Vincenzo Granato
Originally from Milan, I take care of preparing customised itineraries for our travellers, focusing on authentic and local experiences in Italy. The way I make travellers discover Italy is by organising tailor-made trips, listening to their preferences and desires and combining them with our featured destinations and experiences by mixing off-the-beaten paths with some highlights that cannot be missed out. My approach toward travel really depends on the person I am talking with and the personality that characterises him/her. Travelling is a really personal way of expressing himself/herself and this should be taken into account when we formulate an itinerary. Let's do it together and your trip to Italy will be unforgettable!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialise in many Italian places, such as Amalfi Coast, Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Naples, Milan, Venice and Sicily and Cinque Terre. The activities I propose are all customised and involve outdoor and indoor experiences like cooking classes, wine tasting at local wineries, guided tours with local guides, boat tours with native sailors and much more. We developed a strong network of partners around Italy that deliver high-quality experiences in special environments, totally linked with the local culture and tradition of the city or region they are working in. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Since I was a child, I showcase my curiosity for everything surrounding me, asking always many questions about what happened around me. It is the attraction toward multicultural thinking and diversity that led me to start organising events for international people during my university days where I develop new friendships with people coming from many countries in the World. It is my passion for connecting with people that pushed me to travel and live in five different countries in the last five years moving from Dublin, Sidney, Valencia, Kolding, Girona and then Milan, the city where I was born and where I recently came back. It is living abroad that made me understand the real beauty of my country, Italy and how much I wanted to share its values and wonderful authenticity with foreigners in a special and tailor-made way. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I will never forget my 2 years of experience abroad for my European Master in Tourism Management where I had the opportunity to travel and live in 3 different countries conducting projects with 25 people of many different nationalities.
I will also never forget the sunset I saw in Manly Beach, Australia, a place that fulfilled me with the strongest connection with nature.
