I'll show you Verona - you decide how! Verona is my adopted city, but I know her well, and I'd like nothing better than to show you around. I was born in Norway, and moved permanently to Italy in 2014. However, 2014 was not when I first came to Italy or to Verona. In fact, I lived bang in the center of Verona for a year, working as an English teacher at a school in the province. This was quite a few years before moving here permanently. Now I live a bit outside of the city - marrying an Italian man often means settling down near where his mother lives. Sometimes one just has to adapt to the circumstances! I've been a guide in Verona for a few years now, and I am always excited to show visitors around. Being enthusiastic about Verona is really quite easy: - She's often lively, but rarely chaotic. - She is strangely harmonious despite being home to a mishmash of buildings from different historical periods. - She looks good any time of year, and always has something to offer. - She is filled to the brim with famous historical landmarks, but also hides lesser-known, equally lovely gems. - She offers a multitude of restaurants and bars; some calm and secluded, others bustling with life. - She is charming, and a fun place to be. I have created tours that I would like to go on myself if I were to visit Verona. I hope you find something that appeals to you. However, should you want something different, then I am happy to customize and create something just for you. Just let me know, and we'll work out an itinerary together. Leaving Norway, I left behind a teaching profession, and created a new career for myself in my new home country. As a guide and tour leader I actually get to do what I loved most about teaching: communicating with others about issues that I am passionate about (but don't worry, there will be no exams for you to sit / for me to correct). So, what do I do when I am not showing visitors around Verona? I will very often be spotted knitting in public (in fact, I usually have a knitting project with me in my bag - whenever I have the time, I'll knit a few stitches or a few rounds). Or, if I am home in my office, then I might just be working on designing a website for a small business (unless I am creating a new tour to offer!). Anyway, that's enough about me for now. Let's meet on one of my tours! - Licensed city guide. (Every licensed city guide can conduct tours in any city in Italy by law, but we all specialize in certain cities. I have specialized in Verona). - Licensed tour leader. This means I can also accompany visitors in e.g. restaurants or wine cellars. - Licensed nature / trekking guide. - Certified Travel Designer (from Travel Designer Academy run by Francesca Pozzan) - Sommelier Level 1, FISAR (there is a total of three levels) - Course in Art History from the University of Oslo - Certified teacher from the University of Oslo + many years teaching experience

Overview of your Verona tour

Is Verona more than what is found on the peninsula within the medieval walls? Oh, absolutely! And since we'll have a private car with driver at our disposal for a part of this tour, you'll experience so much of what Verona has to offer. Shakespeare said: ". . . there is no world without Verona walls". And a lot of people stay inside these medieval walls when they visit Verona. However, I want to show you that there is indeed lots to discover outside those walls, and on both sides of the river. We'll cross piazze where the Veronese often go to socialize; the church where the remains of the Patron Saint of Verona lie; the neighborhood that was utterly transformed by WWII, but still a very popular residential area. Then, we'll see Verona from the hills - where the very first inhabitants settled, but where they were forced to move from when Verona became a Roman municipality. Back down from the hills, we'll take on the narrow streets of Verona on foot and enjoy the atmosphere of the historical city center

Your Verona tour itinerary

- We'll start our tour from your accommodation. Then, our private driver will take us to Piazza Brà, before heading off to the little "village" of San Zeno which is near the city center, but at the same time far enough away to not be a part of every visitor's itinerary. It is a really popular area with the Veronese, and one of the places they gather at aperitivo time all year round. - Next we'll visit the Borgo Trento part of town - it was heavily bombed during WWII, but we can still see Liberty villas that survived. - Driving along the river we'll see a number of important bridges, but we'll also head up to the Torricelle area to have a view of Verona from above. - Back down, we'll start our walking tour at Ponte Pietra, and very soon we'll have a stop for some snacks. - Then, we'll make our way towards Piazza Erbe where we will finish our tour. On our walk, we'll experience the area of the city's cathedral, Sottoriva, Arche Scaligere, Piazza dei Signori, Juliet's courtyard - and all the narrow streets.
