About Elena

I trained as a historian with a focus on how Trieste's cathedral was formed by joining two much older churches together, so San Giusto is where most of my filming happens. My other session climbs the hill to the castle beside it, built first by Venice and later expanded under Austrian rule, for a view over the port below. I like explaining how the two buildings on the same hill tell very different stories about who controlled the city. I keep a formal, detailed pace throughout.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
