Our Story
Allegro Cultural Tours is about making our world a better place by creating meaningful travel experiences that connect people and culture. It's about opening minds and hearts over shared encounters, exchanges, meals, and more. It’s about spreading wings, broadening horizons, and deepening our sense of place wherever we go.
This journey began decades ago when I ventured abroad with no cell phone or Google. I was in awe of the Swiss Alps, Tokyo, and villages in Peru. Everything felt new and exciting! I loved the diversity, languages, currencies, and culture. Yet, my greatest inspiration and joy came from the people I met and spent time with.
Since then, life has taken turns, but I continue to connect the world through travel. Along the way, I have sold elephant treks in Asia, studied culture and linguistics, taught ESL, run a restaurant, and been a tour operator specializing in music and performance tours for over 20 years. I have led group tours for hundreds of delightful people!
Allegro Cultural Tours is an exciting next step on my journey, but I am not alone. To every traveler, colleague, and friend, who asked “If not now, when?” I send my heartfelt gratitude for your encouragement and support. Allegro Cultural Tours is now ready to take you and your friends on a life-changing journey. Let’s go – New adventures are waiting for us!

Carefully Crafted Custom Itineraries
Every tour we create starts with a theme, special interest, or passion. We may follow in the footsteps of a favorite author in England, take up tango in Argentina, learn to cook in Sicily, or sing in the greatest cathedrals of Europe. We ask about your interests. Then, we craft an itinerary based on your vision, and bring it to life!
Handpicked Services and Guides
We want your tour to be perfect, so we handpick hotels and restaurants. If you prefer, we will arrange a stay in a castle, villa, luxury tent or moonlit cave. We plan fabulous meals! As for guides, we carefully select the most knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Your guides will be an integral part of your tour and take excellent care of you!
Enriching Cultural
Exchange
Central to our purpose is cultural exchange. You may experience volunteering alongside community members, sharing in a meal or worship, performing a joint concert, or enjoying an art or cooking lesson. The encounters we arrange bring travelers together with local hosts for a shared experience. We truly are a global family!
