Boldrini, Andrea

Traveling has always been a passion of mine. The thrill of exploring new destinations, immersing myself in different cultures, and meeting people from all over the world is truly exhilarating. As a Tour Director, I have the unique opportunity to share this passion with others, steering a group through the magnificent landscapes of the world. I love crafting engaging commentaries that foster the best of each destination, from hidden gems to iconic landmarks. Guiding groups through these experiences and witnessing their excitement and wonder is incredibly rewarding. Every tour is a new adventure, filled with unforgettable moments and the chance to create lasting memories for my guests. Being a Tour Director allows me to combine my love for travel and enthusiasm, with my desire to educate and inspire others, making it the perfect career for me.

Starting from picturesque Lisbon, visit some of the world’s most treasured Marian shrines, pilgrimage sites, and spiritual places of Portugal, Spain, and France.
