 A Tour Leader guiding guests through ancient Italian ruins.

“Michele is a master of his craft – a true professional at what he does. He was super friendly and approachable and very easy to chat to. When we were driving around, he always had interesting facts and stories to tell us, constantly keeping everyone engaged. His good sense of humour and down-to-earth attitude made him the cherry on top for this amazing tour”

“Sonia, from the moment we met, it was clear that you are not just a guide but a storyteller with a profound connection to the places we visited. Your insights into the history, culture, and hidden gems of each location brought everything to life in a way that no guidebook ever could. Your ability to weave facts with engaging anecdotes kept us captivated and eager to learn more”
