In giro tours

Deepen your connection to Italy in a way that is only possible when you travel with locals.

Ingrid Gaiotto and Luca Sartori introduced the genuine flavour of Italy to Castlemaine, Victoria when they opened their popular cafe, Origini. The response to Origini inspired them to present the authentic Italian experience to as many people as possible and how better to do that than take them home. This is Piemonte, an unspoilt and largely undiscovered region in the north west of Italy. In gi

ro tours opens up this beautiful part of Italy in a way that is deeply fulfilling. The accommodation, the cuisine, the beauty and the cultural encounters are unforgettable. There's nothing like traveling through this remarkable place with someone who knows it as home and can show you everything that is unique and unchanged. In giro takes you off the tourist trail and brings you the travel experience you've always dreamed of.

On the train towards the airport, towards Australia, I feel the essence of the last few weeks as a sunset musk and blue of far-off hills, Italianiate mist, which leaves its gentle imprint on my body and in my hair. Sometimes a trip is an impressionist painting we don’t get to keep but remember with longing.

Rooftop sonatas. Firenze la bellissima.

What if we were to define our lives (our values, our vocations, our preoccupations) by the views from our windows … Right at this moment, it’s Firenze’s roofscape.
