SOMETHING ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Considered the pioneer of backpacking tours and travel in Italy, Irene Chimenti, was born and raised in a little village in the heart of Tuscany - Italy.

She opened a small tiny little office and nowadays she is the owner of one of the most famous Tour Operators for budget travelers in Italy.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
In 2007 Irene launched Tuscany on a Budget, promoting daily tours in Florence, Siena, and all those other places you heard about in the movie, “Under the Tuscan Sun”.
In 2013 she launched Italy on a Budget tours, with the goal of providing epic trips designed for young, independent and budget-minded travelers aged between 18 and 39 something.
