Meet Your Trip Leader
Ciao! My name is Alice and I am the leader for your trip in Apulia! Since I was a child, I always dreamed of traveling to far away places to discover their culture and unique beauty. Living and working in many countries around the world made me realize how fortunate I was to call Italy home. My enormous passion for Puglia led me to return. Here in this unique region of Italy, the smells and flavors, the traditions, and the down-to-earth people give me the feeling of being ‘a casa’. I’m now a professional tour leader with eight years of guiding experience. I love to build connections with local communities, providing the most authentic, genuine travel experiences. We’ll be like friends or family visiting as I introduce you to my favorite places and people in Puglia!
