"Anyone can tour Italy, but only a few can tour Italy "Salvatore Style". It includes an infectious smile greeting you each morning with a "buongiorno" and asking the question "Are you ready for the adventure that lies ahead?" Passionate enthusiasm drives his desire to introduce each traveler to the sights, sounds, treasures and cultures surrounding them, always with a playful sense of humor. "Why not?" becomes more than just a question, but a feeling that anything is possible on any given day, a challenge to embrace life and enjoy the ride! Navigating easily around the hustle, bustle and unexpected obstacles is a daunting task that Salvatore undertakes always with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. "

"Born, educated and raised in Genoa, northern Italy, after my classical studies I followed my passion for languages. The idea was always to travel and learn from other cultures. Becoming a Tour Director was a natural consequence of all my passions. I can now say that the Globus Family of Brands have represented a very important part of my life, and still are like a family for me. My role is giving and receiving, every day is a different day, but what I can say is that meeting people is the most fascinating part of it. Unforgettable memories leave a sign!"
