I like to think that guiding is an art form! It involves beauty, natural inclination and passion. Sharing knowledge is important but it is not enough. I believe that both me as a guide and visitors as well want to experience emotions while on tour. Verona holds the key to my heart! This where I LIVE, it is the city I LOVE. My tours are for inspired and curious visitors. I love to be pushed out of my comfort zone interacting with different people and cultures every day. My guiding style is to go beyond facts to pass on the meaning of what you see, to understand more about Verona and. . . about yourself. When you will be walking with me through this evocative town, expect to learn but also to relax, to be treated as visiting friends and to be entertained. As a true Verona resident, my mission is to leave you with a feeling for the familiar in Verona as well as what is different and special. I was born in Zurich-Switzerland but Verona really captured my soul! I have been living there for the past 30 years. I am a ToursByLocals guide since 2012. I have always had an interest in Architecture and Art, eventually I decided to study foreign literature and languages During those very formative years I had the privilege of travelling, meeting wonderful people and staying in very different places: Switzerland, France, Morocco and Singapore. I like challenges and when I have a new idea, I tend to get completely involved in every aspect of it. In the beginning I have many doubts, but once the project takes form, I am very happy to have persevered. I think I have found a balance between the passion for my work and the one for my interests: cultural anthropology, Montessori method, my family history, good friends. Sooner or later I will take a sabbatical to tour the world without leaving the ground. I only give tours in Verona and its region. Being a certified local guide means that I give tours only in the place I live and know well. IMPORTANT NOTICE: In June, July and August, due to the heat I suggest you reserve your tour of Verona in the morning whenever possible. My most popular Verona tours: - Verona in 4-hours.

GUIDE CERTIFICATION # 289 (Region of Veneto) 2022 Certified Interpretive Guide by NAI - National Association for Interpretation- Fort Collins, USA 1995 Certified Tour Manager EDUCATION I graduated at the Foreign Language High School studying art, European history and literature.

If you are staying in Verona for a couple of days consider taking a private tour to the enchanted Lake Garda, 40 minutes from town. Lake Garda is a fragment of the Mediterranean Sea placed at the feet of the Italian Alps. Italy's largest lake possesses at the same time the radiant, aggressive beauty of the South and the dusky melancholy of the North. Lake Garda flaunts a continuously changing array of colors and scenarios and it is nestled between three provinces: Trento to the north, Brescia to the west and Verona to the east, and it is this eastern Riviera, covered in the rippling silvery tops of the olive groves that I invite you to discover. You learn about history, culture, folklore, cuisine and visiting Lazise or Peschiera, romantic walled medieval village with a castle and the dockyard, before heading Sirmione pure gem of the Lake and stopping in the hilly area south of Garda Lake for a delicious home-made tortellini lunch before heading back to Verona.
Unforgettable Lake Garda Day Trip from Verona -Morning Pick-Up: Your private tour starts at your Verona hotel or train station. -Medieval Charm: Explore the picturesque walled towns of Lazise or Peschiera del Garda. -Scenic Boat Tour: Embark on a private boat cruise around the stunning Sirmione Peninsula. Free Time: Enjoy leisure time to explore the charming streets of Sirmione. -Home-made tortellini based lunch in a restaurant where only locals go including: 1 starter, 2 courses of tortellini with delicious different fillings, 1 dessert, coffee, wine and mineral water. Pricing 75 Eur per person to be paid directly at the restaurant -Afternoon Return: Relax on the return journey to Verona. IMPORTANT: I recommend booking this tour during the weekdays. Saturdays and Sundays from April to September are very busy on Lake Garda.
