Our Team
Anna Maria Madaffari — Founder & Leader Explorer
With over two decades of wanderlust fueling every step, Anna founded Cooltours to ditch the typical tourist traps and share authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences.
When not mapping out new itineraries, you’ll find her managing every single tour even from behind the scenes in order to make sure every itinerary or single day tour booked through Cooltours goes smooth and outstanding. Thanks to a sharp eye for detail and a knack for problem-solving, your journey is seamless from the moment you book to the day you return home.
Most of the times she's running personally each tour as she's been doing this over the last 18 years
