Who we are
Andrea Traina and his team consisting of Alessandro Scherma, Francesco Doro, and Francesco Galante, are native Italians with a shared interest in traveling, having lived and traveled around the world. Andrea lived in Birmingham, Alabama for ten years, Alessandro worked in London, and Francesco spent six months each in Washington state, New Zealand, Germany. Their shared knowledge of Italy and surrounding countries makes for both insightful and exciting European tours.
Andrea Traina
While living in Alabama, Andrea found many connections who were interested in learning what he had to share about the Italian culture and language. He began teaching private Italian lessons, but much of the time in the class was taken up with questions about Italy, and someone suggested a workshop on weekends about getting ready for an Italian trip. So, in September 2011, he headed to Italy with his first tour group, and his career as a travel guide was born. Today, Andrea shares his passion for and knowledge of Italy and Europe as a whole with his guided tours.
