Monica est une super guide, très agréable et passionnée ! Elle a été prévenante et enjouée tout du long et nous avons passé une superbe journée dans les ruelles de Bussana, bercés d'anecdotes et de délicieux paysages. C'est véritablement un lieu unique emprunt d'une certaine magie que nous avons pu mieux comprendre grâce à cette visite guidée.

The experience was simply amazing. Monica is a great guide and her communication skills and client orientation are impeccable. There was no free spot for a time slot that I wanted to book initially, so I contacted Monica on Airbnb and she replied very quickly and suggested a new time slot that wasn’t listed on Airbnb and it turned out to be a completely private tour for me but still for the same price. Monica was very helpful and welcoming. She adapted the meeting point to my needs.
The tour itself was great and very unique, the traditional path to Bussana Vecchia that she chose is just marvelous and gives a feeling that you’re in the past. The walk around Bussana and a few talks with the artists were also lovely. A small lunch was a great finale for the tour. Even though the tour was just 3 hours I felt like I learned so many new things and so much beauty as if it was a whole day.
Monica is an amazing person. She has a lot of knowledge about the region,the history and also has plenty of personal stories that she likes to share. Moreover she gives plenty of recommendations for your trips in the region. Monica made my morning simply perfect.
So I definitely recommend the tour. Be ready for a lot of uphill walking, but it’s manageable and incredibly beautiful. However be sure to wear very comfortable shoes and take a lot of water with you.

Une expérience à recommander. L'idée de monter à pied au village par le chemin muletier est vraiment excellent, on a l'impression de remonter le temps. Monica connaît vraiment bien son sujet. Elle a su intéresser nos ados et n'a pas hésité à élargir les débats lorsque nous lui posions des questions périphériques.
