Meet your Host
Alessandro Perrone

I am a licensed tour guide as well as a wine and olive oil sommelier. I live in the sunny and windy Salento: the southern and peninsular part of the region. It is the Eastern Italian region, right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea with culture and traditions that are a result of the different influences, trades, and dominations. I’m a traveler (for leisure and work) and I like to know foreign countries and their culture, customs, food, etc. I have been working in tourism for about 15 years in different sectors: tourist guide, tour leader and travel planner either for free individual travelers either for leisure groups through tour operators either for incentive and congress travelers coming from the USA, Canada, Australia, and Europe and traveling or cruising in Italy and interested in art and history, archaeology, culture and traditions, wine and gastronomy, nature, photography, opera, religion, and spirituality). I love my region (Puglia) and I like to share our wonderful attractions and culture with other people. Travelers who come for the first time in Apulia usually are fascinated by the Apulian daylight and the colors of the seaside and the countryside. If you like a friendly guide who will make his best, thanks to his experience and empathy, to understand and satisfy your needs, to suggest the right choices for your interests, to introduce in our culture and traditions, to help you in spending a great time, then join me.
