Our Story
At Savvy Travels Co. we believe that the world is meant to be explored, savoured and appreciated. Our founder, Georgia Baillieu, embodies this spirit of adventure and passion for discovering new cultures and cuisines. Born and raised in the sunny city of Perth, Western Australia, this thirst for travel has now lead her to the creation of an extraordinary company - Savvy Travels Co.
It all started when Georgia made the decision to move to Bergamo, Italy, for a year. She’d planned to learn the language, live amongst the locals and fully embrace the Italian way of life. Little did she know that over 13 years later she’d still be living there, dedicating herself to exploring every corner of this beautiful country, discovering hidden gems, uncovering the secrets of local delicacies and forging deep connections with the local producers.
But Georgia's journey didn't stop there! She deepened her understanding of the industry by completing a Masters in Tourism Management at the University of Bergamo. In creating Savvy Travels Co. she has combined her first-hand knowledge of Italian culture and food, with her love of travelling.
Her Mission? To go beyond simply checking-off of a bucket list by providing her clients with unique and unforgettable experiences where they can truly indulge in the essence of a place. Where they walk away having felt a real connection with the Italian way of life and its richness.
