whitewashed architecture in seaside towns, lack of tourists, and farmland that
cascades into coastlines. It is a place where the union of art, food, and nature has

the land and culture. Join us as we venture to this western “gateway to the East”
and explore a lesser-known side of Italy the crowds have yet to find.

With a Boundless Journeys guide, your experience is that of friend and local adventurer. We believe strongly in working with
local guides, experts in the areas to which we travel, and they hold the keys to unlocking the hidden delights of your chosen
destination. Although you will never know they are at work—the mark of a truly great leader—our guides make magical
things happen and add a dimension to your trip that you could not experience on your own.
Over the years we have forged bonds with some of the best guides in the world, and we typically work with a small team
of guides in each region. You will be informed of the guide for your trip one month prior to your departure. Here are some
of the guides we work with in Italy.
MARIA MERLINI
Maria grew up in the Sicilian city of Catania and also speaks the local dialect.
She has traveled extensively herself and has previous experience working as an
international aid worker. She is passionate about showing off the wonders and
beauty of her beloved country, as well as introducing guests to the culture, food,
and way of life of Italian people. Maria currently splits her time between Sicily and
South Africa, where she is also a guide.
MICHELE SENSINI
Michele spends his life moving between Rome and a small village in the central
Apennines Mountains. After studying political science at university, he became a
journalist, producing tourism guides and promoting environmental conservation.
In 2004, he realized his dream of becoming a tour guide, combining his passion
for communication, nature, and history. Michele spends the time he is not guiding
exploring Rome with his wife. He looks forward to sharing his knowledge of Italy’s
history and culture with you!
