About Tour Guide Lia P.

Hi everybody! I'm Lia, a qualified tourist guide, operating in Veneto area since 2000. I l was born in Vicenza, where I live with my family. I really love my job because it gives me the opportunity to meet several people, coming from different countries and share with them the beauties of my territory.

I studied at the university Literature and Foreign Languages in Verona and then I obtained after some examinations the licence to guide groups of tourists in Veneto. Passion for art, history and Italian culture is my "mantra" and then years of work offered me wonderful life experiences.

The "magic word" for me is slow tourism: just relax and enjoy your time in my company!

What will you discover? Vicenza and Padua, two great jewels of Veneto that will amaze you. Don't wait, choose the right tour and if you prefer something particular no problem: contact me and I 'm ready to build a tailor made tour for you! I'm looking forward to meeting you!
