Ciao! My name is Veronica and "discovering" is MY word! Thanks to my studies in languages I started to travel the world when I was very young and I could build my acknowledge about other cultures abroad. I love to meet people and get to know other countries with their different traditions in art, food, (and wines!) and stories. I live near the sea, in a small town halfway from La Spezia and Livorno, in the town of Puccini, Torre del Lago. My husband is from La Spezia, so I can say I feel a little bit in the middle of two wonderful regions, full of so many simple and great traditions. I am very passionate about nature and animals too, and we live with our horse and three cats. I am an environmental and hiking guide and I will be very pleased to share my knowledge about the territory with you! There is so much to learn to understand a culture and nature is the key, with its vegetation, wildlife and its geological history. My aim is to lead you in hidden treasures of Tuscany and Liguria and their timeless classical highlights, always keeping an eye on the environment. The best thing that we can do when we travel is trying to feel like a local and diving in their everyday life; I will help you to experience it, beeing not only a tourist but becoming a traveller. What are you waiting for? Andiamo! Let's go! I am a licensed Environmental and Hiking Guide with Basic Life Support qualification; I am a tuscan licensed tour leader since 2000 and I have a Diploma in Tourism and Travel Management. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your La Spezia tour
Visit of 3 villages: Portovenere, Riomaggiore and Corniglia. If you have already visited the "Cinque Terre" or if you just want to leave the crowd and try this new experience off the beaten tracks, this is the tour for you! We visit first Portovenere with its lovely church of Saint Peter, perched up on the hill, admiring the wonderful view of the bay, then we go to Riomaggiore with its characteristic small colored harbor where we can enjoy a typical Ligurian lunch and in the afternoon visit of the least visited village of Corniglia, the only one located on the top of the hill, reachable by train. You can't miss this opportunity to enjoy the ligurian Riviera as a local!
Your La Spezia tour itinerary
Departure from the Cruise Ship Port (600 meters walk) and embarking to Portovenere (about 30 minutes). Visit of: - Portovenere (about 1 hour), the enchanting town with its old fortifications and its coloured seafront houses - Riomaggiore will be reached by ferry cruising the amazing coast of the National Parc. Stop in Riomaggiore for a typical "aperitivo" or light lunch in a very local coffee bar overlooking the dramatic Ligurian coast. After having admired the Cinque Terre from the coast, we visit Riomaggiore where we can get a picture of the most characteristic harbor of the Riviera. - In the afternoon, Corniglia awaits us! We catch the train from Riomaggiore to Corniglia (about 10 minutes) and our driver will wait for us in front of the station and will take us on the top of the hill, where Corniglia lies. It is the least visited village, because of its location, that is why it is such an experience to stroll among its amazing "carrugi" (alleys). Transfer by van back to the Port of La Spezia
