Guide #9342
Hi! I am Cristina and I am a full-time licensed tourist guide in Turin, Genoa (2-hour driving distance from Turin) and Portofino (near Genoa) and Langhe (in the province of Cuneo, almost 1h from Turin). I was born in Genoa (in Liguria region where also Portofino is) but my mother is from a small town near Venice, my father from a village near Rome. Ten years ago I moved to Turin for a romantic reason: I got married to a Torinese. So, I can describe myself as a "pizza", full of Italian ingredients offering you the taste of Italy. I have attended the technical institut for tourism in Genoa where I studied English, French and German. I got a degree in Literature specialising Archeology because art and history are my passions since I was a child at school. In 1994, I became a tour guide: I wanted to be the link between Art&History, Food&Wine, local cultures and way of life and the tourist curiosities. I give them the passwords to understand the places they are visiting. Fascinating job, isn't it? I speak fluent English and French that I use not only as tour guide but also as tour leader during my tours abroad. I am so proud to make you feel the atmosphere of Turin and also of. . . . the wine country of Langhe & Roero (Barolo and Barbaresco). . . . and Portofino, the wonderful famous inlet on the sea. Just plan your staying, choose my tours and it will be a real pleasure for me to be your personal key to this part of Italy, from the Alpes to the sea. Do not forget that I can also arrange special tours according to your needs. See you soon. . . . . or, as we say in Turin, "Cerea"! Tourist Guide Licenses issued by the Local Government in Turin Genoa and Cuneo. I am allowed to organize private tours also in museums, art exhibitions and in the Diocesan Museum of Turin (tour guides need to have a special license). Degree in Literature, specialising Archaeology. Refresher courses in Christian Iconography in Turin and in Genoa. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your own car or arrange a private car with driver.

Thank you so much! It was a real pleasure for me sharing my knowledge with you, so nice and so curious persons.
This tour was the absolute highlight of my most recent trip to Europe. I can't recommend Cristina highly enough. She took the time to put together a tour that took my family and I to everything we wanted to see and more. The pace was perfect and included well-timed stops for Gelato, local candy, coffee, etc. She is extremely knowledgeable about art, history and...
