Hi! My name is Elisabetta and I am a licensed Tour Guide of the Umbria Region both in English and Spanish. I was born in Perugia and have always lived here (from generations). This is why I know every single corner of my region, even the most hidden ones! I also had a chance to live in the States and UK as a child and that's how I learnt my English and how I fell in love with American and English culture!! My idea of traveling aims to authentic and unique experiences, that's why I love to share with whoever comes visiting the real spirit of my Region based on the pleasure of little things that seem to have been lost in memory, the pleasure that arises from the slow pace of Umbrian life habits, still hanging on to the thin thread of the past, from the richness of its cousine, wine and olive oil production and from the beauty of its millenary history and fascinating art. I offer both half day, full day and multiple days tours in the most classical cities in the region, such as Perugia, Assisi, Spello, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto, as well as tours to the hidden gems located off the most beaten tracks. In case you don't have your car or, simply, don't feel like driving, don't hesitate to ask because I can provide tours with private driver and car (up to mini vans with 8 seats). Of course, I'll be very pleased to customize your tours according to your requests, sorting out together some very special and unforgettable itineraries around Umbria. My motto is: "The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it. " - Ralph Waldo Emerson I look forward to welcoming you to Umbria !!! - licensed an Official Guide of the Umbria Region passing a National Exam, both written and oral; - Master and Bachelor degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures; - PhD in Art and Culture of Italy during the Age of the Grand Tour; - licensed by National Exam a Professor of English language and English literature in Secondary and High School; I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
