Calabria Italy trip planning service

Are you ready to explore the real Italy?

Calabria as a region is unknown and undiscovered. Even guidebooks on Italy rarely feature any detail on the area. But to help you uncover this hidden gem, I’m here to offer you completely personalised trip planning guidance. Whether you’re journeying to a tiny village to explore your Calabrian heritage, looking for the best farm-to-table restaurants that only locals go to, or wanting to avoid fighting for a spot on the busiest beach, I’m here to advise. I’ve lived and travelled across the whole of Calabria, and have local contacts in every province.

OPTION one

Personal Travel Planning

Planning a trip to Calabria but don’t know where to start? Struggling to decide whether to stay in the town or on the beach, how many days to spend in each area, and what transport option to take? With my Personal Travel Planner Service, for a fixed fee I will tailor a trip itinerary and include recommendations and guidance, with a fully customised day-to-day itinerary. Please note: As a travel planner, not a travel agent, I will provide all of the information you need for your trip, including links for direct booking. However, I do not book hotels, accommodation or activities for you.

OPTION TWO

Full Service Trip Booking

If you’re looking to have everything booked and taken care of by a travel specialist, I will connect you with one of my trusted tour operator partners. They are local experts who will develop fully-fledged itineraries, specialist tours, and give unique access to activities, as well as coordinating all of your accommodation and transport. This is the best option for those looking for a guide or driver, or small groups who want to include experiences such as the olive harvest or discover family roots. For the Full Service Trip Booking, you will book your bespoke package directly with a local Italian company — all of whom I know personally and have selected for their upmost service.

" We had an amazing time in Calabria. The Explore Calabria team were exceptional, their in-depth knowledge of the region is incredible. Everything they recommended was fantastic, from crema di limoncello in Badolato to kayaking the amazing coastline with Gianluca. I could not reccommend enough to experience the real Italy! "
