The Difference of a Local Dreamer
Forget the generic tours, my service is built on a simple focus: to share the authentic, local soul of Italy with you, just as I would do it with a friend. I don't just show you landmarks, I unlock the personal stories and hidden gems that bring a place to life.
I offer personalized tours across captivating regions: Verona, Valpolicella, Lake Garda, Tuscany, Liguria, center and north of Italy but also France and Provence.
Every journey is either one of my unique itineraries or a fully customized experience, planned with meticulous care. You won't just visit a destination, you’ll feel its heartbeat, enjoy its best flavors, and leave with a story that is uniquely yours.
There is no world for me beyond the walls of Verona: there is only purgatory, there is torture, hell itself; banished from here, it is as if I were banished from the world; and exile from the world means death.
(William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, act 3, scene 3)

He showed up exactly on time at our hotel and off we went. He was a skilled driver, story teller and historian. We learned so much about the history and culture of Verona. Alessandro himself is an experienced world traveler and his English is perfect.
Some highlights of our day were a visit to a remote hilltop village with a church positioned over a Roman cistern, and a gourmet sandwich lunch on the banks of Lake Garda. He was an excellent host and ambassador of all things Veronese. Make a day with Alessandro the first thing you do when you get to Verona.
If you're looking for an authentic and enriching experience in Verona, a tour with Alessandro is highly recommend! It’s a perfect blend of culture, history, and food, all delivered with warmth and enthusiasm.
