Local tour guide on Burano; think her name is Silvia Zanella

It's been years, maybe since about 2018, but my friends and I had a great private tour of Burano with a young woman who lived on the island. I'm trying to find her again for another tour with my family. On Trip Advisor I found a link with her name for Discover Burano Tours, but I've gotten no response from them. This is a long shot, but does anyone recognize her name and have any contact info for her? Thanks for any help.

Yes, that's right, Silvia Zanella! She took me on her "Secret Corners of Burano" and "Treasures of Torchello" tours a couple of years ago- both excellent! So you tried her website? It looks active and there's an email address. Maybe try that? [email protected]

I do hope she's still leading tours. My time with her was one of the highlights of my time in Venice!

Sara, thank you! Her website is not the one I tried.

Fingers crossed, Sara. I just tried to book on her website and the link didn't work. Sent message to [email protected] but I'm pretty sure that's the same link I tried earlier.

Oh darn, Ruth! I just clicked on a few of the "book" buttons too and none worked. I hope the email option works. Good luck!

Ruth, that's wonderful!
Did she say why the links at the website are not working?
