Intellectual and sophisticated … FitzRoy has a no-nonsense, get-it-done approach and is particularly great for those with kids. FitzRoy's contacts include blue-blooded Venetians who secretly unlock their gardens for parties and their palazzi for rental. She also holds sway at overbooked hotels and with curators who lead custom cultural tours. A bespoke visit to Basilica di San Marco with FitzRoy's best guide, Franca Zanchi, goes further than most private tours, as do more modest stops (out-of-the-way trattorias, tiny bars, a peephole used by Casanova).
