My name is Alessandro Tau, I am an archaeologist and tour guide.
After working and touring part of Italy on several archaeological sites, I have decided to transmit the love and passion I feel for my land of origin, specializing myself as tour guide, both in cycling and walking tours. This job gives me the possibility to mix and transmit my experiences and passions related to my life in my homeland. First of all, the teachings of my grandmother, I used to walk with in my home town countryside, collecting wild edible herbs to make delicious food, as well as, the job experiences in agriculture and landascape archeology and, last but not the least, my fondness for food and wine of Puglia.
All these ingredients allow me to create unique and customized tours, during which participants receive information about the territory, getting involved with all their senses. The final recipe, is a multisensorial experience to discover the territory, get into it and be part of it.
During my tours, you will be able to look at the surrounding landscape with the eyes of the humans who had closer and deeper relations with the territory, as well as to trace and recognize the signs they left on the environment, thus understanding their habits and impact. Also, throught the practice of collecting edible wild plants, we will be able to discover and mend the deep relation between the local men and the million of years old natural environment.
Rural culture, traditional food, archeology, wonderful landscapes and nature, condensed into different paths around Puglia.
