I am Italian and I have been living in London for many years. Before moving to England I spent a few years in Japan where I gained important professional and cultural experiences. After moving to London, I quickly set out exploring the many galleries, museums and neighborhoods. I fell in love with the city - there are so many hidden gems at every twist and turn that I want to share this with you! I’ve since qualified as a Blue Badge Guide in English, Spanish and Italian. Using my teaching experience in Japan and my experience creating educational toys in Italy, I will try to make learning as fun as possible. My mission is to show you the major monuments and hidden secrets of London, from the British Museum to the Tower of London, National Gallery, typical pubs, the East End, Hampton Court and much more. My passions? Art, reading, and languages.
