Our Team


Our tour directors are there from start to finish, their service starts with meet and greet at the airport and this is also where they wave goodbye

Bom Dia!

My name is Manuela  and I am the tour director for TIKI TOURS in France, Spain and Portugal and the alpine regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I was born in Portugal, not far from Lisbon, our capital. Since I was a young girl my dream was to travel and discover other countries and experience other realities.

Buongiorno!

I am Luigi the Tour Director for TIKI TOURS in Italy. I was born of Sicilian parents in Trieste, where I graduated in political science which gives me a better understanding of the geography, culture, and the politics of the countries that I work in.
