After I studied history of art at the University of Florence, in 1998 I decided to transform my passion into a job and I became an Official Tour Guide of Florence. During my tours I want to show everything the city has to offer, from its history to the curiosity, starting from the great people who transformed Florence into a famous city worldwide

Nathalie I am French and I've lived in Italy since 1995 when I get married and moved to Bologna, the city which enchanted me the very first time I visited it. I first studied in France and received a degree in art and philosophy, with a specific concentration in Tourism. As a licenced tour-guide in France, I have been working as a Tour leader in Europe and worldwide since 1993 and I passed the exam to become an official tour-guide in Bologna in 2002. Travelling is a real passion that I inherited from my father: thanks to him, we moved 34 times in 30 years, and once lived in Polynesia! In Italy our profession as a tour-guide is strictly regulated in order to give our visitors the best services, and make them feel the “true Bolognese soul”.

Gabriella : I have a degree in Social Sciences from the Zancan Foundation in Padua, Italy. I moved to Mantua with my family and have been an "Italian Blue Badge" guide here since 1999. I have decided to share my love of this area with those who want to discover artistic and enogastronomical treasures in Mantua. Unfortunately there is no space here to mention the many wonderful artistic riches that our area offers.

Alessandra I was born in Milano and I have studied and worked abroad for many years before moving to Liguria in 1987. I live on the coast and I know very well the secrets of the wonderful city of Genoa and the charming villages on the Riviera! I will take you around a city that has truly changed in the last twenty years , especially after the opening of the Aquarium and the restoration of the historic centre, the biggest one in Europe: you have many good reasons to visit Genoa: museums, Renaissance palaces, the narrow alleys of the medieval town and the old port area. I work very often with cruise ships passengers and with groups coming from all over the world to visit both the city and the Riviera, with fascinating tours both in the city and on the coast, by bus, by boat and on foot when the excursion takes us in the footpaths of the park of Portofino.

ANTONELLA : She loves two things in life: her children and her job! She was born in Naples and she feels she belong to this city and she likes very much to take people around and she likes to adapt the visits to anybody’s need and interest. She is an “old” tour guide, she has been working for 24 years!! She started as a guide but then she specialised in itineraries concerning art, history, painting and she likes very much to mix everything offering a tour which for everybody, never boring or repetitive; not many names and dates in her commentary but the sense of history and love for the city.

I was born in Stresa and I learnt foreign languages at the High school and I gradueted at Milano University. In 1993 I became a tour leader but some years later I decided to be back on "my" lake and since 1998 I have been a certified English speaking guide. I wait for you here to go together to discover the beauty of the lakes and mountains. You will fall in love.....
