I am Damiano Usala, born in Cagliari and raised in the city (somehow I lived in London, Florence and Olbia). The last 15 years I have been working in tourism. First as a web marketer (blog editor/social media manager and copy), then as a travel agent and tour operator (hiking/bike tour) and finally - last 6 years - as a teacher (cooking class in Cagliari) for culinary sessions for tourists, corporate teams, or locals.

Their expertise · I can provide a general introduction of Sardinia tips and tricks. Based on your type of expectations you may like tips for events, or beaches or local culture and in particular what to try for food and wine.

I’m a true “slasher”, driven by curiosity and a wide range of experiences that blend international cooperation, human resources, management, education, technology and tourism. Travel has been part of my identity for as long as I can remember. After growing up in a family of travelers, I started exploring the world on my own at the age of 14. Since then, I have embraced many different ways of traveling : volunteering, woofing, road trips, city breaks, shaolin immersion program, cruising, bike tours, wine expeditions, professional workshops, hiking, bivouacking and even canoe and boat trips, and much more are coming. For me, travel is not only about discovering new places; it is an opportunity to reinvent yourself, gain new perspectives, and grow through meaningful encounters. For the past two years, I have been working as a travel coordinator, designing, leading and facilitating groups around the world with one mission : creating exceptional human connections through adventure. My life is an adventure, come join me !

Their expertise · Through my multicutural background and my passion for experiential travel, I’m able to guide solo travelers as well as families, groups of friends, and adventurers seeking meaning. I particularly enjoy helping those who want to venture off the beaten path, have authentic experiences, and connect with local cultures. My expertise includes solo travel, adventure travel, immersive experiences, itineraries, trips that combine cultural discovery and personal growth, as well as organizing group trips. I use to manage everything from A to B. My goal is to design trips that go beyond a simple itinerary and become true human adventures. Also passionate about innovation, I’ve developed a travel application that centralizes all the practical tools needed for a trip and includes an immersive game to transform every itinerary into a truly memorable experience. I’d be delighted to share these features with new travelers !

I’m Chiara, a licensed tour guide and architect with a deep knowledge of Sicily and its unique urban identity. My background in architecture allows me to read the city in a different way, going beyond monuments and landmarks to understand how spaces, history, and people are deeply connected. Palermo is a city of layers, and I love unveiling them through stories, details, and hidden corners that are often overlooked. Over the years, I have explored Sicily extensively, both professionally and personally, developing a strong connection with its neighborhoods, its culture, and its everyday life. I don’t just guide tours. I create experiences that help travellers feel the true spirit of the city. From vibrant markets to quiet alleys, from street art to historical architecture, I aim to show a Palermo that is authentic, dynamic, and full of contrasts. My goal is to make every traveler feel like a local, even if just for a few hours.

Their expertise · What I offer is more than just information, it’s a thoughtful and authentic way to plan your experience in Palermo. Through personalised advice, recommendations, and local insights, I help you design an itinerary that truly reflects the city’s identity and your own travel style. Whether you’re looking for must-see highlights or hidden corners, I provide guidance on what to visit, how to visit it, and when, so you can make the most of your time in Palermo. My background allows me to offer a deeper reading of the city, not only pointing you towards places, but helping you understand their meaning, their context, and how they connect within Palermo’s unique urban and cultural fabric. From historic streets to vibrant markets, from street art to everyday life, I’ll guide you in building a coherent and enriching experience, even before you arrive. I also focus on helping you create memorable moments through your own journey: recommending local food experiences, authentic spots, and alternative routes that go beyond the standard paths. My goal is simple: to help you feel connected to Palermo, not just as a visitor, but as someone who truly understands and experiences the city.

I’m a licensed Italian tour guide with over 20 years of experience, based in Milan and deeply connected to Palermo. I don’t just “know places”, I understand how they work, how they feel, and how to help you experience them in a way that makes sense for you. I’ve worked with international travelers, small groups, luxury clients, and independent explorers, so I know how different every journey can be. Milan is my daily life: I know its rhythms, its hidden corners, and how to navigate it beyond the obvious. Palermo is part of my roots and professional path, a city I know in depth, not only its beauty, but also its complexities. What most travelers miss? The balance between iconic highlights and the authentic experience of a place. I help you avoid stress, wasted time, and tourist traps, and instead build a trip that feels smooth, meaningful, and personal. I especially love working with curious travelers who want more than a checklist … people who want to understand, not just see.

I’m Valerio, a licensed tourist guide based in Venice and the founder of deTourist. I was born in Italy but spent many years living and working abroad before returning to Venice to focus on cultural heritage and storytelling. With a degree in Cultural Heritage Management from Ca’ Foscari University and several years of experience guiding international travelers, I specialize in private tours that go beyond the usual highlights. My goal is to help visitors experience Venice as a living city, not just a destination. I design experiences that connect art, history, local life, and craftsmanship. From hidden neighborhoods and artisan workshops to the islands of the Venetian lagoon, my tours focus on authentic places and meaningful encounters with the culture of Venice. I speak English, German, Italian, and Spanish, and I enjoy adapting every experience to the interests of my guests - whether they are visiting Venice for the first time or returning to discover a different side of the city. For me, supporting you is not just about sharing information. It is about creating memorable moments and helping you see Venice through the eyes of someone who truly lives here.

Their expertise · I help travellers plan meaningful experiences in Venice and the Venetian Lagoon with practical local knowledge and insider recommendations; • I can assist with itinerary planning, choosing the right neighborhoods to explore, and avoiding the most crowded routes. I offer advice on museums, historical sites, artisan workshops, and lesser-known places that many visitors miss. • I can also help recommend private experiences such as guided walking tours, island visits (Murano, Burano, Torcello), food experiences with local specialties, bike tours in the lagoon, and cultural visits focused on art, architecture, or local traditions. • Travelers often ask me for recommendations about authentic restaurants, wine bars, and hidden corners of Venice that are loved by locals. • I’m also happy to provide practical tips about transportation, vaporetto routes, and how to move around the city smoothly. Whether you are visiting Venice for the first time or returning to explore it more deeply, I can help you design a personalised plan that matches your interests and makes your stay more enjoyable and stress-free. ✨

I've travelled 127 countries in the world since I left home at the age of 17. I am Puglian, Mediterranean, Italian and citizen of this Planet Earth. Since 2021 I have been based again in my home region of Puglia. My international travels, work abroad, and infectious passion for our land and people, have placed me in a unique position to share the deep roots and beauty of a region still in its infancy with respect to welcoming foreign travellers.

Their expertise · Beyond being an expert local guide, I am also a custodian of our land, with a passion for gastronomy, wine and above all, how we produce in harmony and respect with terra madre. I am an experienced sommelier of wine, olive oil and gratefully thanks to my mother, an authority on our best local flavours. If you desire an experience of Puglia that reaches deeper than the photos and checklists of must-see sights, it is my pleasure to share my knowledge and perspectives. It is my intention to share experiences that go beyond the typical guidebook to give you a true sense of what makes Puglia (and Italy) unique and to create memories of a lifetime. You'll return to your home and look at life, food and the world a little differently!

I was born in the picturesque village of San Quirico, located in the hills between the Chianti Classico and Chianti Colli Fiorentini regions. I spent my childhood and early youth there until my schooling and university took me to Florence. In the area, I always experienced the typical way of life of these places, taking part in village festivals, sagre and exhibitions that brought something new and promoted the area; but this wasn’t limited to where I was born, but extended to many parts of Tuscany. Thanks to the friendships I’ve built over the years, I’ve been able to broaden my horizons and get to know the region even more deeply: termal springs, hiking, wild camping, local specialities and hidden gems hard to find on any social media platform, exhibitions and events.

Their expertise · • Advice on outdoor experiences and hiking across Tuscany. I’m familiar with key stages along tipical trails ( like Via Francigena and Cammino degli Dei), including scenic viewpoints, local stops, and lesser-known highlights that elevate the overall experience. • Seasonality-driven exploration, with hands-on knowledge of when and where to find local, wild, and seasonal products (e.g. foraging areas, harvest periods), enabling more authentic and time-specific travel experiences. • Design and discovery of outdoor activities, including hiking, wild camping, and off-the-beaten-path itineraries. I focus on uncovering hidden gems that are not easily found on mainstream platforms. • Strong awareness of environmentally valuable areas, supported by a background in Forestry Sciences. This allows me to approach tourism with a sustainability mindset and a deep understanding of local ecosystems. • Strong network and knowledge of small- to medium-scale local wineries, with the ability to connect travelers directly with producers for intimate, authentic wine tastings and behind-the-scenes experiences.

As a certified Tour Leader, I've had the incredible privilege of guiding groups from all over the world across Italy and Europe. I adore my country, and over the years, I've realized that my favorite role is being a bridge between travelers and the true soul of a place. Today, I invite you to experience this through my eyes. Whether you need a customized itinerary for your trip or a cultural deep-dive anywhere in Italy, I am here to help you live the best experience of your vacation. I’m waiting for you! Let’s plan something beautiful together.

Their expertise · What I offer: • Expert travel assistance and consultation • Customized itinerary design • Immersive cultural experiences and local insights • Warm, genuine hospitality that makes you feel at home I look forward to welcoming you to Italy!

Hi, I'm Shelby, an American (Californian, to be specific), living in Paris since 2019. I editorialize my life in France, my hard-earned cultural lessons, restaurant explorations, and frequent faux pas on my Substack, Franchement. Enjoying food, wine, art, and history in Paris are my favorite hobbies, and I'm happy to share tips and visit ideas to make your stay feel like you're a true local.

Their expertise · My expertise includes Paris restaurants and wine bars, museums and cultural stops, kid-friendly activities (sometimes difficult in Paris), all from the perspective of someone who lives here. Beyond just ideas of where to visit and dine, I provide context on public transport, timing, and overall vibe to shorten the learning curve and ensure you have an enjoyable experience. Most critically, I can also tell you what to skip, because we all know that, sometimes, a great vacation depends on what you say no to, instead of having a packed itinerary.

So, just like me, you'll appreciate Rome as an open-air museum, for its historical heritage but also for its truly inspiring atmosphere.
