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.
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!
Valentina
Cagliari
5.0(1)Hi there! My name is Valentina, I am an art historian, wine scholar and I come from south Sardinia, I currently live in Cagliari. I love traditions, my culture, I love exploring the mountains as much as sunbathing on white beaches. I like food and everything behind it, folklore and traditional dresses. My goal is to tell my island, my land, with all the love and passion possible, to show a Sardinia that is not very touristy but also its grandeur and uniqueness.
damiano
Cagliari
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.
Walter
Cagliari, Olbia +3
Hi! My name is Walter, I live in Cagliari, the capital of beautiful Sardinia. My family has Sardinian roots going back many generations, and like many locals, I feel deeply connected to my homeland. As a native Sardinian, I know the island inside and out — its places, traditions, customs, food, wine, and everyday way of life. Over the past 20 years, more visitors have discovered the historical, architectural, and natural beauty of Cagliari, and I’d be happy to help you experience it in an authentic and complete way. I have a degree in Political Science and International Relations, specialising in Social Innovation and Communication, and I’ve worked as a tour leader in Cagliari for the past four years. Before that, I spent 15 years in retail promoting Sardinia’s excellent food and wine, so I can also guide you through the best traditional dishes and drinks. I’m an eclectic person who loves travel, sport, good food, nature, and connecting with people. Contact me if you’d like help planning your trip to Sardinia — I’d be happy to share my local knowledge with you.
