Ciao, I am Shahla

San Gimignano, 2008

I am looking forward to being your personal guide on one of my tours of Italy.
 
I fell in love with it the first time I visited Italy at age 21. I have been back to Italy many times, the longest being one year (2007/08), during which I became fluent in the beautiful Italian language and travelled extensively across the country. I have also fully organised, and personally guided, trips for family and friends who visited me there, with the longest being for one month, covering lots of Italy from Venice to Sicily. 

I would now like to share my Italian travel experiences with other women by offering you affordable and small guided tours, selecting the most delightful parts of Italy.   

With my love of travelling, language skills, local knowledge and Italian friends there, I am confident that these small, women-only, tours will offer something intimate and special, and beyond what tourists generally experience.  It will provide a break away from the day-to-day busy life and where you can relax the mind & soul and feel and experience Italy with all your senses coming alive. While the tours last 11-12 nights, the memories and the friendship among the tour members will energise your life for a long time to come – I sincerely promise you that!

I have started this business after more than 20 years of senior advisory positions within the NZ public sector.  This public service experience has been a privilege and I look at it with pride.  The 2009 has been a fresh beginning for me and a year of great personal reward as I began to share my best experiences of Italy with tour guests. 

Having lived 8 years in the US (where I did my MBA and worked as a business woman in New York), 23 years in NZ and one year in Italy, and given my Persian origin, I consider myself an international citizen.  I feel that I have a multi cultural background which makes me flexible and adaptable in my approach, while being responsible to deliver a high quality service. This is what I am offering in my tailor-made tours.

No matter where in the world you live, whether you are married or single, if you are coming alone or with friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, my women-only tours offer you a fun trip.  You will have time to do what you want while enjoying the support and company of a small group of other women who are also passionate about Italy. 

Ready to take off?  Why not book one of my tours and let me be your personal guide to Italy... andiamo!
