Discover and enjoy the authentic Puglia. Welcome in Puglia (or Apulia): the sunny and windy "heel of the Italian boot". We are Italy's easternmost region, right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea with culture and traditions that are the results of several different dominations, cultural and economic influences. First of all I'm a traveler (for leisure and work) and I like to discover foreign countries and their culture, traditions, food, people, etc. I have been working in tourism since 1998 as travel designer, event organizer, licensed tourist guide, nature (hike and bike) and interpretive guide, tour leader, food and wine lover (olive oil taster, wine sommelier). I'm passionate about my region and I like to share our amazing attractions and culture with other people. Puglia is an "easy region": the weather is quite warm all year long (the best time to come is from March to November but it's worth to come also in winter time), people is friendly (… but only a few people speaks English or another foreign language), there are always lots of events and things to do and our Mediterranean diet is healthy and tasty for everybody (amazing choice of tasty meat, fish, pasta, rice, legumes, vegetables and fruit recipes). Travelers who come for the first time in Puglia usually are fascinated by the Puglian daylight and the colours of the seaside and the countryside. I'll share with you the soul of Puglia, its culture, traditions, flavors, nature, scent, vibes . . . If you're looking for an hyper detailed and boring visit I'm not the tour guide for you but if you like a friendly and easy going person who will make his best, thanks to his experience and empathy, to understand and satisfy your needs, to suggest the right choices matching with your interests, to introduce in our culture and traditions, to help you in spending a very nice time … then contact me. I'm a licensed tour guide, nature (hike and bike) guide, environmental educator; wine sommelier, certified olive oil taster, tour leader. Education and training: University degree with experimental final essay (with photographic appendix) in Geography about Apulian rural buildings (masseria, villa, trullo); Master in Tourism Economics and Management; Professional training courses: tour guide, nature and interpretive guide, environmental educator, bike guide, bicycle mechanic, BLSD (Basic Life Support Defibrillation), inclusive and accessible tourism; Cooking, wine and extra virgin olive oil tasting classes; Workshop about recognition of Apulian wild orchids; Photography's workshop about show and Entertainment, nature. PLEASE WRITE ME BEFORE BOOKING (this way we will be sure the tour will match perfectly your needs in terms of price, service included, date, start time, duration, etc.). THIS WAY IS EASIER AND FASTER FOR YOU AND ME.

Thanks to my long-standing (more than 20 years) experience in tourism (as travel designer, licensed tour guide, nature guide, olive oil and wine sommelier), to my empathic personality, the enthusiasm for my job, the deep knowledge of my homeland, we can design together an itinerary completely personalized depending on your needs and interests. The most popular tailor made tours are related to: - Ancestry: starting from the second half of the 19th century lots of people leave from here looking for a better life. - Jewish heritage: here there is one of the oldest in Europe. - Memories of WW2. - Folklore and special events: Holy Week rites, carnival, opera festival. - Architecture and archaeology: liberty style, rural buildings (Masseria, trulli), coastal watching towers, castles, megalithic buildings, pre-roman and roman archaeological sites. - Photography and movies. - Nature: wild orchids, birdwatching, boat trip. - Food: cooking classes, truffle hunting, fishing excursions, culinary experiences, harvest.
Depending on your needs and special interests we can plan in advance and design your tailor made tour. For instance, for a genealogy tour I can research your family roots, we can visit the places where your ancestors spent their childhood, we can pray on their thumbs, I can help you to find and meet your living relatives, to get the birth certificate of your ancestors (as memorabilia or to apply for the Italian citizenship). In a similar way, I can take you on the airfield where your ancestor spent some time during WW2 as soldier or to discover the interesting Jewish heritage of this area, etc. With the same attention to detail, I can organize the schedule of your bespoke experience focused to satisfy your needs and to optimize your time.
