After casually following Alida on TikTok, thinking her tips on Italy were interesting.. when she announced her 1st hosted group tour to Amalfi coast in June 2022, I jumped at the chance! Italy was always a dream and this was kismet. I have traveled with Alida FIVE times since then! Can you tell I’m hooked?! As an OG, not only do I appreciate the way she presents her trips, carefully curated, exploring & learning, off the beaten path etc but that first trip changed my life so much so that I will never stop going. She is knowledgeable, genuine, puts out any fire that may arise (sometimes before they are even seen by the group) fun and professional. She takes her job very seriously and cares about her guests experience. I have so far been to Amalfi coast, Tuscany, Sicily, Northern Italy & Puglia. Every time someone asks me which is my favorite trip, I have no answer.. I love them all for different reasons! I have gained so much from these travels but most of all a lifetime friend. I am already looking forward to my next trip! See you soon Alida, ti voglio bene. 100/5 stars. Group tour or personal travel, I highly recommend is an understatement.
