About Abroads Tours

Founded by experienced tour guides who believe travel should be authentic, personal, and unforgettable.

Our company was founded in 2023 by two seasoned tour guides who finally said, "Enough is enough."

After years of watching travelers get herded like cattle into packed buses and dropped at tourist traps, we set out to build something better.

We craft our tours by personally visiting each destination — not just browsing Google. You'd be shocked at how many companies have no idea where they're sending their tourists. Many tours are created from an office, relying solely on Google instead of firsthand experience.

Meet The Founders

Two passionate guides who transformed their vision into authentic travel experiences

Oleg

Tour guide and Co-founder

When I Travel, I Don't Follow the Crowd

I always travel with a plan. And when it comes to restaurants, hotels, or tours — I don't trust the five-star hype.

💬 I read the bad reviews first. That's where the truth is. A lot of people give 5 stars just because the weather was nice or the views were pretty.

Not me.

When I leave a five-star review, it's because the company and the guide truly deserve it.

And when I see a huge crowd?

I turn around and walk the other way.

👋 Meet Stefano — Your Local Guide from Milan

Hi, I'm Stefano — born and raised in Milan, and a tour guide for nearly five years.

Together with my friend Oleg, we started Abroads Tours because we believe travel should be real, personal, and far from the crowds.

I hold two master's degrees:

🎓 Tourism, Territory and Local Development
🌍 International Economy of Tourism

I'm passionate about art, history, animals, hiking, and rock music — and I love sharing my knowledge with curious travelers like you.

Whether we're walking through charming villages or exploring hidden corners, it's my pleasure to guide you through the best of our lands — the way locals see it.

What Our Travelers Say

A truly personal and well-organized day trip!

An excellent day trip experience out of Milan! Stefano, our tour guide was knowledgeable on history and culture, extremely organized (with a prepared list of recommendations sent via WhatsApp for free time at each stop), and also just hilarious. Loved taking the train and getting to see Como and Lugano with a smaller, more intimate group as opposed to some larger bus tours with 50+ people.

Amira Abadir

The small group made all the difference!

Despite all of the traveling we’ve done, I have never taken a chance on a guided tour, preferring to wander off the beaten path by ourselves. I’m so glad I chose this tour as my first. Every detail was impeccably planned, setting our minds at ease to fully enjoy the entire experience. Stefano is a true gentleman and a wonderful guide. The small group concept and his ability to form a connection with all of us created a fun and friendly environment.

Joey Cox

Enjoyable small group dynamic!

Stefano, the tour guide, took us to the best places at Lake Como and Lugano. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the history. I will definitely recommend it to my friends and family.
