Paola was wonderful. Both her knowledge of the city as well as her demeanor were spot on. We all enjoyed spending three hours learning about Trieste and walking the streets with her.

Hi, my name is Paola. I was born in Trieste, where I grew up, and after high school I have lived in many different countries. I have qualified as an official tour leader and official tour guide and now I have almost 13 years experience as a tour guide. I love my hometown and I am happy to share my knowledge and to transmit my enthusiasm for my amazing hometown and its breathtaking surroundings. My interest in history and history of art go back to the time of my classical education and university. I then deepened this knowledge with additional studies and developed also further interests in botanic and also in the history of cinema, religions and gastronomy. But I can also provide you with some. . . 'vintage gossip'! I am happy when I can share my enthusiasm for the place I live and its amazing surroundings. I have written and conducted broadcasts of cultural and musical content for the radio. What I love about my profession: I love when people fall in love with this town and its regionâŠthat they are here for the first or for the tenth time⊠I love discovering people's interests and adapt my tour to them⊠I am particularly proud to be able to always offer personally tailored tours, always very attentive to my guests' feedback, keeping a constant contact with them and being very flexible in order to meet their expectations. Venice Tourism Department, officially licenced as a tour leader Friuli Venezia Giulia Tourism Administration, officially licenced as a guide for the whole region Friuli Venezia Giulia (licence no.136) I am not a driver. If a vehicle is necessary (which is often the case) , I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Discovering an amazing town and its surprises with your private tour guide
Overview of your Trieste tour
Trieste has much to offer: a combination of a wonderful natural settings, surrounded as it is both by the sea and by the Karstic plateau, as well as a pretty peculiar history. It has been part of the Austrian Empire for over 500 centuries and its main port for 2 centuries, becoming thus a melting pot of cultures, languages and religions. We will have the opportunity of seeing the beautiful romanesque cathedral, some roman ruins, fascinating small, crooked streets of medieval origin and also the more 'modern' part from the XVIII Century. We will admire the impressive main squares with their elegant buildings - always with a view over the sea or over the Karstic hills, and enjoy a coffee break at one of the famous and elegant coffeehouses.

Jeroen H.United Kingdom
After a tour stretching from Prague to Trieste via Vienna with guides in each city, Paola stood out for her knowledge of and passion for her subject. Never have we been with a guide who weaved so much history from so many periods into a contemporary assessment of a great city.
