About Me

Welcome to Scotland I am from Italy but it is 23 years that I live in this beautiful country! I left Italy when I finished the University where I studied Languages and Literature. I lived in Africa, France, Spain and the USA but I decided to build my future in this beautiful country and my main job is being a Tourist Guide. I do believe that much is lost by self touring and for good reasons. The guide books provide, for the most part, factual information, answers as to who, why, how, where and when, like news journalists are trained to do. But, often something is missing, and that's the story behind the story or the amusement, the spirit, the story of risk and the origin of the seed of an idea that sprang forth. This is Why you need a Professional Qualified Guide! I have no scripted speeches or monologues. I am very enthusiastic and I love what I do passionately! You'll catch the excitement when you hear the stories behind the old town of Edinburgh, Glasgow, castles with their ghosts, myth and legends! It is my pleasure to build a tour that focuses on your interests, preferences and whims and make your tour experience the most memorable and informative that you could wish for.
