Excursions in the sorroundings
The excursions that I propose outside Verona are not simple "accompaniments": nowadays, in fact, anyone, with Google, a couple of phone calls and a taxi ride, can reach attractions, restaurants, wineries, etc., in complete autonomy.
But I am a tourist guide, and even before that, since I was born, I have known the authentic province, the small roads among the hilly vineyards, the unexpected views in the villages of Lake Garda, the producers of the fertile Veronese Plains and the breeders in the pastures of Lessinia.
Over the years and experience I have learned how to balance landscapes, gastronomy and gems of history and art that create the perfect formula for an unforgettable day, the kind that remain in the memories and warm the heart when you think back!
"Small is beautiful": healthy tourism is that which benefits local economies more than large chains; I choose itineraries off the beaten track, and I collaborate with small-sized local businesses, both artisanal and family-run.​
​
Slow tourism, not last-minute: I appreciate those who contact me in advance because I don't sell last-minute products (it's useless to contact me today for tomorrow! :) and I create personalized itineraries.
