After 25+ years spent with independent, curious travelers I know how to connect deeply and quickly. So let me be your sister in town! I can't wait of taking you to my favorite spots for seeing, eating, drinking and delving into the city soul. I was born and raised in Verona, an adorable, romantic, cozy Italian city and I have seen it changing over time under my eyes! Roman Archaeology is my background and I am listed in the prestigious Rick Steves Italy guidebook. I'm excited about helping you understand a little more of my beloved city: its art, history, landscape and the mood of the Italian "provincia". I am happy to tailor unique experiences for my travelers: if you are happy, I am happy! On my private tours, "connect" and "share" are my verbs: I couldn't live without connecting with my travelers and sharing ideas and experiences with them. For me being a tour guide is a way of travelling every day without moving from home! I get emotional when I taste classy wines and I am a Level 1 sommelier. I love good architecture, good music, good wines, I read many memoirs. I'm a mother of 3 globe-trotters. -Since 2003: Listed on Rick Steves Italy guidebook. -Master degree in Roman Archaeology. -Level 1 wine Sommelier. -Certified interpretive guide at NAI- National Association for Interpretation (Fort Collins, CO) -Since 2000: Board Licensed Tour Guide in UNESCO Verona and its province -Master course in Museology and Museography. Here are my tours (feel free of asking if you have special requests): - My CITY TOURS where I show you around as a proud native - My very easy and enjoyable LAKE GARDA tour, that I can customize to your needs - My BOUTIQUE WINE TOUR, where you learn about the 3 special things that make the Amarone a great wine - I can easily arrange COMBO TOURS: city+lake or city+wine or even city+lake+wine! - I can also accomodate FAMILIES on my family tour with kids aged 4 to 12 - SHAKESPEARE fans will rejoice on my Romeo and Juliet tour, where I discuss universal values such as Romantic Love, Family Hatred, Young Desire, Good and Bad Parenting, Deep Friendship. - I can also arrange transportation from Milan, from Venice, from Bologna: just ask! I hope to be able to meet you very soon! I am a local guide of Verona: I do not deliver tours in Milan (only pick up). I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

A smooth and easy way to navigate the city far and wide: a well paced combination of sightseeing on foot and taxi rides. My 25+ years of expertise in showing you my hometown's facets in my most complete city tour that is my new best seller! This tour combines: the Verona urban setting the riverside banks the green and quiet hills a nice city view from above a small snack and a drink at a place with local flavor All in all, a memorable, diverse and funny day delving into the city soul! Please note thar: - in case of extreme hot or cold weather - if you cannot walk easily (Please enquire for bigger groups)
Wonderful tour. Wonderful guide.
Very kind and knowledgeable
My wife and I greatly enjoyed the tour and camaraderie we developed with Valeria. We did quite a bit of research before the tour and I had several e mail exchanges with Valeria. She really got a feel for what we were most interested in, covered an extensive request list and was very knowledgeable. We asked to focus primarily on history and she succeeded beyond our expectations. She also picked a great place for lunch choosing excellent wines. We highly recommend her for visitors to Verona.
Outstanding tour, simply outstanding. Fun, interesting, informative and all given at the perfect pace. Valeria is a gem of a guide - hugely impressive knowledge, great explanations, and just a wonderful wonderful experience. Thank you so much Valeria - we recommend you without reservation.
I recently took this tour with Valeria, it was amazing! I have been to Verona before and have been on a tours by locals Verona tour. Valeria customized the tour so we didn't overlap places I've already explored. The trip to the winery (at the top of one of the hills in the Verona area) was amazing,both the views and the wines. Thank you Valeria and Tours by Locals for a lovely day!
