Claudia Ruschena

Qualified tour guide for Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta, the Borromean Islands and Stresa

Over than twenty years of experience!

I chose this job because it is always varied, rewarding and I am in contact with people. It is a profession I carry on with care and attention both for what concerns the given data and for the interpersonal relations. I undertake myself to adapt the programme to the interest of the guests (in this way I take care of them personally) and I am glad to answer to the numerous questions. Guided tours include arts and history, botany and anecdotes, so as to keep the interest lively and to leave to the guests, who often communicate me their appreciation, a nice memory of the visited resorts.
