    My daughter and I had a wonderful and memorable experience with Elbrich. We were picked up at Gorizia train station in Friuli and then drove to beautiful scenic vineyard sites. Elbrich chose a beautiful castle for a wine tasting - the Castelo di Spessa. We toured the bunker and tasted 4 of their wines. Had a delicious plate of meats and cheeses too! Then we went to Miramare Castle on the Adriatic coast. We were dropped off in Trieste. Elbrich is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We definitely recommend hiring her!

    Our cruise ship disembarked in Trieste instead of Venice. Therefore, our travel agent arranged for us to have this wonderful walking tour with Elbrich. Who knew there was so much history within this beautiful city! We spent two and half hours walking around the central part of the city learning all about its history, culture, and architecture. Elbrich was knowledgeable and charming and we highly recommend her services. You won't be disappointed.

    This walking tour of Trieste was rich with the history of the area while walking amongst many of the most important sites! Most of the walk is not too challenging. The only exception is the walk to the Cattedrale do San Giusto Martire, which is all uphill. But the view of the city is worth the effort!
