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.

If you have an entire day at disposal. . . if you like browsing downtown but also see the outskirts. . . if you like the world of wine. . . then this is the tour for you! As both a Certified tour guide and a Level 1 Sommelier, I can offer you my expertise to make your day memorable! In the morning I take you on a brief city tour with me to see Verona's unmissable sites and get the sense of my town. At lunch time we go together to the Valpolicella, the Amarone wine area, where I have selected a couple of good wineries for you: a medium size one, with a good selection of honest wines and a premium cellar with outstanding bottles. You will get to know different Amarone styles and wine philosophies, while making new friends!
A. M. : Verona downtown in a sip: Roman arena and the piazzas, with Juliet's courtyard Lunch time and P. M. : Cellar tour with Amarone wine tasting at two wineries that I have personally selected and that I love At every cellar I make sure that you can have a very personal tour You will experience 2 different styles of wine making Amarone is a noble wine, and every step of the process of harvesting, pressing, fermenting and ageing brings a little piece of additional interest to the magic of the taste!
