-- Travel Services --

In early 2023 I opened my own company!

Together with my long-time friend and colleague Manu, we opened the Italy-based travel company called WILD SAGE (<-- click on that link to go to our web page)

We can:

* organize and guide your private group on day- or multi-day tours

* provide guiding services during your villa or city holiday

​* take you on walking, cycling, or e-bike tours around Florence and the surrounding hills

* offer personalized travel planning & advice over Zoom

Tour Styles (you can mix 'n match!): 

            -- Active: walking, cycling, e-bikes, urban trekking, multi-sport

            -- Cultural: history, museums, artisans and local traditions

            -- Food & Wine: cooking lessons, "street food" tours, producer visits, wine tastings

            -- Road Trips: pile into the van, crank the tunes, and head out on-the-road  

            -- Villa or Air B&B stay: rent a place that suits your style and I'll take care of the rest

            -- Budget: experience Europe's nature & culture without breaking the bank

Tour with Wild Sage

With 25 years of experience organizing and guiding tours throughout Europe, Claire and her colleague Manu created Wild Sage to help you design your dream vacation. It can be active (or not), with a focus on whatever you like to do: food & wine, art & history, spas & wellness, artisans and local crafts, or total relax. It's your trip, you make the rules!

Day-Tours Tuscany

I've lived in the city of Florence for over 20 years so know all of the best places to hike and bike, both near and far. I can also take you on an informed city walk where we can see the main sites and sample the local food. Day tours or multi-day tours as per your schedule.

Online Travel Consulting

Sometimes you don't need a guide but you'd love some guidance in setting up your next trip. I can schedule a 30- or 60-minute online consulting session where I answer your specific travel questions. You can do it from home in your pyjamas, so what's easier than that??

About Me

IMG_5414_edited.jpg

Ciao! 
My name is Claire and I've lived in Florence, Italy, for over  25 years. I'm a tour leader and now co-owner of an Italy-based tour operator called Wild Sage.  For decades I've taken people on walking, cycling and cultural tours to some of Europe's most fascinating destinations. I started this blog during Covid, when the world was stuck at home and needed some "virtual guiding." Those difficult years spurred me to join forces with a good friend and open our own tour company, so please welcome Wild Sage! Hope to see you out there soon for some fun in the sun!
