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. This tour offers a relaxing way to go beyond the basics, experiencing Verona a truly elegant city in a very complete way. It includes a 3-hour walk + 1 hour by taxi - CLASSIC TOUR OF VERONA. This is my best selling 3-hour walking tour. - Best of Verona in just 2 hours. Art, History & Lifestyle. For visitors with limited time or for families with kids. - Roman Verona: not only for architecture buffs! - Day round trip from Venice to Verona with transportation. - LAKE GARDA private half day/full day tour with transportation from Verona and back. - Wine and food tours in the Amarone- Valpolicella" classica" and extended area where you discover a sparkling white wine with a future. This complete wine experience can be combined in two days. Traditional AMARONE wine encounters young "avant-garde" sparkling Durello. 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. It is important for you to know that I am a certified guide in UNESCO Verona and its cultural heritage. This means that I am allowed to guide you inside all the monuments of Verona Certified Guides of Verona have NO RESTRICTIONS in: churches, historical buildings, all public museums and galleries and in most private collections.

Overview of your Verona tour

Escape the summer heat just 40 minutes from Verona! Perched at 600m (~2,000 ft), the stone village of Molina offers a delightfully cool microclimate. Here you visit the Parco delle Cascate (Waterfalls Park), a sprawling natural haven hidden in a lush, verdant gorge. Towering limestone cliffs, mossy rocks, and dense leafy canopies act as natural air conditioning. Crystal-clear streams, turquoise pools, and roaring waterfalls create a serene nature escape wrapped in the soothing sound of rushing water. Thanks to its altitude and lush green surroundings, the area offers a noticeably cooler microclimate, making it a refreshing haven during the hot months, not only in spring. Facilities: Features picnic areas, restrooms, and a snack bar. Footwear: Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes with good grip are mandatory (no flip-flops/sandals). Weather: The park may close during heavy rain for safety reasons. Tickets: Free entry for kids under 6.

Your Verona tour itinerary

Itinerary (09:00 AM – 01:00 PM) 09:00 AM – Pickup in Verona and scenic drive through the rolling vineyards of Valpolicella, steadily ascending into the cooler hills. 09:40 – 11:30 AM – Enjoy the Green Trail at the Molina Waterfalls Park, taking plenty of time to play by the streams, see the 3 waterfalls, take photos on the giant swing, and enjoy the shade. 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM – Ascent back up to the historic stone village of Molina for a well-deserved rest, a refreshing ice cream, or a cold drink at a local café. 12:15 – 01:00 PM – Relaxing drive back down to Verona, arriving in time for lunch. Inside the park, you will find convenient amenities including picnic areas, clean restrooms, and a snack bar for a quick refreshment. I suggest the Green 1 hour Trail: Short and easy (great for young families), with a few steep spots and 3 waterfalls. Hike Note: Starts downhill, but the steep uphill return is strenuous if you're not used to trekking.
