Connect with Italy’s authentic soul

Italy is known for history, food, wine, monuments, art and jaw dropping landscapes but that’s not why we keep wanting to return. There’s something about the soul of this country that pulls us in. And the soul of a place begins and ends, always, with its people and their passions – whether that’s classic cars, precision pasta making or traditional music.

Where we find Italy’s beating heart and soul are in its regions, away from the crowds of Rome and Florence. We find it in the artisans, cheesemakers, and family winemakers and in the hearts of those who live in the hilltop towns of Umbria and on the slopes of Mount Etna.

If you’re curious about what makes Italy and Italians tick, let us guide you on a journey through its regions and countryside highlights on one of our 5 to 7 day small group tours.
