About Us
Kirebi is a way of travelling
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—connection (Kizuna), tranquillity (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 trips, away from the most crowded tourist areas, crafted for those who wish to explore with depth and curiosity.
What travelling is for us
Travelling means discovering, marveling, and forging connections. Kirebi Travel was born out of a love of beauty and a desire to make every trip an authentic experience capable of leaving a mark.
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, the anecdotes that make a place come alive, the details that turn a simple visit into an experience. Therefore, That’s why two journeys are not the same: each person has their own way of exploring, and we are here to guide you on your personal discovery.
Our founder
Giulia Franchino’s story
Travelling has always been my way of exploring the world and myself. After getting a degree in Comparative Languages and Literature and majoring in Japanese Language and Literature, I have lived in Kyōto to deepen my understanding of Japanese culture.
In Florence, I passed the regional exam to become a licensed Tour Leader and Tourist 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 areas.
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.
