About Tour Guide Gabriele C.
In the heart of a secluded paradise, where the waves kiss the shore and the horizon stretches endlessly, there lived a boy whose life was intertwined with the rhythms of the sea, the mountains and the wind.
I started exploring this Archipelago at a very young age, hiking the most mysterious trails and surfing the wildest waves.
When I was 16, I stole my father's dive mask and became fascinated with the underwater world of these islands.
Since I finished high school, I've started travelling around Europe to see different countries and meet different cultures.
Back in the land where I grew up, I set up my company to show travellers who come to visit this archipelago all the potential of it.
Let's share the most wonderful experiences together! Be my guest!
