Hello!I am registered guide for the Region of Umbria. I was born in Assisi and I studied Foreign Languages at the University of Perugia. After university I obtained post university degrees in translation and linguistic as well in art and history. Over the years I have become fluent in English and German, and so, in addition to our work as a tour guide, I also work as interpreter, translator and Italian language teacher. Since many years I have offered personalized guide services in Umbria to thousands of people, travelling as individuals, couples or groups, introducing them to our spectacular landscape, our magnificent "art cities", and to our wines, food and culture. I look forward to sharing my love for the art and history of Umbria by exploring it with you. As tour we will follow a number of charming, interesting and evocative classical and also less famous routes through Umbria, exploring the best known Umbrian cities and towns. I'll wait for you in Umbria for sharing with you the wonder and the rich surprises of a journey to my beautiful region. I am an official licensed guide of Umbra Region and furthermore I am an official licensed travel agent. I've university and post university degrees in Foreign Languages & Tourism. In addition to that I have a master in translation and also in didactic which has been very helpful for making special tours for schools and universities. I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

This is our 2d tour with Alessandra. After the tour experience she provided in Perugia, we were excited for her to show us more of Umbria--and she did not disappoint! Her depth of knowledge & enthusiasm made Assisi and Spello so interesting, & also made us eager to learn more. She was attentive to our needs for breaks & she's a great conversationalist. She also recommended some activities for us to pursue during our "non-tour" time. We will definitely engage her services on our next trip to Umbria.

Everything was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend this guide for any tours she hosts. Once we got off the train, Alessandra took care of ever need and made sure our tour was exactly what we wanted. She has lived her life in the places she guides. No need to look further.

Alessandra deserves 5 stars! Our day with her in Assissi and Spello made this part of Italy come alive. She is a true professional. Her English is immpecable, her knowledge of the area and religious history was inspiring, her in depth descriptions of the arts and art history were superlative. Allesandra has a delightful sense of humor and a pleasant way about her. She is deeply proud of her part of Umbria and shared her love of the area, the local culture, the foods, the personalities, the way of life.

Allessandra was perfect for our group of ten. She captured and managed the different interests of the large group for 6 hours. Her explanations of the historical perspective was spot on line and informative. She took us quickly through the highlights of Assisi and Spello exactly as we needed. Highly recommend her.

Alessandra is very knowledgeable not only about the history, architecture and art in an around Assisi and Spello. She has a lovely personality and made our day very enjoyable. We would definitely book with her again if we return to the Tuscany area.

Most enjoyable and informative day with Alessandra. The pace and agenda were flexible up to the moment to accomodate our family requests and continous questions. It was great to have a longtime locals perspective on many topics. Cultural conversations were engaging and interesting. We highly recommend Alessandra to others.
