Hello and welcome to Brescia, Verona, Lake Garda and Lake Iseo My name is Davide, and my goal is to help you experience this beautiful part of Italy as a real local, not just as a visitor. I am a licensed tour guide with over 20 years of experience, an art historian, and a professional cook with a deep passion for local food and wine. My guiding journey began in Stockholm, Sweden, continued in Rome, and eventually brought me back to this extraordinary area of my beloved country. Why Brescia, Lake Garda and Verona? Few places in Italy combine history, beauty and everyday life so naturally. From a sunset walk through Verona’s romantic streets, to the lively alleys of Brescia’s Carmine district, or sitting in a family-run vineyard tasting Valpolicella or Franciacorta, this region reveals its charm through people, traditions, hidden corners and centuries of fascinating stories. Last but not least… my tours are designed for curious, thoughtful travelers who want to truly understand the places they visit through engaging storytelling — without being lectured. I like to combine solid and serious knowledge with a relaxed atmosphere, a touch of humor, and plenty of room for conversation, fun, and a good laugh. Join me, and let’s turn your time here into a memorable, engaging and enjoyable experience. - Licensed Tour Guide of Brescia and Verona - Licensed Tour guide of Rome - Licensed Tour Guide in Stockholm, Sweden - Licensed Bicycle and Trekking guide active in all of Italy - Art Historian with Master degreee at the University of Milano - Professional Cook

Overview of your Stresa tour
If you’re looking for a tour that lets you experience the unique beauty of the Borromean Islands, their palaces, and Lake Maggiore in a relaxed and fun atmosphere… this is the best tour! We’ll talk about history and art, but we won’t forget to introduce you to the true and authentic atmosphere of this beautiful region. The tour starts with a short 15-minute boat ride to Isola Bella where we will visit the Borromean Palace and the enchanting gardens. We will then take another boat to Isola Pescatori where we will learn about the history and anecdotes about the unique people who have lived here through the centuries and we will then end the tour with an aperitivo where you will have time to ask all the questions you have and use my expertise about the district for best spots, best sites, best food and wine, best walks and more! This will make the experience even more genuine, relaxed, and friendly.
