About DS Journeys
“To see the wonder in the eyes of my clients facing a new place, a work of art, a craftsman dedicated to his work, an Italian grandmother working pasta following a family tradition… has always moved me”
DS Journeys
The project DS Journeys was born from the desire to exploit my years of experience as a travel advisor and planner. I also worked as a tour guide in various Italian and American realities and in different periods of my life. After my degree in foreign languages, I specialized in research in tourist marketing, collaborating with ENIT (The Italian Agency for Tourism). I have gained experience with internationally renowned wineries. I have perfected my experiences as a travel planner in the United States (in New York, Pittsburgh, Boston, Chicago, Phoenix and Los Angeles), working for important restauranteurs and American food ambassadors. I also worked for travel agencies and tour operators.
The network I developed in the years, my knowledge, the relationships I made, together with my intense attention to details, will design for you a new type of travel. I will transform your “Made in Italy” experience into something more exclusive: both as a whole and in its smallest details. Services, lodgings, transfers, experiences, relaxation, private tours with the best guides, wine tours, local food, all is meticulously researched. In a plan like those I conceive; nothing can go amiss. Everything is studied, organized and developed with precision, reliability and transparency in economic transactions as well. My experience is at your service to satisfy the passions, requests, desires and requirements of the travelers and of those with curiosity to choose and discover a dream called Italy.
DS Mission
I am certain that, like yourself, one travels to have the feeling of being “at home”. To experience art and nature and to be moved in front of a view of a valley or the noble façade of a palace, a sunset by the sea. To marvel about the more typical communities and most exclusive and hidden corners that characterize Il Bel Paese. DS Journeys was born with this philosophy and from the passion for art and beauty so deeply rooted in Italy. With the managerial spirit and the methodical organizational skills acquired over the years, I want to surprise you with DS Journeys, making you explore the most typical, hidden, unknown and exclusive corners and communities of Italy.
Why travel with us?
For DS Journeys, it is the difference between a luxury trip vs. a simple vacation: it is something to try that makes us feel cuddled and catered to. At the same time, it is something that we can highly personalize to express our own individuality and style, considering the typical aspects of the places we wish to visit. To trust DS Journeys is to ask for tours, activities, services, and lodging that are unique and personalized to meet your own unique needs. It means to be able to enjoy without a care in the world the whole magical atmosphere of a sea village, of a city of rare beauty, of an ancient artisan’s shop, a typical trattoria or a mountain excursion. My purpose is to make you exclaim: “Wow, what a magnificent place!” We build with you and for you, tailoring like in a tailor shop a family trip between the Amalfi gulf and the olive groves of Puglia; an unforgettable honeymoon with the most romantic destinations; a trip among friends sharing funny experiences and memories in the Chianti region or in the Langhe of Piedmont; or a private boat tour where you can swim in crystal clear waters and savor onboard the catch of the day.
