What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I live in central Italy and I love my land and my country! would you like me to list some of my favourite destinations or maybe my exciting experiences? Endless Tuscany with its many faces is always new when you get out of beaten tracks; green and unspoiled Umbria with friendly and welcoming people and pure natural colors, unrevealed Marche or maybe never-ending Rome with its astonishing surroundings? Glam places or secret corners? I can't make a ranking; a lot depends on the seasons, the length of your trip, your curiosity and your interests and your expectations, but we can discover all these details together. Would you like to meet local people? Bathe in creeks or secret coves, discover local artists before they become too famous? Taste very limited productions of typical products and fine wines? Admire panoramas from a hot air balloon or from unreachable mountains? Or you prefer a peaceful holiday, with attention to every detail, with all the comforts you've always wanted? A driver with a limo service to enjoy the luxury of ancient residences and exclusive clubs? "

How did you get involved in travel?

"Fabrizio and Susanna and me work together since march 2000 when we met by chance thanks to common friends with the strong determination of creating something different and to give a shape to our dreams. Then, own experience, creativity, passion and love for travelling and discoveries led us to build this tour operator, which is not work but fun and experiences to share"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Traveling around the world creates an immense archive of experiences to draw on even in the less cheerful moments. I have dozens of memories to share that friends often ask me to tell but the first that now comes to my mind is a series of wonderful dives I was able to do in tropical seas. I love scuba diving and I've been lucky enough to dive into the warm waters of Malaysia, Belize, Indonesia, Seychelles and more to swim with dozens of huge turtles, or with nurse sharks, or to see a shark point me straight at an island of Malaysia. Than I could talk about the desert, my great passion, as great as the one for the sea. A wonderful trek lasting a few days in the interior valleys of Sinai, in Egypt, where the colors of the rock and sand change during the hours of the day and the welcome of the nomadic peoples of the desert, with music, dance and tea flavored by desert herbs have an unforgettable taste. But then the trek in Perù immediately comes to my mind along the Camino de Inca to discover Machu Pichu. I will never forget when the clouds and fog lift just after dawn to reveal the remains of the city, the amazement is uncontainable. And you can sit on a low wall for hours, until sunset, contemplating the Horizon! Then, I can close this exciting list of memories with the Carnival in Salvador de Bahia....."
