Guide #4921
After 25+ years spent with independent, curious travelers I know how to connect deeply and quickly. So let me be your sister in town! I can't wait of taking you to my favorite spots for seeing, eating, drinking and delving into the city soul. I was born and raised in Verona, an adorable, romantic, cozy Italian city and I have seen it changing over time under my eyes! Roman Archaeology is my background and I am listed in the prestigious Rick Steves Italy guidebook. I'm excited about helping you understand a little more of my beloved city: its art, history, landscape and the mood of the Italian "provincia". I am happy to tailor unique experiences for my travelers: if you are happy, I am happy! On my private tours, "connect" and "share" are my verbs: I couldn't live without connecting with my travelers and sharing ideas and experiences with them. For me being a tour guide is a way of travelling every day without moving from home! I get emotional when I taste classy wines and I am a Level 1 sommelier. I love good architecture, good music, good wines, I read many memoirs. I'm a mother of 3 globe-trotters. -Since 2003: Listed on Rick Steves Italy guidebook. -Master degree in Roman Archaeology. -Level 1 wine Sommelier. -Certified interpretive guide at NAI- National Association for Interpretation (Fort Collins, CO) -Since 2000: Board Licensed Tour Guide in UNESCO Verona and its province -Master course in Museology and Museography. Here are my tours (feel free of asking if you have special requests): - My CITY TOURS where I show you around as a proud native - My very easy and enjoyable LAKE GARDA tour, that I can customize to your needs - My BOUTIQUE WINE TOUR, where you learn about the 3 special things that make the Amarone a great wine - I can easily arrange COMBO TOURS: city+lake or city+wine or even city+lake+wine! - I can also accomodate FAMILIES on my family tour with kids aged 4 to 12 - SHAKESPEARE fans will rejoice on my Romeo and Juliet tour, where I discuss universal values such as Romantic Love, Family Hatred, Young Desire, Good and Bad Parenting, Deep Friendship. - I can also arrange transportation from Milan, from Venice, from Bologna: just ask! I hope to be able to meet you very soon! I am a local guide of Verona: I do not deliver tours in Milan (only pick up). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This was a beautifully arranged tour. We started with an introductory walk around Sirmione, which enabled us to have a good idea where to explore later in our holiday. It's a beautiful town, busy but with a gentle pace, and it's easy to escape the crowds. Our boat and driver on Lake Garda were perfect, with plenty of description but also time to sit back, relax and...

Thank you Sarah, for your nice feed back. Indeed Lake Garda can be glorious on certain days!

We visited two 'wineries', only one of which was an actual vineyard. The first was ultra modern and spectacular from an architectural and design perspective. Unfortunately our 'private' tour included two young, understandably bored and very badly behaved children. This was resolved by the group splitting and so was reasonably well handled. The tastings were generous...

Sorry to hear the inconvenience of those kids was so serious. As you know, Ferragosto- all the wineries are closed- impacted on my choice: I went for a top-notch cellar, way over our budget hadn't we taken a small group visit. Given the noisy kids, the cellar staff immediately offered a private tasting: I thought it was an excellent fix. You say the tasting was rushed:...

An excellent introduction to Verona, which is such a stunning city to explore and get to know. It left us in a good position to return for more extensive visits to different parts. Valeria has extensive knowledge to share, and is able to answer any additional questions thrown at her. Valeria's recommendations for local restaurants and activities, such as little known...

Dear Sarah, grazie for taking the time to review our city tour. I am happy that the memories you have made in this- and in the other tours we took together- are a good excuse for considering a come back to my city of Verona. The Assunta della Cadrega festival has never seen such an elegant couple before, I am sure!
