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.

Overview of your Foligno tour

Perugia is the capital of Umbria and one of the local hill towns. It is a city full of charme and history. With me as a private guide you will walk along its city wall dating from the Etruscan age, get lost in the symbols carved by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano's into the Fontana Maggiore and find yourself fascinated by the many layers of the Rocca Paolina. Perugia is a city full of charme and history and I'll take you experiencing every ancient gate, alley, piazza, palazzo and church trying to capture your imagination; I'll make every museum and gallery impressing you with their sense of history, culture and art. Perugia indeed is not just a stuffy old showcase of the ancient, it also has a young, vibrant and energetic feel. My favourite in Perugia festivals in Perugia are the annual fall Chocolate festival and the summer Umbria Jazz festival, lending the city to a chic and urbane atmosphere unmatched by other Italian cities. Come on and go to Perugia together!

First, we love our tour guide Alessandra. We have had her for other tours in Umbria. This time we did a 1/2 day tour in Perugia. I have actually been to Perugia many times, but with Alessandra I really gleaned so much more about the town. She brought to light both small details and also a bigger picture of the town and its relationship to other places in Italy. In addition, she took us to a bar on a side street that I never knew existed (it was a hidden gem and we still talk about it!).Highly recommend!

Alessandra was wonderful. Very knowledgable, interesting and patient. She explained the archeology and history of various sites as well as the meaning of paintings, buildings, etc. We are sure she tailored her talk to our interests and level of knowledge, instead of delivering a standard talk. Brava! We recommend her without any hesitation.

My husband, son and I had a wonderful morning in Perugia with Alessandra. She focused the tour on our interests, frequently turning on a dime to show us something in a square, on a fountain, decorating a building. She even explained the history and design of the local pottery. She wove facts and ideas together seamlessly. We learned while having a great time. Plus she pointed out restaurants, sweets and a bread bakery to try. Highly recommend!

Alessandra was a delight! Her knowledge of Perugia is extensive, and she shared it with us in a passionate and humorous manner. We especially enjoyed her insights into modern, and well as ancient, social customs and mores. She pointed out other activities that we could pursue during the remainder of our vacation (which we are happy that we did). The special coffee drink to which she introduced us was delicious. We recommend her as your tour guide whole-heartedly!

Alessandra gave us an exceptional 1/2 day tour of Perugia. Her English is excellent, and we found her to have deep knowledge and enthusiasm for the city, its history, local events, sights, shops and restaurants. She was flexible and attentive to our interests. We hope to tour with Alessandra again soon in this area!

Alessandra's tour was fun and informative. We got a little rain and she totally rolled with it by taking us into an amazing coffee shop until it passed even giving us the history of it. My group love every minute of it.
