Hello, I\u2019m Laura<\/strong><\/span>, licensed tourist guide in Verona<\/a> and its Province<\/a> and authorized tour leader<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This profession has become for me the realization of my dreams<\/strong><\/span>, because it gives me every day the opportunity to know people of different nationalities and lead them with my passion and my enthusiasm to discover the most beautiful places.<\/p>\n

In January 2015 I obtained a diploma entitling me to the profession of sommelier at the Association of Italian Sommeliers (AIS)<\/span><\/strong> and this now allows me to combine my two passions that are love for art and love for food and wine of my land<\/a>. In 2018 I became professional ANAG GRAPPA TASTER\u00a0<\/strong>and in 2023 professional <\/span><\/span>ONAF CHEESE TASTER<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to be for you the key to discover this beautiful city and the land that surrounds it and to be able to turn your trip into a pleasant adventure without time to discover the treasures, traditions and culture that remain in the hearts of the people who come to visit it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
