Born in Genoa on the beautiful Italian Riviera, Gina Hoff has been sharing her passion for her native country on highly Rons Italy Pictures 064.jpgpersonalized tours of Italy for the past 20 years. Also for 20 years she was professor of Italian Language and Culture at U.M.-St. Louis and Washington University. Gina has taught many classes in regional Italian cooking, and has been invited to do cooking demonstrations on T.V. She has also been a regular host on Italian radio, was elected Italian Representative by the St. Louis Center for International relations, has given countless presentations on Italian travel, history and culture and has acted as good-will ambassador, bringing official greetings from the mayor of St. Louis to mayors of Italian cities.santa margherita.jpg


On her tours travelers are invariably transformed into a group of friends sharing from her intimate knowledge of the language, food, art, and especially the people of Italy.

She takes you off the beaten path for truly authentic Italian experiences - and when she introduces you to restaurateurs, local residents, artisans and wine makers you enjoy a glimpse of Italian life not shared by the average tourist


“Don’t just visit Italy, truly experience the Italian way of life with Gina!”
