Benvenuti!
I'm professoressa Lisa,
Italian language instructor,
interpreter and adventurer!
Inspired by the Slow Food Movement
and my Italian students,
I began to create authentic Italian adventures.
My motto is Go Local, Know Local.
We take the time to discover what makes a place unique.
I want my guests remember what they did and who they met.
There is no blur of cities and monuments.
We go slow. We eat and drink slow.
We travel well.
What makes my itineraries unique?
It's the people you will meet and the access you have to them:
a colorful cast of locals: special guest chefs, authors, artists,
guides, farmers, archaeologists ...my friends.
And they are all passionate about sharing their vibrant culture with you.
Engage, laugh, eat, drink and sing with vibrant locals
in unspeakably gorgeous natural settings,
all off the beaten tourist track.
Take advantage of my 30-year relationship with Italy.
Travel with someone who really knows the place
and speaks (and teaches) the language.
I want to share with you the people and the places I love most.
Let's make it happen!

🇮🇹 ROME, If You Want To! (Available year-round.)
Are you flying in or out of Rome and seek a deeper dive into the Eternal City? Contact Lisa and get ready to travel.
ROMA: Five days/ Four nights. (Can be adapted to 3 nights)
Explore a side of the Great Beauty not found in most guide books.
You will stay at the center of at all, with accommodations located a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Guided explorations will render you giddy: the Underground Colosseum and City Center; Caravaggio's in situ masterpieces, movie-star fountains and piazzas, an evening in Trastevere, the majestic Pantheon, and the Talking Statues of Rome.
Take a day trip outside Rome's ancient city walls to a fascinating and historical cemetery found alongside Porta di San Paolo, where great poets like Yeats and Keats lay. Then head west to a port town whose Roman Ruins rival those of the more famous Pompeii.
Activities and itinerary can be adapted. Air travel and ground transport to hotel is not included.
🇮🇹 The New Neapolis. NAPOLI! (Available year-round.)
You must visit Napoli-- and you must go with Lisa. Napoli can seem a bit overwhelming, especially if you don't speak Italian. So, why not let Lisa be your guide and ease you into its robust embrace? Lisa's 30-year love affair with Napoli still burns bright and will always be forever young
Lisa came to Naples to study the theatre of playwright Eduardo De Filippo. And theater is what she got! She jumped into the wild currents of the mythical city the Pompei that was never buried.
Breathtakingly beautiful, a complex menagerie of light and dark, magic, music, color and chaos, Napoli is a resilient, wild and woolly. It seems to be all the rage these days-as Stanley Tucci, Time Magazine, CNN Travel and the New York Times come in for a whirlwind 3 day visit, then boast that they've "discovered" this 3000-year-old open air Wonderland.
Lisa can suggest a variety of accommodations, located in prime locations. She's eager to share some of her many favorite places, many of which the locals don't even know about: artist studios; Greco-Roman ruins- above and below ground; walks on the wild side from Napoli's highest point, back down to sea level, through narrow streets teeming with Neapolitans and a burgeoning street-art scene and open-air markets. Visit the world's only remaining example of Ancient Greece's interior decor; the impressive in situ masterpiece by Caravaggio; the uber authentic Sanita' District, the romantic Santa Lucia district, and on and on.
