We recently took a tour with Valeria, to Polignano a Mare. She was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the city route that she chose and the many historical highlights. Her expertise brought the city alive for us. I would highly recommend her as a guide!
So grateful for your kind words Susan and Malcolm. Mille Grazie!
Valeria was an excellent guide. I learned a lot about the history of the old city, including details about the old fortifications. We strolled around and she spoke about the buildings in the main square and the relics and statues in the church. We then toured the new city and the magnificent views from different vantage points. The town is beautiful and the views tremendous. I highly recommend visiting and having Valeria as your guide.

Thank you Valeria
Thank you Fatima and Greg. I've spent a nice time with you too.
Valeria O Valeria, our family cannot express here how AWESOME this tour was! we started just thinking this was going to be another lecture type of tour, now this quickly change into an awesome experience! Valeria has a innate ability to deliver an incredible amount of history while establish an engaging conversation with all of us. Valeria was able to relate our interest with the tour and the places. We selected late afternoon/evening tour as the city of Polignano a Mare comes to life at night. Valeria heard us and deliver, as you see on the picture, places in perfect time to capture astonish moments. One after another, Valeria provided a very pleasant and caring experience like we were welcome by our very best friend in town that last until the very last coffee, which was unique from Polignano a Mare. In fact, Valeria courtesy, professional demeanor, ability to relate and integrate our interests to tailor the experience has gain our trust and we just hire her to do another tour with her tomorrow which we VERY MUCH look forward to (Monopoli Guided Tour). Once again THANK YOU Valeria! Carlos & Ana, Newport Beach California, USA.
