Overview
We are one of the few tour operators in Italy that offer privately guided, full day tours of places throughout the region of Calabria which is an incredible, largely undiscovered area in Italy. In the area of Calabria, beautiful coastal towns and hill-top villages can be found and there is so very much to discover in this truly incredible area - the "toeof the Italian boot."
In fact, this is one of the first areas in Italy where we started operating tours, wedding and honeymoons to, since the owner of the company Jesse Andrews was living in the gorgeous resort town of Praia a Mare.
Here, she met a man who owns a delightful bed and breakfast in the town of Praia a Mare called Gaetano Calabresi and his wife Antonella and their 2 children.
Long-time family friends now, Gaetano and Jessica have been working together for over 14 years and in fact it was with Gaetano that we operated our very first tour in Italy!
Calabria is a difficult and somewhat particular area in Italy to navigate and it's better with a guide to understand the complex history, the narrow country roads and the incredible culinary delights to be hold.
