Loris

Hello fellow travellers! I’m Loris, experienced tour guide and travel designer from Bassano del Grappa, a small gem in northern Italy between the Dolomites and the Venetian plains. I’ve also spent several years in Treviso (the capital of Tiramisù) and Como, and these places are still my main reference when it comes to Italy: food, landscapes, and how locals actually move through them.

Over the last years I’ve lived between a few European and Asian cities, but I keep coming back to Italy regularly and know it well beyond the typical highlights. I focus a lot on how places really work on the ground: where to stay depending on your vibe, how to avoid the obvious tourist traps, and how to stitch together experiences that actually feel like the place.

I spend most of my time outdoors: sailing in the Mediterranean, diving, snowboarding in the Alps, hiking in the Dolomites; so trips I design tend to lean into an explorer vibe, surrounded by nature and hidden gems, and a bit off the usual routes. At the same time, I’m big on food, markets, and those simple local spots that end up being the best part of a trip.

So, are you ready to pack your bags and embark on an incredible journey? Let's explore Italy together and create lasting memories, one meal and breathtaking landscape at a time!

I believe the best way to see Italy is with a bit of salt on your skin or dirt on your boots. Let’s build an itinerary that actually feels like an adventure.
I’m for the traveler who wants to earn their pasta. If you’re looking for a standard bus tour, I’m probably not your guy. But if you want to spend your day skiing/hiking in the Dolomites, hidden in a vineyard in Tuscany, hopping between Italy’s most iconic spots and hidden local haunts and learning to cook authentic carbonara - we’re going to get along great.

My Specialties:

• The Adventure Junkie: Expert-level planning for hiking, snowboarding, and trekking. I know the trails because I’ve stepped on them.

• Water & Sails: From scuba diving hidden reefs to navigating the Mediterranean, I’ll get you off the land and into the blue.

• Solo & Group Dynamics: Whether you’re planning a solo escape, a romantic trip as a couple, or coordinating the “trip of a lifetime” with friends, I help build experiences that match your pace, interests, and travel style; without the stress of figuring everything out yourself.

• The “Real” Italy: From the Dolomites and Lake Como to the Mediterranean coasts, I specialize in helping travellers experience Italy beyond the obvious. My strongest local knowledge is in Veneto and northern Lombardy places like Venice, Milano, Verona, Padova, Bassano del Grappa, and Lake Como; but also across some of Italy’s most beautiful coastlines, from Sicily and Capri to Cinque Terre and the Tuscan coast. The goal is always the same: helping you discover the places, food, and experiences that most travellers miss.

• Culinary Deep-Dives: Forget tourist traps. I’ll connect you with local cooking classes and food explorations that actually taste like Italy.
