Hello from Trieste! I am your very local tour guide:) I was born and raised here, and even all of my four granparents were. That's why I'll be able to tell you much about this city, through the memories of a few generations. Trieste's history is particularly interesting especially because of what happened here and around this whole area in the XXth century! I am a licenced local tour guide for this city and the whole Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and I am passionate about it, and my family history. I also love nature and the outdoor, therefore if you want to explore the wild areas and get deeper into the local traditions I can advice about that, too. Trieste is located at the border with Slovenia, some 40 minutes from Croatia, less than two hours from Venice, and in a couple of hours you can get to Austria, too. . . isn't that a great position? Come and discover this unique corner of Eastern Italy! I can personalize all my tours according to your preferences. - I worked at Disney World Florida for one year in 1996. - I worked onboard Princess Cruises ships 1999-2002. - I worked as a tour guide for several summer seasons in Norway, in the fjord area. - I am also licensed as a Tour Escort, and escorted several tours in time especially in Norway and Iceland. - I have been working as a local tour guide since 2016. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Feel the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan city of the 1800, that has been one of the first exemples of a cultural "melting pot" in its glory days! We'll meet at the start of Molo Audace, beautiful viewpoint, then onto to elegant Piazza dell'Unità d'Italia, the expression of the highest moment of this city. From there I'll show you the quarter built by Empress Maria Teresa, with the Grand Canal and the orthodox churches. We will then drive to the top of the San Giusto hill, see the roman ruins and visit the Cathedral from the XIV century. Once we're downtown again I'll show you the narrow streets of the old town and the old Jewish Ghetto. After a lunch break, we will drive to the Miramare Castle, the astonishing residence built by Maximilian Hapsburg, and visit this treasure that today makes Trieste very proud, but Maximilian himself could not enjoy for long, since he was made Emperor of Mexico and eventually died tragically over there. I can customize this tour according to your special needs and wishes.
I communicated with Daniella in advance to customize our tour; we were a group of six. Daniella knew the history and shared her personal experiences growing up in the area which really personalized the experience. She was timely, checked with us frequently to see if we were pleased with the the route and materials she was presenting while being open and accommodating if we wanted to expand or reduce time in a particular area.
Had a great time with Daniela. She was most personable and knowledgeable about Trieste and its history. Got a good lunch recommendation very close to our hotel.
Daniela was absolutely exceptional. Her knowledge of history, architecture, and economic political forces which shaped Trieste’s past and present is superlative. Every site was fascinating, but her reading of the Cathedral was a highlight for me. It’s formation from three different centuries and three different churches was the kind of thing that would have been impossible to unlock on my own uninformed observation, but when she unlocked the history and secrets, it was awesomely informative.

We will use a private van to go to the top of the S. Giusto Hill, and to reach the Miramare Castle. The rest of the visit is on foot. In case of need, we can use the van also to move around downtown.
