Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Silvia G.

Silvia was born and raised in Venice, and now lives in the Tuscany region of central Italy. While she is an architect by training, with an MA in History of Architecture, Silvia has more than 20 years of experience as a professional trip leader. She lived in Toronto, Canada, for over a decade and, since then, she has led both walking and bicycle trips throughout Europe. Now she guides trips in Tuscany and southern Italy—sharing her passion for her country with MT Sobek travelers. Silvia speaks Italian, English, and French.

Chiara P.

Chiara was born in Trieste and grew up in Milan where she achieved her degree in languages before changing her focus to geology. She then worked for a non-profit medical organization, as well as a multinational advertising agency. Having been initiated into different cultures at a relatively young age, Chiara developed a curiosity and passion for travel, and has been guiding with enthusiasm ever since.

Federico R.

Born in Milan, Federico became a certified guide in 2024. His connection to travel began roaming around Europe by train and motorbike. Shifting gears, he studied history and literature before embarking on a career in international business, learning how to lead and communicate with people around the world. He speaks Italian, English, and French. His free time is spent hiking, mountain biking, and adventuring with his daughter.

Minori has been renowned for its pasta production since the 16th century, and you\'ll get to see how local pastas such as fusilli furitani and ndunderi are made during a pasta-making demonstration. Round off the day with a visit to the Villa Romana di Minori, a splendid showcase of 1st-century Roman architecture. Return to Maiori for an evening at your leisure.
