Private Travel Companion · Italy Tailor Made
with Federico Prelati — your personal Italian guide
Bespoke journeys through Italy's most beautiful regions — crafted around you, accompanied by a knowledgeable local, free from crowds and cookie-cutter tours.
About Your Guide
Federico was born in Lazio into an Umbrian family and has spent decades travelling across Italy, Europe, and the world — both as a passionate explorer and as a humanitarian professional working in some of the world's most challenging environments (Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and more).
"Having lived abroad for many years, I understand first-hand what it means to navigate a foreign country. Now I want to share the beauty of mine — authentically."
Now settled near Lake Como with his family, Federico has earned his official Tourist Guide Certification (2025) and brings together a lifetime of curiosity, warmth, and local knowledge to create unforgettable Italian experiences.
He loves cooking (his homemade tagliatelle and tiramisù classes are legendary), trekking, skiing in the Dolomites, canoeing, and snorkelling — and he's happy to weave any of these passions into your itinerary.
