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’ve traveled with Riccardo and Wherever Tours many times over the last 10 years very exciting very professional great prices and love the people.

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.

Richard Filaci was an outstanding travel guide and made our tour of Sicily truly unforgettable. His knowledge of the island’s history, culture, and traditions brought every destination to life. Richard has the ability to blend historical insight with storytelling, making each stop informative and enjoyable.
