  • Visit Orta and San Giulio Island on July 20

    I would like to express my sincerest compliments to Alessandra, the guide who accompanied us yesterday, July 20, during the visit to Orta and the Island of San Giulio. It was simply impeccable: professional, competent, well organized and always attentive to the needs of each participant, managing to make us live a truly tailor-made day. It was a pleasantly relaxing experience, but at the same time rich in cultural content and curiosities about the territory. Alessandra was able to convey with passion and clarity all the value of these wonderful places. Thanks again for the wonderful day!

  • Unforgettable!!

    To visit Lake Orta and its surroundings, look no further. Alessandra has won us over since the response to our first contact, in which she seemed enthusiastic and dynamic. Professional, helpful, accompanied us with patience (for our questions and curiosity) and sympathy through the streets of Orta and on the Island of San Giulio, in the basilica and along the fascinating Via del Silenzio. From his stories we learned a lot, discovering a small jewel, of which we will always keep a wonderful memory. Personally I would not speak of a simple guided tour, because I did not have the impression - as sometimes happens - to be with a guide who explains what he has studied and who always tells the same story with each visit. Alessandra we allowed ourselves to immerse ourselves in an authentic experience, entering into a relationship with us. It seemed to be with a friend who with passion and enthusiasm tells us the story of her land and accompanies us slowly to discover these enchanting villages, always with great professionalism. We really spent a wonderful morning with her, also appreciating the friendliness and interest with which she accompanied us with some messages in the afternoon and the next day, knowing of our concern about the weather that threatened to be bad in the rest of our journey. We could not have hoped for better! Just a very pleasant experience.

    A magical journey made sublime by knowing that your sympathy has given. A combination of history, art and wonders of nature that you have told, with the heartfelt passion for your land, your lake, the poetry of a leaden sky that you have made sunny. Thank you Alessandra, you have been a precious viaticum on how to make a person fall in love with a place pulsating with its own magic! You can all go to Orta or the island, but without Alessandra there would be no sense... Wonder, you are Unesco World Heritage of International Guides!!!
