From Taormina above the Ionian Sea to Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, Sicily is a gorgeous and surprising island rich in unique history and food.

With the spectacular Dolomite Alps as background, we visit unforgettable cities and sites that stretch north from Venice to the borders of Austria, Switzerland, and Slovenia.

Puglia is probably the most surprising of Italy’s regions. The Illyric and Italic civilizations initially inhabited  this area as early as 40,000 years ago; however, the Greeks, beginning in the 8th Century BC, created the first large settlements along the coast.

Our tours of Northern Italy include adventures to crystal clear alpine lakes, surrounded by the Italian and Swiss Alps. Exceptional local specialties prepared by cooks and private excursions across northern Italy await you on this memorable trip.

Our small group tours of Veneto, Venice, and Tuscany provides guests with unforgettable encounters with the rich culture of these unique regions of Italy.
