A trusted reference
in the heart of Sesto

"Travel is not about reaching a place — it's about finding a place that belongs to you."

Since 1952with passion

We are an independent travel agency on the doorstep of Milan, specialised in itineraries built around your desires. We don't sell packages: we listen, design, and take care of every detail.

From flights to wedding lists, from study trips to the most adventurous tours: every departure begins with a real conversation.

The history room

What happened
while we were open

Every plaque is something that happened to the world, not to us. But each of these things changed the way people travel, and we were open every single time.

1952The first jet airliner service

On 2 May a BOAC Comet takes off from London for Johannesburg with thirty-six passengers aboard: the world's first scheduled service flown by a jet aircraft.

Modern civil aviation is born. And so is the agency.

We open here
1958The jet crosses the Atlantic

On 26 October a Pan Am Boeing 707 links New York to Paris in a little over eight hours. America becomes reachable in a day instead of two.

The ocean stops being a barrier.

1970The Boeing 747 enters service

On 22 January the first jumbo crosses the Atlantic with over three hundred people aboard. The cost per passenger collapses and flying comes within reach of ordinary families.

Mass tourism is born, and the package holiday with it.

1973The oil crisis

The producing countries' embargo quadruples the price of crude in a matter of months. Airlines cut routes, and fuel becomes the item that decides the price of a ticket.

We learn that travel depends on geopolitics.

1978The United States deregulates air travel

The Airline Deregulation Act strips the state of its power to set routes and fares. Price competition is born, along with the model Europe would copy fifteen years later.

The ticket becomes a commodity with a moving price.

1985The Schengen Agreement

Five European countries sign away checks at their internal borders. It would come into force in 1995 and change the way people move around Europe for good.

Crossing a border stops being an event.

1991The Gulf War

The conflict and the fear of attacks empty the aircraft for months. Several long-established airlines do not survive the following year.

The first time traffic stops out of fear.

1992Europe frees its skies

The third liberalisation package lets any European carrier fly anywhere in the Union at whatever price it chooses. It is the rule the low-cost airlines would grow out of.

Flying stops being a luxury.

1996Travel arrives on the internet

The first online booking portals appear. Within a few years anyone can compare twenty fares from the sofa, at any hour. In Italy thousands of agencies will close.

Access is no longer something you can sell.

2001September eleventh

United States airspace stays shut for days and demand collapses worldwide. Airport security changes for good, and with it the timing of every departure.

Travel as we know it today is born.

2002The euro arrives

From the first of January twelve countries share the same currency. Comparing prices between European destinations becomes instant, and changing money is no longer necessary.

Europe becomes a single market.

2003The SARS epidemic

Air traffic towards Asia contracts sharply for months. It is the dress rehearsal, almost ignored, for what would happen seventeen years later.

A virus can close a continent.

2004The Indian Ocean tsunami

On 26 December the wave overwhelms the coasts of Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Maldives at the height of the tourist season. Thousands of European travellers are caught up in it.

Knowing where your clients are becomes vital.

2008The financial crisis

Oil hits its all-time high in the summer and demand collapses in the autumn. Companies cut business trips, families shorten their holidays.

People travel less far, and for fewer days.

2010The Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud

Ash from an Icelandic volcano closes European skies for six days: over a hundred thousand flights cancelled and around ten million passengers stranded. It is the largest European shutdown since the war.

Those who had booked alone were left alone.

2019The collapse of Thomas Cook

On 23 September the world's oldest tour operator fails, leaving six hundred thousand people mid-trip. The United Kingdom mounts the largest civil repatriation in its history.

Even giants fall. What counts is who answers the phone.

2020The pandemic

International tourist arrivals fall by 74 per cent: one billion fewer travellers than the year before, according to the World Tourism Organization. It is the worst year in the history of tourism.

Months spent cancelling, not selling.

2022The messy restart

Demand comes back all at once but the staff do not: endless queues, luggage lost by the thousand, flights cancelled on the day at European airports.

Reopening was harder than closing.

todayItineraries are written by a machine

A ten-day programme in Japan is generated by an artificial intelligence in thirty seconds. Information is no longer scarce: it is endless, and nobody checks it for you.

You need someone who answers when the plan falls apart.

    Travel Insurance

    Travel with peace of mind,
    even when plans change

    A trip can fall through, luggage can go missing, you can fall ill far from home. We help you choose cover that fits your trip, and we stay with you if you need to use it.

    01 The cover What can be insured

    Medical expenses

    Consultations, hospital care and medical repatriation abroad, with an operations centre in every time zone.

    Cancellation

    Reimbursement of what you have already paid if you have to withdraw for a reason the policy covers.

    Baggage

    Loss, theft or delayed delivery, with compensation for essential purchases.

    Trip interruption

    If you have to come home early, the cover applies to the days you did not use.

    Delays and missed connections

    Compensation for extended flight delays and connections you could not make.

    Travel assistance

    A number to call around the clock, in Italian, wherever you are.

    02 The formats How to choose

    Single trip

    The policy covers one departure, for the duration and destination declared.

    Annual multi-trip

    For frequent travellers: every trip in the year under a single policy.

    Families and groups

    Combined cover for households, parties and groups departing together.

    High risk and sport

    Extensions for high-altitude trekking, diving, off-piste skiing and demanding destinations.

    03 How it works From choosing to claiming

    We assess it together

    Destination, duration, the age of the travellers and the trip value determine the right cover.

    We read the conditions

    We show you limits, excesses and exclusions in writing before you sign.

    Issue

    The policy is issued alongside your travel booking and reaches you by email straight away.

    If you need to claim

    We tell you who to call and which documents to gather, and we follow the claim with you.

    Cancellation cover must be taken out at the time of booking or within the days indicated by the insurer. The information here is for information purposes only: what counts are the policy conditions, which we read together before you sign.

    Tell us where you are going and when: we will find the right cover.

    Learning by travelling,
    growing by dreaming

    A language stay is decided as a family, and everyone arrives with their own questions. Let's start there.

    With a host family, chosen by the school and vetted: we know the name, the address and the phone number before departure, and so do you. Families host two students at most, and never two Italians together — otherwise they don't speak English.

    They get to the gate with us or with you, depending on the option chosen. On arrival a member of the school staff recognises them and takes them to the family: they don't land alone in a city they don't know.

    There is a number that stays open for the whole stay, and it is not a call centre: the person who organised that trip answers. Health insurance is included and covers the doctor, medicines and an early return if needed.

    They won't come back bilingual, and anyone who promises you that is selling you something. What almost always happens is that something unlocks: they stop being afraid of getting it wrong. On their return you hear the difference in speaking long before grammar.

    No, and it wouldn't even be a good thing. In class there are kids from all over Europe and the level is set by a test on day one, not by age. In the family, though, you are the only Italian: that's where English becomes compulsory.

    Mornings are school, afternoons are excursions and sport, and there is at least one full-day trip a week. It isn't free time to fill: there is a programme, and you get it before you leave.

    Yes, and it is a choice that changes the whole stay. Dublin and London are big and lively; Galway, Cork and Brighton are human-sized and you get around on foot. If it's your first time away on your own, the second kind works better.

    There's wi-fi at the family's house and at school. For the rest, a prepaid card in your own name is the sensible choice: families don't handle cash, and this way your parents can see what you spend without having to call you.

    Where you go

    A green island
    where English is lived

    Ireland is the closest English-speaking country to us, and for many teenagers it is their first real trip alone. English is spoken everywhere, but at a slower pace and with a warmth that puts even the most nervous traveller at ease. Distances are short, the cities are human-sized and the countryside begins minutes from the centre.

    01The countryWhat to expect on arrival

    Weather worth packing for

    It rains often but rarely for long: summer highs sit around twenty degrees and daylight stretches to almost eleven at night. You need light layers and a waterproof jacket, not a winter coat.

    A culture that welcomes

    Live music in pubs is an everyday affair and open to everyone, including under-18s until a certain hour. It is the most natural way to meet locals without feeling like a tourist.

    Short distances

    The west coast is only a few hours by coach from Dublin. Schools organise weekend excursions to the cliffs, the national parks and the coastal villages.

    02The citiesWhere the stays take place

    Dublin

    The capital, with the widest choice of schools and the liveliest student scene. Ideal for those who want museums, concerts and movement. It is also the most expensive option for accommodation.

    Galway

    A university city on the Atlantic coast, small and full of life, with pedestrian streets full of musicians. The favourite of anyone looking for a more intimate but far from sleepy setting.

    Cork

    The country’s second city, less frequented by Italian groups — which is exactly why it is the best option if the real aim is to speak English rather than fall back on fellow countrymen.

    03How it worksWhat the stay includes

    Flight and transfers

    We book the flight from the most convenient airport and arrange the transfer from the airport to the host family or campus, with a welcome on arrival.

    Course and certification

    Recognised schools, a placement test on day one, international classes and a final certificate. On request we also prepare the path towards a recognised qualification.

    Host family or residence

    Families selected and visited in person, with full board and a single or twin room. Alternatively a student residence for older participants. Phone support in Italian throughout.

    Where the language
    learned to speak

    The United Kingdom remains the benchmark for studying English: the choice of schools is the widest in Europe and the certificates earned here are recognised everywhere. It is also the country where the accent changes every hundred kilometres — and that, more than any exercise, trains the ear to understand for real.

    June – September
    01The countryWhat to expect on arrival

    A passport is required

    Since Brexit an ID card is no longer enough: a valid passport is required. No visa is needed for stays under six months, but minors travelling without their parents must carry a letter of consent.

    Different accents everywhere

    From London to Manchester to Edinburgh the pronunciation changes radically. It is an initial difficulty that becomes the real advantage of the stay: you learn to listen, not just to repeat.

    Free museums

    The great national collections — British Museum, National Gallery, Science Museum — are free to enter. A free afternoon is never a wasted or an expensive one.

    02The citiesWhere the stays take place

    London

    Everything, always, at any hour. Maximum cultural offering and maximum exposure to international English. Bear in mind: long journeys across the city and a high cost of living.

    Brighton

    An hour from the capital, on the sea, young and informal. The schools are a few steps from the beach and the city is walkable: the calmest choice for a first stay.

    Oxford and Cambridge

    Stays in the historic colleges during the summer break, with an academic atmosphere hard to find elsewhere. Suited to those already motivated who want a more structured setting.

    03How it worksWhat the stay includes

    Flight and transfers

    Flights from the main Italian airports and a private or shared transfer to the accommodation, with our contact person reachable at any time.

    Course and certification

    British Council accredited schools, small classes and preparation courses for IELTS, Cambridge and Trinity for those aiming at a usable qualification.

    Host family or college

    Selected families with full board, or campus residences with a canteen and supervision for under-18s. Afternoon activities and excursions always included.

    Rondò
    group trips

    Themed departures, in a small group, with a Rondò host and a guest travelling with you. The programme is already built: all you have to do is be there.

    The next
    departures

    Group
    experiences

    You don't always have to travel. Days and evenings to spend together close to home: we book for the group and take care of the rest.

    How a departure
    works

    01

    Small group

    We travel in small numbers: no queues, and by the end of the trip you actually know each other.

    02

    Programme already built

    We organise visits, activities and nights. Flights and price are on request: we work them out together before departure.

    03

    A themed guest

    Every departure has a theme and someone who knows it well, travelling with the group.

    Want to hear about
    the next departure?

    Write to us: we'll send you a quote and let you know as soon as the dates are set, before the places are gone.

      Business trips,
      with nothing to worry about

      People who travel for work need different things from people going on holiday: schedules that change at the last minute, flights to rebook, expense reports to close. We have handled business trips for local companies since 1952, with one contact who knows your habits and doesn't start from scratch every time.

      // 01 — What you get

      One point of contact
      for every trip

      01

      Your contact

      One dedicated person, always the same one

      02

      Assistance

      Outside office hours too, while you are travelling

      03

      Administration

      Electronic invoicing and monthly summaries

      04

      Terms

      Negotiated rates on agreed volumes

      Behind your contact there is the whole agency: if they are unavailable, the rest of the team answers, with the same picture of your trip in front of them.

      // 02 — A day on the road

      When something goes wrong,
      we notice first

      Six moments of an ordinary day, as seen by the traveller and by us.

      1. The alarm goes off before dawn

        The traveller

        Taxi booked last night, but the flight has been moved twenty minutes earlier and nobody told the driver.

        On our side

        The schedule change reaches us from the booking system: we move the transfer and send the new time before the alarm goes off.

      2. At the gate, without queuing

        The traveller

        There are twenty-two people ahead at the check-in desk and the flight closes in forty minutes.

        On our side

        Boarding pass issued, frequent flyer number and usual seat already attached to the profile: straight through to security.

      3. The meeting overruns by two hours

        The traveller

        The return flight leaves at 15:20 and changing it at the desk costs as much as a new ticket.

        On our side

        When the diary is uncertain we book on a changeable fare: you move the flight by paying the difference, not the whole thing.

      4. «Flight cancelled»

        The traveller

        Two hundred passengers queuing at the same help desk, and tomorrow morning's meeting is in Milan.

        On our side

        We see the cancellation first. While the queue is still forming, the rebooking is already on another service.

      5. An extra night is needed

        The traveller

        Yesterday's hotel is full and the booking sites want a personal card, which then has to be reimbursed.

        On our side

        We add the night to the same file, on the company agreement: nothing paid out of pocket, no extra expense report.

      6. Back home, and the trip is already closed

        The traveller

        Receipts, boarding passes and slips still to be dug out of pockets and suitcase.

        On our side

        Flight, hotel and transfers are already in the monthly summary, split by cost centre. Accounts has nothing to reconstruct.

      // 03 — Company agreement

      Let's talk about your company's travel

      Tell us how much you travel and where: we will put together terms that fit and assign you a contact. No commitment, no set-up fee.

      The gift list
