Serina was wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable and personable. We learned about the history of Cortona and some about living in this area in the present.

The original person got caught in traffic, so substituted someone else. She was great! She grew up in Cortona and provided a ton of information on the history. Highly recommend!

Great tour of Cortona with Valeria

Published on Apr, 2024

We had a great tour with Valeria. It was wonderful to see Cortona through the eyes of someone whose family has been here for generations. Even though we have been here before, since she was a local, she took us to some great places that we didn’t know existed. She was incredibly gracious (even though we were a bit late) and showed us all over town. Thank you Valeria!
