Who we are
Kirebi is a way of traveling
A way to discover the world with curious eyes, forging deep connections with places and people. The name comes from the fusion of three Japanese concepts—bond (Kizuna), calm (Reisei), and beauty (Bi)—which embody our philosophy: traveling mindfully, appreciating the details, and creating authentic memories.
Whether it’s an itinerary on the other side of the world or a tour in Florence, we believe every journey should be a personal and unique experience, enriching and unforgettable. That’s why we design tailor-made routes, away from the most crowded tourist circuits, crafted for those who wish to explore with depth and curiosity.
Our approach to travel
Traveling means discovering, marveling, and forging connections.Kirebi Travel was born from a love for beauty and the desire to make every journey an authentic experience, one that leaves a lasting impression.
What makes a journey special?
There are moments we hold in our hearts: the wonder in the eyes of someone seeing a masterpiece for the first time, the joy of a child playing in front of a monument built 500 years ago, the emotion of returning home with a memory that will last forever.
For us, every itinerary is a story.We believe in the power of stories, in the anecdotes that bring a place to life, and in the details that turn a simple visit into an experience. That’s why no two journeys are the same: each person has their own way of exploring, and we are here to guide you on your personal discovery.
Kirebi Travel’s Founder
Giulia Franchino’s story
Traveling has always been my way of exploring the world and myself.After earning a degree in Comparative Languages and Literatures and a master’s specialization in Japanese Language and Literature, I lived in Kyōto to deepen my understanding of Japanese culture.
In Florence, I passed the regional examination to become a certified tour guide,turning my passion for art and languages into a profession. Over time, I expanded my expertise by obtaining certifications as a Travel Agency Technical Director and as a Travel Designer, specializing in the creation of tailor-made itineraries.
I founded Kirebi Travel to bring my passions and achievements to life, offering my experience, research, and a network of local connections to create authentic and personalized journeys, far from standard tourist routes.
For me, every itinerary is a story.I believe in the power of stories, in the anecdotes that bring a place to life, and in the details that turn a simple visit into an experience. That’s why no two journeys are the same: each person has their own way of exploring, and I am here to guide you on your personal discovery.
I love capturing the world around me, whether in Florence or during my travels across the globe. Almost all the photos on this website were taken by me and reflect my passion for photography.
