Buongiorno! My name is Paola, I am a licensed tourist guide for Genova and the surrounding areas. I was born and bred in Genova, but I lived in England for over 10 years and that is where I have learned my English. I also speak Spanish and French. And Italian of course ! I have spent all of my working career in the tourism world, working for a tour operator, for a major airline and as a tour leader in Italy and other parts of the world. When I decided to move back to Genova, my hometown, I fell in love with it all over again. The more I learned about its history and art, the more I liked it. I decided to take the exams to became a professional guide and since I got my qualification in 2006 I have been working as a licensed tourist guide. While studying to became a guide, I developed a great interest in all forms of art, from classic to street art and I know that I am fortunate to live in a country that offers so many art opportunities at almost every corner. I am a passionate Vespa scooter rider and an animal lover, with a soft spot for cats. I am also fond of cooking and food in general. Like most Italians, I have learned from my mum, my unties and my grandmothers, all formidable cooks. I would be more than happy to how you many of the art and architecture wonders of the city but also to share with you some of my favorite places where you can taste the delights of the local cuisine and learn more about the culture of the country. I like to shop local, to support the small shop or market stall, I firmly believe in this and during my tours, while visiting art and monuments, I always make sure that you will meet some of the wonderful people who run these small but vital businesses, food is such a wonderful way to get people together. I can guarantee enjoyment, dedication and cultural enrichment. I am an open and curios persona, I love to talk and share experiences about life in our countries and to offer a friendly and genuine experience. I am looking forward to meeting you! - Licensed Tourist Guide N. 239 issued by Ligurian Region. - As a licensed guide I'm able to guide you inside museums, churches, archaeological areas. - I have a Proficency in English. I am not a driver, but I can arrange transportation with a trusted licensed driver or with a taxi.
