I am passionate about travel and have been working in the tourism industry for about 20 years. I have worked with tourists of different nationalities and in different countries. These experiences have taught me to introduce the various destinations and attractions, the sounds and the incredible experiences to the tourists who travel with me. I am a licensed tour guide, as well as a tour leader and technical director of a travel agency. I am qualified in Italian, English, French, Spanish and Russian. My mission is to share my passion for tourism and travel with others. I believe in the importance of experiencing the places you visit and seeing much more than the usual tourist sites.
