Tour guide in Orta Claudia R.

Welcome! It would be a pleasure for me to accompany you discovering the most amazing highlights in the area of Lake Maggiore and Orta. I has been 25 years now, since I started guiding in Piedmont: I come from Sanremo, Liguria, and I was fascinated by the sub-tropical vegetation here around: everything was so luxuriant and I was impressed by the quantity of parks and gardens, the colourful blooming of Camellias and Azaleas. It was all so new for me! But after many years reading contless botany books it has become a passion! What a pleasure for the eyes and the mind to walk around the magnificent terraced gardens of Isola Bella, or the Botanical Garden of Villa Taranto. I am very proud of my second home. Anywhere there is some water, there is charm: Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta look simply gorgeous: the Borromean Islands, luxury mansions everywhere, little fishermen's villages, mountains surrounding the lakes. What about a cruise in the Borromean Gulf? A private boat trip is always an experience! I like travelling and I have organized most of all my private travels by myself, with the help of local agencies, who know better. I love nature, botany, geology, art, foreign languages, I am still learning new ones. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and I am so pleased when they remain impressed by the richness and beauty of this territory (which happens every time). I'll be glad to customize your tour! See you in Stresa!
