    Cortona is a special place!
    Brian_C, Apr 2024
    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!

    Laura was a wonderful tour guide. She is very helpful, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour of a charming town rich with history.
    Great tour of Cortona with Valeria
    Sheldon_F, 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!
    Excellent Tour of Cortona

    Personable and knowledgeable, Laura gave us an excellent walking tour of Cortona. With a historical perspective of the Etruscan, Roman and Renaissance eras to recent times, she pointed out everything from the Etruscan stone walls to good restaurants and shopping opportunities.
    Worth it

    Our guide Pamela was just great. So much history and pride of her city to share with us. It was just the right amount of stopping and walking - hills we big but certainly doable and worth it!
    Wonderful

    The guide was great. Took us to the often not visited areas made if un for us. Also drove us to the top of the city to make it Easter on us
    Excellent private tour!

    Laura gave us an amazing tour of Cortona, sharing her enthusiasm & love of the area mixed with her knowledge of its history. All 4 of us enjoyed the conversation with her and the ability to have our many questions answered. Much better than a large group tour. We went several days into our visit, and she showed us areas we hadn't found in our own.
