Claudia Viani

Hello, my name is Claudia Viani and I have been in the travel industry for the past 40+ years I was born under the Tuscan sun in a small village near Lucca, and my love for Italy and its magic was ignited as early as I was born

My wanderlust for travel began when we immigrated to Canada in my early teens. Two years later while my family settled, I travelled back to my hometown for the first of many visits and thus began my exploration of charming medieval villages & the rolling hills of the Italian countryside.

With travel embedded in my DNA I joined the travel industry and with a suitcase full of memories & a heart open to new adventures. I turned my early love for exploration into a career as a tour expert to create bespoke itineraries. Today, I use my own adventures to inspire the ones I create for my clients. I aim to go beyond the ordinary, creating experiences that linger long after the suitcase is unpacked. My clients don't just book vacations; they embark on curated tours designed to inspire, captivate & create lasting memories that include discovery, connection & culture.

I am thrilled to present our 2024 Sicilia Bella Tour - The next stop for my Italian tours to Sicily next May, and I can? t wait for you to come with us. This is an exclusive & individually curated CWT Harvey?s Travel departure.
