Hi there! Nice to meet you

Adair

Ciao! Adair here 👋 consider me your local Venetian-American! Born in the States, but Italian-American through my Milanese Grandmother, and living in the lagoon of Venice for over a decade!

Originally came here to study Architecture and History of Venice, now married to a Venetian and raising my own miniature Venetian-American daughter! By far the coolest thing I have done is having her❤️ and I have done a lot of cool stuff 😎

Venice is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever lived and I have moved around so much, I lost count. You should not miss out on enjoying her as much as possible!

I’ve experienced Venice as a tourist, student, local, wife, and now a mommy. And each new role has given me a new perspective and love of this island.

I have to say my favorite things about Venice are island hopping on the regular in my pink boat, tasting cicheti & ombra wines, gazing at centuries old Venetian architecture daily, legends of Venetian characters, seeing my daughter flourish in a place that is so welcoming to young kids and seeing familiar faces wherever we go!

My main goal as your licensed tour leader is to make sure you experience Venice much like I have, in an effort to have you fall for her as much as me❤️

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for a personalized experience, I thrive in helping make sure we design something to fit your exact needs and desires! May that be by boat, bike, feet, tastes, sights, history, or just plan fun, I love to make it happen for you, your friends, and family!

With so many food options available in Venice, I wanted to have someone guide me through the street food options. Adair certainly managed that plus more. She weaved snippets of history into our conversations whilst savouring a variety of foods. Adair made navigating the alleyways look easy and we probably needed her the next day when revisiting one of the cafes! Venice can be overwhelming with food options but that can be made easier when in Adair’s capable hands. Thankyou for providing a great memory of this magical city.Flavours of Venice

We toured with Adair as a family of five, including some members with allergies and intolerances. We still had a great time and were able to enjoy ourselves! Adair adjusted our stops and offered substitutes for those who needed them. We would absolutely book with her again!Family-friendly food tour!

Adair was an amazing guide for the craft beer tour. She took my husband, son and let us add the girlfriend at the last minute. She worked with us on starting point so it was easier for us for our next event. She was very thorough in her explanations and stories about Venice with some exciting tidbits too. Her love if Venezia is very apparent! Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a unique adventure od Venezia. Thank you Adair!!Amazing Tour with Adair

Adair provided us with a great introduction to the food and culture of Venice. We enjoyed tastings of traditional Venetian food that we would not have tried otherwise. Introduction to Venice

We booked Adair for a Food and drink Tasting tour in Venice. She was fantastic! We could not have made a better choice. She was warm and friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the food and the culture of the city. We had been to Venice before and wanted to see it from a different perspective. We also got to know a little about her personally which was delightful. We even stopped by her husband’s bar the next evening when we found ourselves wandering through the streets of Venice, looking for a place to eat. Her husband happily referred us to a wonderful local eatery. Obviously, the whole family is lovely. If we come back to Venice, Adair will be our first booking.Adair's Tour is wonderful!

We did a customized 5 hour tour with Adair. She showed us Venice is a way we couldn’t have seen it on our own. She was also amazingly informative as she clearly knows the deep history of the city she calls home. We did Murano (amazing), some walking and some tasting! Highly recommend Adair!!Amazing Time with Adair

We were fortunate to do this tour with Adair. She was amazing and such a delightful person to be with. As only a local can do, we learnt a lot about the history of Venice from a unique perspective. The journey both to and from the islands was filled with interesting information and highlights. On Murano we met with Kiara, who gave us what can only be called an exceptional art experience in the most beautiful galleries of glass ❣️ In Burano we met a lovely 83 year old woman who shared how she still creates by hand the rare lace work and stitching that tragically is a dying art. Highly recommend the tour, and may you be fortunate enough to meet Adair. Perfect Experience

Adair was a fanrtastic support on the day, we had a big issue as our ferry was cancelled so we arrived over an hour late to Venice, on our journey to venice Adair helped replan our afternoon to make sure our children had what they needed and enjoyed their time in Venice. Private taxis (whilst expensive) were defiantly worth it to reduce the stress of getting around on a tight timescale. Adair organised a mask making workshop for our 7 and 4 year olds which was wonderful and exactly what we needed after sitting on a bus for 6 hours! I would highly recommend Adair she made our afternoon special and really easy!Fantastic Support and Great Day Out
