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.

If you want to have a tour of one of the most beautiful and historically significant hill towns, Assisi, you must book Alessandra Pettinelli. Ms. Pettinelli is a professor and a very proud long time Assisi resident. She has a wealth of knowledge of St. Claire, St. Francis, the history of the town and the churches. Our tour started a little late because we had an issue with parking and Ms. Pettinelli extended the tour for us. We truly loved meeting her! Thank you!!!!
Shirley K.United States
Alessandra tailored the tour to meet all of our needs. She grew up in Assisi and teachs at the university. Her knowledge reflects her passion for the people and especially St Francis. We felt extremely grateful to have someone of her caliber as our guide. Thank you so very much.
