About Us
Travel that resonates.​ We offer small-group travel rooted in creativity, curiosity, community, and connection. Whether you’re sharing a meal in a Tuscan courtyard or learning a traditional craft in a quiet Portuguese village, our tours invite you to slow down, be present, and travel in a more meaningful way.
​
This is slow travel. It creates a more fulfilling and enjoyable travel experience. It invites you to settle in, stay longer, and look closer. It allows you to connect more deeply with the place and the people.
​
On our tours, we create experiences that let you:
-
Linger in places that connect to your passions rather than racing through a checklist.
-
Savor food the way the locals do, instead of grabbing a quick bite.
-
Meet the artisan behind the work, not just the souvenir on the shelf.
-
Wander off the tourist trail and into the quieter corners where culture thrives.
When you linger, savor, connect, and stray from the well-worn path, you become part of a place—and in small, meaningful ways, it becomes part of you too. That’s what makes a tour resonate.
How It All Began
Resonate Tours began with a curious idea: Italians would love handbells.
​
So William gathered his friends and took them to Italy—to perform, to share meals, and to show them some of his favorite places. He had spent time studying architecture in Tuscany, and the connection to that place never left him.
​
They met William’s Italian friends, played music in beautiful old churches, lingered over long dinners, and connected with the people and culture of the region. That first trip wasn’t just about the music. It was about slowing down, being present, and experiencing the beauty of a place together.
​
What began as a shared adventure among friends found new energy when William partnered with Alex, who helped shape that spark into a company. They realized the magic wasn’t just in bringing musicians abroad—but in connecting all kinds of artists, creatives, and cultural enthusiasts with local traditions, people, and experiences. Together, they built Resonate Tours—a way to travel with meaning, creativity, and connection at the heart of it all.
What Matters to Us
That first trip wasn’t about checking off sights—it was about sharing time, meaningful moments, and discovering what makes a destination come alive. That feeling is what we’ve been cultivating ever since.
​
Every journey we design is shaped by what moves us most:
​
Creativity. There is joy in making things—whether it’s music, a knitted shawl, or a beautifully prepared meal. We celebrate the process, the expression, and the care behind each creative act.
​
Curiosity. Every journey begins with a question. We believe in staying open, following our sense of wonder, and allowing unexpected moments to guide the way.
​
Community. We create community by doing things together—slowing down, making art, sharing stories. Whether arriving with a friend or leaving with one, the experience is richer together.
​
Connection. The most meaningful experiences are rooted in respect. When travel honors the land, supports local communities, and uplifts cultural traditions, it creates a deeper sense of belonging.
Who We Are
We’re creatives, planners, musicians, and curious travelers at heart. With backgrounds in design, technology, music, and sustainable business, we bring a blend of vision and logistics to everything we do. What unites us is a love of travel, language, food, and culture—and a belief that the best experiences are the ones that connect us.
