I GO TRAVEL

I Go Travel is a family-run tour operator based in Italy. We value authentic slow living; we believe travel isn’t merely about seeing a place, but rather about exploring, learning, and living another life for the duration of a traveler’s journey. 

Whether you are looking to taste your way through Italy’s gastronomical history, learn authentic cooking techniques honed by centuries of tradition, or indulge in a wine tasting in a generations-old cellar, I Go Travel experiences are highly customizable to your tastes and needs.

Our priority is always to take travelers off the beaten path, far from the checklists and Instagram photo ops of Rome and Venice. In each of our trips, we will travel the forgotten corners, discover local favorites, and see the authentic Italian way of life—whether we are in the city, in the country, or in the middle of a multi-day trek through the Aosta Valley. Our travel experiences recall the nature of authenticity, the art of slow living, and the beauty of tradition in one of the most awe-inspiring and historic corners of the world.

14 amazing days in Italy

Alessandro was the best local guide we could dream of. He was very patient with us right from the beginning to understand our desires and after numerous discussions came up with the perfect 14 day itinerary. It included the breathtaking coastline of southern Italy to the historical sites of Rome and wine country in Tuscany and Torino, all of this would not have been possible without his meticulous planning. All the car chauffeurs were were extremely courteous and informative. The hotels he booked were all very charming. Thank you Alessandro and KimKim.

And Melissa showed us the amazing delicacies of vibrant Naples on our food tour. Through it all, Alessandro was our incredibly responsive trip coordinator. We’re so grateful that he was there every step of the way. Highly recommend him and his team! Working with Kim Kim made our trip a dream come true!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-hour walking tour in Rome with our highly professional tour guide Yevgen Lysenkov.
From the moment Yevgen picked us up at the hotel in Rome we felt his warm and inviting personality that highlighted our trip. He was accommodating, professional and personable. Having with us our 13-year-old grandson did not make the long walking tour easier! However, our boy felt that he was exploring the landmarks of Rome with a new friend and not just with the guide.

Having with us our 13-year-old grandson did not make the long walking tour easier! However, our boy felt that he was exploring the landmarks of Rome with a new friend and not just with the guide.

Yevgen has a deep knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of ancient Italy and made connections to modern Italy which made the archaic places come alive. This special way of presenting the places that Yevgen took us gave us a real appreciation of Rome and its place in history.

We truly rank Yevgen as one of our top tour guides and have already started recommending Kimkim and Yevgen to friends who are planning a trip to Rome.

Thank you so much for the memorable visit to Rome.

This past July my wife, daughter, and I enjoyed the most incredible trip through central and southern Italy. Francesca, our travel specialist, arranged wonderful hotels, engaging tours, and very reliable transfers. Our trip began in Rome at the 47 Boutique Hotel which, while small, was modern, charming, and ideally located. We were a short walking distance from Trastevere and all the sights in Centro Storico. Then, in Sorrento, we stayed at the Grand Hotel President which had stunning views of the coast. While there, we took trips to Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello with Colomba from I Go Travel. Colomba could not have been more friendly, and she was wonderful with our 10 year old daughter. We were also driven by her brother Giuseppe from Naples to Sorrento and then from Sorrento to Pescara. I would highly recommend Giuseppe (also from I Go Travel) for any transfer travel needed in Central/Southern Italy. In Pescara, the final leg of our trip, we stayed at Villa Maria Hotel which had gorgeous grounds, a delicious restaurant, and a number of beautiful pools. While in Pescara, we got to meet Francesca and thank her in-person for helping to arrange the ideal itinerary. From the planning to the trip itself, she was available, collaborative, and highly responsive. We will be forever grateful to her and all the guides for helping create a trip rich with such beautiful memories.
