About Us

We're a small team of fellow travelers who are passionate about experiencing Italy (and the world) in an authentic, sustainable, and local way.

We think that local people and communities should be at the front and center of travel to their regions and that they should be the primary beneficiaries of tourism, not just huge corporations. Not only is this arrangement best for the destination, it's also better for travelers.

Because we want to offer tours and experiences that are unique and insightful, and totally distinct from today's mass tourism model of checklists, must-sees, and instagrammable places, we only work with highly experienced local guides who have made exploring (and sharing) their cities and regions their life's work.

We believe in travel that's good for the planet and good for travelers too!

In addition to Guides of Italia, we also run Go Ask a Local!
