Ciao! Looking for a local guide on Lake Maggiore? Look no further! I've lived on Lake Maggiore for over 20 years and am proud to call it home. I'm Canadian/British/Italian, and after living and guiding in many countries, I chose the most beautiful place of all to live in. I would love to show it to you! Whether it's the world famous Borromean Islands, one of the lakeside towns or something off the beaten track, there are so many wonderful things to discover here. With my multicultural background, I can offer great insights into the local way of life. Hope to see you soon! A presto!

I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. She was so knowledgeable...

Carolyn came to the rescue last minute for us! She was an absolutely fantastic guide, very informed on Orta and the region, but also so efficient in arranging things on the spot: a private boat tour, a taxi to get to the car park for a member of our group that had mobility issues and recommending the best spot to eat. She was so thorough, knowledgeable and pleasant to be...

Carolyn was fantastic! Book early so you can get on her calendar. We visited all three islands which I think is a must. Thanks again Carolyn for a wonderful tour.
