Ilaria Gentiluomo

Biography

Ilaria Gentiluomo was born in Florence, surrounded by the beauty of the Renaissance. She grew up as an outdoor enthusiast as well as an art and history lover. She studied Performing Arts in Bologna, one of the world’s oldest universities, but soon her keen sense of adventure and wanderlust took her away from Italy. 

Ilaria then lived in London, working as a drama teacher and volunteering in social and educational projects about inclusion and disability. Soon her interest in learning about different cultures drew her towards the travel industry, while still teaching drama in public schools in Italy. She began her adventures in the world of tourism back in 2002, and since 2009 she has been leading tours through Europe as a licensed Tour Manager, sharing her passion for local traditions and celebrating a life of simple pleasures.
