Travel with Parla Presto –
Discover the Italy most Americans will never find!
This year we will travel south of the Amalfi coast to Palinuro a small town in the Cilento coast. From there, each of you can choose your own special itinerary that I will help to customize.
Why Palinuro and the Cilento coast? Because it is a more special and authentic place than the Amalfi coast. So many tour operators and travel agencies organize trips there. We are neither tour operators, nor a travel agency: we are people who travel with a native to experience authentic Italy!
You will not be alone on this trip and there will not be a bus. You will be able to make your personal choices: our job is to customize and facilitate your trip.
Travel alone and we’ll find you nice company, travel with your friends and we will leave you alone!
