Imagine. An idea springs to mind one day to take a small group of people on a travel adventure to Italy, a country I had never visited.
Life is about being adventurous and Italy looked amazing.
Fast forward seventeen years and the passion, excitement, enthusiasm and love for Italy has only intensified through discovery, knowledge and experience. Now I cannot imagine life without Italy.
My greatest joy is being able to share all that I have learnt and experienced with anyone wanting to experience Italy like a local.
Journeys over the years have been created and tweaked to deliver experiences, often in places less explored, that are different, local and personal. Six months every year travelling the length and breadth of Italy with my small groups and researching new places when not on tour has given me a deep knowledge that is an integral part of every itinerary.
On a Ciao Italy tour there will never be more than 12 people. This means we visit tiny hilltop towns you may not have heard of; stay in hand-picked accommodation that is family owned and intimate; eat where the locals eat; meet beautiful Italians; travel in private vehicles to save time and have three night stays to truly experience the Italian way of life.
All you have to do is pack a bag and decide which part of Italy is beckoning! There are seven tours offering five different itineraries this year. A presto!!
