Where we go

We specialize in region-specific travel within Italy. We don't believe that you can truly experience a country like Italy by seeing Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan and Naples in a week. You end up missing the country, the people, the little towns and vistas in between, which to us is what its all about.
Our trips are about seeing real people, real places and understanding why WE love it. So we focus on one region per tour so there is less time travelling between destinations and more time AT them. In some instances we will combine regions because they are geographically convenient.
Trips are generally 9-10 days long and all inclusive
