide, with a background in literature and a doctoral degree focused on Venice as a place of memory. For decades, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and sharing the city’s history, art, and traditions with my guests - sometimes with a touch of irony.

Over the years, I’ve written about many facets of Venice: its art and artisans, its secret gardens, its religious history.
Telling stories has become second nature to me and led me to publish a historical novel, which is set in Trieste, my birthplace.

My tours are crafted for those who seek a deeper, more thoughtful experience of Venice and a slower, more intimate way of connecting with the city’s layers: past, present, and future. Whether we’re standing before a Titian altarpiece, discussing a hidden architectural detail, or exploring contemporary art at the Biennale or the Guggenheim, I aim to bring clarity and context.

If you'd like to discover Venice with someone who has spent a lifetime exploring it, I'd be glad to guide you.

I also invite you to visit my blog, where I share reflections, insights, and lesser-known tales about this remarkable city.
