Ciao! I am pleased to meet you. My name is Antonella and I would love to show you Verona and Lake Garda though my eyes. I am a licensed city and hiking guide and I have a degree in History of Art. I live not far from Verona, by lake Garda, surrounded by nature, with a huge cultural heritage and are rich in history and local traditions. When I was young my passion for traveling brought me to South America, where I spent six months backpacking through different countries. The highlight of that experience was volunteering for a non-profit organization in Peru, where I had the chance to discover how people truly lived there. Since then, whenever I visit a new country or place I look for its "authentic side", the events which determined the history, the folklore and the culinary traditions. Art and Architecture are also very important, as they are the tangible expression of the past and the identity of a land. This is exactly what I'd like to give you during my tours: it's me, living here, with the love for my land and my curiosity for different cultures. I am convinced that every time I say good-bye to my guests I have given them a part of my country, whilst also learning something about theirs. I enjoy working with all people, as well as with families, children and people with disabilities. I'd be more than happy to plan a tailor-made tour for you. Please contact me if you need any more information or any special requirements. What I also love are open air activities: I am a tireless hiker, a passionate cyclist and I recharge my batteries in natural environments. As a licensed hiker and bike-guide, I can also take you on a hiking or biking tour through the villages around Lake Garda, Verona and the amazing Valpolicella wine district. I look forward to meeting you! 2021 license as environmental, bike and hike guide 2018 license as tour guide 2011 degree in History of Art at the University of Verona 2001 license as tour leader I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Verona tour

Every time that I visit a new place, it's important to me to know its history and to see the signs of its past. But very important to me is also to try to understand how people think and live, in order to have an authentic idea of what I am discovering. This is exactly what I will try to do with this two-hour tour: to show you Verona through my eyes! We will discover Verona through its symbols, starting with the most important one, the Roman Amphitheater called Arena. Of course you will see the highlights of the city center but also some of its hidden corners. We will walk through the charming medieval quarters and learn about the history of Verona, through the life of some of its most famous inhabitants. Last, but not least, we will discover Verona's culinary traditions; its most famous cakes and dishes. I am sure that by the end of the walk you will want to taste them as soon as possible!

We highly recommend Antonella as your tour guide while in Verona or anything else she leads. Antonella is a connector, she takes an interest in you and is able to personalize your tour. For instance, once Antonella realized we had not had our morning coffee/breakfast she took us to her favorite restaurant across from the arena and answered all of our questions relating to coffee etiquette and Italian culture. We never felt rushed and if anything we wanted to hang out longer with Antonella. Without a doubt, she helped us fall even more in love with the beautiful city of Verona!

Antonella showed us the beautiful Verona on our walking tour and enriched our visit with her knowledge and passion for the city. There is so much history hidden in every corner of the city and Antonella brought it all to life. If you are planning to visit Verona, having Antonella as your guide is a must. You can thank me later.

Antonella was more than a guide - she instantly became a part of our group, easily integrating with all 3 generations! The way she connected with the 2 kids was incredible, with story telling, visual cues, mysteries to solve. I'm not sure what was better - learning from her, or watching the kids learn from her. She was also constantly adapting and adjusting the standard tour, based both on our interests and on avoiding traffic and crowds. It felt very customized and personalized. Somehow she was able to be scanning the environment and be 100% present with us at the same time, which is quite a rare talent. Her knowledge and her enthusiasm is a combo that is tough to beat. We just want to be friends with her now! Highly highly highly recommend.
