Tours in Italy

Discover the true meaning of la dolce vita on our award-winning Italy trips – whether you’re hiking, cycling or embarking on a cultural adventure.

The hard part? Deciding which one of our Italy tours you want to join.

In the south is the Amalfi Coast, where we were one of the first to introduce small-group hiking trips more than 20 years ago. We continue to lead the way today, using our expert local knowledge to take you beyond the guidebooks.

Alternatively, explore Puglia, on the other side of the boot, where our expert guides reveal the secrets of Alberobello’s trulli houses, take you cycling through twisted olive groves, and show you the best local trattoria for handmade orecchiette pasta.

In Italy’s heartland are the adjoined regions of Tuscany and Umbria, where our tour leaders can take you on peaceful vineyard walks, introduce you to small-batch wine producers and show you the rarely visited villages.

For a complete change of scene, head north to the Dolomites to join our expert mountain leaders for more challenging treks or a snowshoe adventure.

Highlights of our Italy Tours

1. Amalfi Coast: With shimmering seas, soaring cliffs and glittering coves, the Amalfi Coast is a great introduction to our Italy tours and practically a second home for us. Based at Hotel Due Torri, we explore the best of the region: secluded mountain paths, cliffside towns and chic Capri, often with the chance to visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius.

2. Tuscany: From the rolling vineyards of the south to the mountainous north, our trips to Tuscany take you away from the tourists. Explore by bike or on foot, but always with the chance to fuel your adventure with great food and world-renowned wines.

3. Sicily: Our Sicily tours get under the skin of Italy’s largest island – a culture-packed destination of ancient ruins, medieval churches and prehistoric caves. And then there’s the food: pronounced by locals as the best in Italy.

4. The Dolomites: Spectacular mountain routes are linked by a series of fixed cables, ladders and bridges. Ranging from simple to technically difficult, they give you the opportunity to explore breath-taking mountain scenery on our walking and trekking tours.

5. Puglia: The heel of Italy’s boot, Puglia is one of the lesser-known destinations from our Italy tours. Don’t let that fool you. The Apulia region will surprise you with its picturesque landscapes, ancient hilltop towns, emerald waters, and lush farmlands dotted by ancient olive trees and conical shepherd huts known as trulli.

With so much to see and experience, you’ll not want to miss our trips to Italy.

This was an excellent way to explore Puglia, the towns of Matera, Alberobello, Ostuni and Lecce all were fascinating and atmospheric yet different. The hotel accommodation was in the town centers in the first three locations and was very good. The cave house and the trullo being a real experience. Accommodation in Lecce was a real disappointment. It was located on a ring road about a 25-minute walk from the center and was a basic business class hotel very few facilities. Our room was bright orange (think Easy Jet) and small, breakfast was limited compared to the previous hotels. Altogether a poor finish to a good experience.

A well planned itinerary circumnavigating the island to visit the major sites with the odd dart inland for even more. The minibus was comfortable, as were the hotels, which came in a variety of sizes and styles that added to the experience. Most were right in the heart of their communities, so there was never far to walk for sightseeing or amenities, such as restaurants. Apart from a brief period of Saharan wind and sand, we had perfect weather for sightseeing, sunny but not too hot. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

Julia Bianco – Lead Product Manager Europe

“Raised in the countryside of North Italy, I cherish la vendemmia (the harvest). Picking grapes with family and friends, then sharing food and wine, are some of my best memories, so returning home in September and October always brings back the magic of those moments. Prosecco, Tuscany and Umbria are ideal destinations to celebrate the occasion. ”

What’s the weather like in Italy?

Italy’s climate varies throughout the country but visitors can expect hot, dry summers and fairly cold, rainy winters. Similar to the UK, spring and autumn can bring both pleasant weather and cooler, wetter conditions.

Central and southern Italy experience the hottest, driest summer months with the major cities seeing temperatures of up to 40 degrees in July and August. October and November see the most rainfall in the north of the country, while the Italian Alps is the place to go for winter snow activities.

How many days is ideal for a trip to Italy?

Our tours to Italy take place over six to 15 days, with most of our trips lasting eight days in total. The exact length depends on the tour and itinerary chosen but we’ve tailored all our Italy trips to make sure you get the most out of your visit.

Along with organised activities and sightseeing, you’ll often get free time in your itinerary to soak up the atmosphere and explore or relax however you want.
