Amazing and informative trip throughout Trieste - historical and cultural exploration!
Jerome is a great tour guide with a passion for Trieste and history! He is a great English speaker (an Aussie, if I remember correctly!) and provided great insight to our stops and was able to work around a funeral procession that blocked some of the tour route (with all respect obviously). We made our way all over the town and felt like we understood the city culture and history much better after our first trip there!

Trieste a beautiful discovery
We were lucky and pleased to discover Trieste with Eugenia... an already beautiful city has become even more interesting thanks to our guide Eugenia who, with her professionalism and enthusiasm, guided us through the city telling us its story and describing with passion the streets, churches and the most beautiful views.
We recommend this visit formula that allows you to optimize the time available and discover a beautiful city.

Great guided tour: perfect to discover Trieste
Perfect guided tour to discover Trieste: Eugenia took me to all the emblematic places of the city (museums, churches, historical monuments...), but also to the most secret places, less known to tourists and appreciated by the triestins. She explains the history of the city, as well as its culture, its gastronomy... It is very easy to ask her questions and she gives many recommendations and tips to spend a few days in the city. I highly recommend this guided tour!

Memorable visit with Eugenia!
Eugenia took us back in time on our visit to the Aquiliea site. She knows her region at her fingertips. We have a very good memory of it.
Grazie!
