About Me

travel designer

Ciao,

I'm a native Italian, have been in the travel profession as a travel guide, (and a chef), for over 30 years. I escorted tours all over Europe, for many years, enjoyed travelling and making new friends all over and especially Italy and Sicily.

With a deep knowledge of history, food, and wine, I'm passionate about sharing my expertise with travelers.My infectious enthusiasm and dedication to creating unforgettable experiences make me an invaluable asset to our travellers and team.

I oversees our European office from the beautiful Sorrento, Italy, and continue to lead tours throughout the year.

I organize great experiences in Sorrento, south Italy, Sicily, the rest of Italy and Europe.

Bella May2023

Bella JUST DO IT! Amazing food, amazing views and such an educational experience as well. Ricardo was an amazing host who took him time and truly personalized this experience for us. He went out of his way to make sure we were accommodated. We left with so many memories and our bellies full. We also ended up being the only group so it was super private as well. Loved this experience. 10/10

Our family had him once/and never toured without him ever since 1997
Reviewed By Arosect - Greenwich, Ct | Traveled to Europe
Ricardo isn’t just a tour guide. He genuinely becomes like family to the people he has on his tours. We have been with him since 1997 and we’ve never explored the world without him his knowledge, global connections and genuine love for people make the trip unforgettable. From the best restaurants to the most spectacular tours of every city visit Ricardo and his team deliver excellence with warmth, respect and passion traveling with him isn’t just a vacation. It’s a once in a lifetime experience every single time. And with complete and total honesty, you’ll end up meeting his good friends that he has in almost every city in the world. lol (of course I’m exaggerating) but it is mind blowing the amount of people that he knows and keeps fantastic relationships with. You know the saying, “show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are.” it applies perfectly to when you meet all his colleagues and all of his friends.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best Tour of my life !
Reviewed By Ciao St Louis - St. Louis Missouri | Traveled to Sicily | Italy | Europe
Our tour of Sicily with Wherever Tours was beyond extraordinary, and our tour director, Ricardo Filaci, was absolutely phenomenal in every possible way. Ricardo is the rare tour director who elevates a great itinerary into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. His passion for Sicily, encyclopedic knowledge, and captivating storytelling transformed every drive, stop, and sightseeing moment into something special. You could truly feel his pride and love for the island in everything he shared. What sets Ricardo apart is his genuine care for people. He anticipated needs before they were even voiced, handled every detail seamlessly, and made every traveler feel valued and included. His warmth, humor, and tireless dedication created an atmosphere of joy, comfort, and excitement from start to finish. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken, and Ricardo was the heart and soul of the experience. Thanks to him and Wherever Tours, Sicily will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We would follow Ricardo anywhere and recommend him and this tour without the slightest hesitation.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
