This tour was everything I hoped for and more — the perfect mix of culture, nature, food, and beautiful views. From walking among ancient temples to seeing the sea.. every day had something unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the local towns were full of charm and character. The Gambino winery experience was also amazing. The wines were delicious after a day walking on Etna mixed with cheese and breads and olive oil. Just wonderful!

This trip was nothing short of transformative. I have not travelled much in my life, at least not trips like this one, but nothing could have prepared me for how deeply this experience would impact me. From the first morning waking up in Bomerano, sometimes literally inside the clouds, I felt a new kind of aliveness I had never felt before. Every direction I looked was breathtaking, and every day left me feeling inspired, connected and genuinely grateful. What started as a simple hiking holiday quickly became something life changing, and our group bonded in a way that lifted my spirit more than I ever expected. It truly felt like stepping into a dream I never wanted to end. Every hike, every day, offered another reason to fall in love with life again.

Grazie assai, Agerola. Dentro le tue nuvole ho ritrovato il respiro, e nei tuoi sentieri ho imparato a vivere il momento. Non sognarlo soltanto: vivilo.

FAQs on Italy Tours

What are the must-visit destinations in Italy?

From the enchanting Amalfi Coast to the timeless beauty of Tuscany, the historic wonders of Sicily, the stunning Dolomites, and the picturesque Puglia, each region has its unique charm. If it’s your first visit, narrow down the choices by considering what you are looking to experience on this trip. Are you seeking out the Italian fantasy of a relaxing visit to a vineyard villa? Looking to immerse yourself in the rich history? Wanting to soak up the sun on the beaches? Or interested in tasting your way through culinary delights? From wine walks to coastal vacations and from history-focused tours to foodie trips, there is a region that is perfect for you.

What’s the best time of year for a trip to Italy?

The best time of year for an Italian getaway will depend on your specific tour or activity of choice. Spring and fall are often ideal, offering pleasant weather and avoiding peak tourist season. Winter can be magical, especially in regions like the Dolomites. Summers are vibrant but can be crowded. If you are planning a cycling trip or walking in Italy, a cooler time of year could lead to the best experience, but if you want to make the most of balmy, sun-filled days by the beach or experience a scenic boat trip, the warmer summer months are probably your best option.

How many days is ideal for a trip to Italy?

Our guided tours of Italy take place over six to fifteen days, with most of our trips lasting eight days in total. The precise duration varies based on the chosen tour and itinerary, but each of our Italy trips is meticulously crafted to maximize your experience.

In addition to organized activities and sightseeing, your itinerary typically includes free time, allowing you to immerse yourself in the ambiance and leisurely explore or unwind at your pace.

Is it easy to tour Italy on your own?

While Italy is considered a safe and tourist-friendly destination, traveling anywhere on your own comes with its fair share of challenges.

With an expert local guide leading the way, you’ll feel safe and at ease throughout your travels. It’s the easiest way to tour Italy without having to take on the tedious planning or any of the risks of traveling alone.
