Sonja Penacca Email & Phone Number

I am Sonja, an expert and professional Tour Director dedicated to giving your guests the greatest travel experience possible. I have lived and worked in 6 countries, cycled extensively all over Europe, native English speaker with Italian residency and an Italian Tour Director license and an enthusiasm and passion for my job that is unmatched. As a Tour Director of both coach and bike tours in Italy & Europe, I have led sophisticated travelers on memorable trips through the countryside along the river Po, through the alleyways of Florence pointing out wine windows or just giving them a genuine experience chatting to a local cheese maker. My tour guests leave five-star reviews because they loved my suggestions and entertaining commentaries. Going above and beyond is what I do naturally. I currently work for Globus Family of Brands and do cycling tours for Girolibero here in Italy, where I am based. Leading both coach and bike tours has given me the skill set you are looking for: experienced at travel management, capable of immediate problem solving, knowledgeable about local geography and culture to build lasting relationships with local suppliers. My experience as a bike tour leader has prepared me to avoid unfavorable incidents and I am highly trained to handle emergencies and unexpected situations. In addition, having been educated in America, I am perfectly positioned to understand the needs and high expectations of your guests.COMMENTS- Sonja was a true professional with complete grip of our tour.

She was a fantastic guide!- Sonja was absolutely wonderful from day one! She kept us together, was very organized and informative about everything! The thing I loved best was the way she went about and beyond to make sure we were comfortable at every step of our tour even when I physically couldn't keep up with the group she still made me comfortable enough to do what I could and meet up with the group later on, I had a room that my plus size self couldn't fit the tiny shower at poppi hotel she without hesitation got us another room that had a shower I could get into. I only hated to say good bye to our wonderful Sonja and neat Italy! She works very hard and is great at what she does it was a blessed to meet her!Languages: English, Italian and German
