Our Story

Bolzano Walks This is South Tyrol! & Bolzano Street Food Tour® are both Brands created and owned by Italy Destination Services, a US based Tour Company founded by Claudia Boldrer in 2017.

After 15 years of learning the ropes by working in several US based Tour Operators specialized in Italy and Europe,  Claudia finally was able to see her dream come true: open her own Travel Company and through it, promote her beloved city of Bolzano and the region of South Tyrol, filling up the demand for English speaking tours and excursions.

Bolzano Street Food Tour® is the first English only tour of its kind, created and carefully designed by Claudia, who is also a tour guide with several years of international experience.

Always paying attention and listening to her travelers, in 2020 Claudia decided to expand the tour offer by adding private cooking classes, wine tours, and by creating the brand Bolzano Walks This is South Tyrol! historical and cultural tours, as well as tailor-made multi days itineraries.

Today Claudia has surrounded herself with a team of local professional English speaking Tour guides, Sommeliers, Beer Experts and driver- guides that all have something in common: a deep love for Bolzano and South Tyrol, its food scene and traditions that are eager to share it with your passengers.
