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.
