I'm curious, engaging and I really do love traveling. I decided to study languages to become a citizen of the world. I chose friends and jobs that created  many experiences and understanding of different cultures. I started all of my adventures with a lot of enthusiasm and the passion that fuels my day.  But, I found I always returned to my Naples. As time went by, I understood it was not only the place where I was born, but a pulsating heart which beats stronger and stronger inside of me. Naples is what I am, my roots, my family, my friend, the thousands of colors reflecting my soul. Naples is the pleasure of welcoming, rejoicing and surprising. I adore enjoying it and sharing the emotions Naples can provide to someone who is able to love and respect it. When I am with someone who has never had the pleasure to visit it yet, my greatest desire is to be able to help them look at it through my eyes and wish, as it happened to me, to come back.

My name is Anna and I am one of the City Experts of Lazio region.

I define myself a traveler. Having grown up between Italy and Sweden, I started traveling as a child and develop a curiosity about the world. I have lived in various cities in Italy (Milan, Florence, Brescia and Rome) and in the world (Cape Town, Stockholm, Playa del Carmen, Paris) and in more than 20 years of traveling I can say I set foot on every continent .

Meanwhile I graduated in International Law at the University of Bologna, I studied languages abroad and at Cambridge Univeristy in Cape Town.

I chose Roma because I felt it was a place I could call "home". It embodies the magnificence, sanctity, history, romance, acceptance, chaos, beauty.

I will be pleased to welcome you with the words of the great Alberto Sordi “Rome is not a city like any other. It is a great museum, a living room to cross on tiptoe”.

I'm Iole and I'm one of the City Expert of Veneto!

I live in Venice and I'm one of those few residents who still live in this magnificent city of water.

My work takes me to meet people coming from all over the world to admire a unique and inimitable place, a city where there are canals and boats instead of streets and cars, where you go to the grocery store you’re your cart and you know everybody. A city where you greet each other in the morning at the bar drinking a coffee and we meet the same people again in the evening to drink a “ombra de vin” (little shot of wine that we call “ombra”) before dinner, in the bacaro just close your house.

This is a city that lives its own life in spite of the difficulties, costs and the number of people that comes to see her every day.

My task is to show to tourists, with respect and with joy, this so unique and different reality, so fragile but so proud of herself. Because the tourist deserves to see the real Venice and deserves to be introduced to its history and its art without forgetting its traditions and its culture. Because Venice is an open air museum of made with art, museums, palaces, gardens, statues and real and true people, who speaks proud his dialect and keep alive his traditions. Learn with me to love this city in all its facets. I wait for you!

For years I live and work in Milan, a wonderful city that has a lot to offer for everyone. I decided to combine a passion for foreign languages, that I learned as a child and that I continue to grow with updates, and the love of travel, art and tourism, and to turn my interest in a job that I perform with such dedication.

The attention to the individual needs of the tourists and the commitment to meet all their needs are my strong points. I will let you discover the lesser-known aspects of Milan, a city with an ancient history, rich in monuments, museums, attractions, but also of culinary traditions, charming and attractive for its fashionable shop windows and for its population, the Milanese, known for their dress code and their charm!

I am a professional Tour Manager in Tuscany and City Guide of Florence, the city where I was born and raised and I am just looking forward to sharing your precious experience in Florence and in Tuscany with me. My deep passion and enthusiasm for foreign languages and history of art pointed me out the way  that I had to follow very soon. But only after I got my University degree in foreign languages I could make my dream come true.  Travelling, meeting people of different cultures, learning about different traditions has really broadened my mind and enriched my personality. Then it was a natural step for me to dedicate myself completely  to the job of city expert and tour guide which is more than a job for me, I like to call it .... mission!  I do believe that only a local native guide can show you properly the incredibly rich variety of this city and its surrounding territory. Florence is much more than the city of Renaissance! I am just waiting  for you. Come and enjoy with me the pure unique essence of Beauty in Florence!

Born, grew up and graduated in Palermo, I wandered for years between Rome, Paris and Belfast. In a return flight from Argentina I met the (Irish) man of my life and I took it with me in Sicily. A year ago, also during a trip, we decided to have a child. This is to describe how the journey has always been my perfect size! 5 years ago I returned to Palermo and I deal with tourism in Sicily at 360 degrees. I love my island and I think it's the most beautiful place in the world ... I explore it all the time and I'm always amazed. In Sicily there is everything: sea, mountains, deserts, forests and waterfalls. There are the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Normans and the Baroque. In Sicily you can eat well. Come to Palermo in my company and I will show you its wonders, the beauty of a noble city with a popular, cosmopolitan and a bit anarchist heart.
