Hello everybody, I'm Gaia . My name means happy and actually I'm very happy because I do the most beautiful job in the world: I'm a tour guide! I have a deep passion for art and in particular for painting. After classical/art studies I graduated in Law. But culture and history remained my passion. Thanks to my parents I had a childhood immersed in the history of art, from the ancient Roman and Greek myths to the contemporary and modern art. This upbringing has transformed me in a guide specialized in museum. To guarantee you a high-quality service I decided to follow a course to become an official guide in The Netherlands and I'm proud to be a member of this association. During my study I could deepen my knowledge of subjects such art, history and the famous water management. I'm a big fan of the famous Golden Age period and the many things that developed during that time: the 17th century. In particular, the beautiful paintings by Rembrandt and other great artists which are a true highlight. I love to show people around and to let them fall in love with Amsterdam and the the other wonderful places in The Netherlands. But my opinion is that a tour is not only share knowledge about history, art and coulture but create a meaningful and personal experience. I love to build a genuine connection with travellers! I love to create memorable experiences for everyone involved in a tour: also for kids and teenagers to whom I feel particulary connected sharing with them my enthusiasm in a light-hearted way. I'm particulary suitable for group of friends, family tours but also for travellers with particulars need and attention as people with limited mobility. I have experience of touring with wheelchair users both in Amsterdam and its most popular museum. -Licensed guide: member of official guide organization in The Netherlands. -Diploma after a course by institute Roc in Amsterdam to become guide in The Netherland. -Museum guide -Municipality license to guide in the city center of Amsterdam -Licensed Journalist in Italy -Bachelor diploma degree in Law. -Driving license I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences
