About Venice Art Tours and Howard Fitzpatrick Saluti! Thank you for visiting my website... I offer private 4 hour walking tours for travellers who wish to see the best of Venetian art, history, and architecture. My walking tours are in English. I am an Anglo-American (pictured left) and live in the Dorsoduro area of Venice. The tours I provide are exclusively for you or your small group - no one else is mixed in. My emphasis is on private and personal tours, not groups, and you won't find the tours bland or superficial. Since you will automatically become a member of the Arti Veneziane Cultural Association, you may avail yourself of lectures and events during the year.
I have a B.A.,
an M.A. and an M.B.A. I have lived
in New York, Dublin, and Cambridge (England) before moving to Venice with
my wife, novelist Laurie Graham, ten years ago. Below are descriptions of the tours offered, pricing and practical information. There is an email link below. I look forward to hearing from you.....Howard
The Walking Tour "We all learned a lot and it made the subsequent museum and church visits much more interesting for all of us. The girls remembered much of what you spoke about and were able to use it in our visits to the Vatican and the Uffizi Gallery. You added a lot of value to our visit to Italy and just wanted to say thank you." Eileen Serra, New York
The Renaissance Art Tour
"Many thanks for a wonderful tour of Venice and a chance to see the many splendors of the city under your excellent tutelage. You introduced us to masters of art, previously a blur, and to the wonderful "highlights" of the city. Although the flooding was a nuisance to Venetians, we were delighted to see Venice as it's so often portrayed...under water. Wishing you and yours happiness and health, we send our thanks and best wishes." Barbara and Bill Charlton, Annapolis, MD
