Debora
Gubbio, Assisi +13
Hello, I’m Debbie. I was born and raised near Milan, in Northern Italy, but my family roots are in Southern Italy. Growing up between these two worlds gave me a deep appreciation for the diversity, traditions, and unique character that make Italy such a fascinating country to explore. Travel has always been one of my greatest passions. Over the years, I’ve explored countless destinations both in Italy and abroad, traveling as a couple and on my own. These experiences taught me that the most memorable places are often not the ones featured on the front pages of travel guides. What sets me apart is my passion for finding authentic experiences away from the crowds. I love discovering hidden villages, peaceful countryside retreats, scenic routes, and lesser-known places where travelers can truly slow down and connect with their surroundings. I know the Lombardy region particularly well, including its beautiful lakes and many overlooked corners that most visitors never get to see. I also have extensive knowledge of regions such as Tuscany and Umbria, where I’ve collected unique recommendations, local experiences, and hidden gems that go beyond the typical tourist itinerary.

Andrea
Latina, Rome +13
I'm Andrea, I have visited over 50 countries around the world. I speak English and Spanish, and traveling has always been my way of truly understanding how places work, not just seeing them. Despite this, Italy remains the place I'm most attached to. I've always lived and worked there, and over the years I've traveled extensively throughout the country: not as a tourist, but by immersing myself in local dynamics, getting to know the people, businesses, and regions firsthand. This is precisely what makes the difference. I've built a solid network of local contacts throughout Italy: entrepreneurs, professionals, and reliable operators, people I've worked with or know directly. These aren't generic suggestions, but real connections. I love Italy because it's incredibly diverse: each area has its own identity, rules, and opportunities. It's a country that can offer so much, but only if you know how to navigate it. I've invested years learning this firsthand, and today I can guide people in a practical, direct, and effective way. In short: I don't just offer advice, but access to a proven local network and concrete knowledge of the area!
Silvia
Ravenna, Ferrara +8
5.0(1)I’m an Italian travel consultant, licensed tour guide, and passionate traveler with over 20 years of experience helping visitors discover the real Italy. I was born and raised in Ravenna, the extraordinary city of mosaics, where I work as a licensed tour guide. My background in Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna deepened my love for mosaics and history, and I enjoy sharing this passion with travelers who want to experience Italy beyond the surface. I’m also a certified environmental hiking guide and tour leader, and I love combining culture, nature, and authentic local life. When I travel, or design experiences for others, I’m always looking for inspiring museums, beautiful landscapes, great food, and memorable wines. In recent years I’ve also started hosting cooking classes in my home, where guests learn traditional Italian recipes and enjoy genuine Italian hospitality. While Ravenna and Emilia-Romagna are my home base, I also offer travel expertise for Sardinia, especially the province of Oristano, an area I know and love for its wild coastline, traditions, and authentic culture.
