Can you recommend a great local tour guide who can show us Venice?

I originally found them in Rick's book. I was with Elisabetta, and she was great. I'm sure we partner is as well.
Rene could be interesting.

I will check them both out.
In June we used Walks Inside Venice. They have several private tours- we took Unfolding Venice (under Venice for Beginners). You get a discount if you mention Rick Steves from his book.
