ITALY YOUR WAY:
TAILOR-MADE AND
RELIABLE EXPERIENCES
AND EVENTS FOR GROUPS
For over 40 years, we have been
delivering authentic Italian
experiences, combining strong
expertise with a constant drive
for innovation. Our itineraries are
designed to reveal Italy in a genuine
and engaging way, balancing classic
highlights with fresh ideas.
Italy is a unique destination where
landscapes, craftsmanship, art, and
culinary traditions form a rich cultural
mosaic. Each region expresses its
identity through history, flavors, and
lifestyle, making every journey a
discovery.
Among them, Tuscany stands out
as one of Italy’s most iconic and
complete regions. Art cities such
as Firenze, Arezzo, and Lucca blend
seamlessly with countryside gems
like Cortona, Pienza, Montalcino, and
Pitigliano, offering an exceptional
mix of culture, scenery, and tradition
Our tours showcase both renowned
landmarks and lesser-known
treasures. Vineyards, olive groves,
rolling hills, medieval towns, and
rural landscapes provide the ideal
setting for well-balanced itineraries,
perfectly suited for group travel
Tuscany is also a key destination for
gastronomy. From Siena’s ricciarelli
to Viareggio’s fried fish, from
Chianti’s cheeses and cured meats
to the bold flavors of the Maremma,
local cuisine becomes an essential
part of the travel experience.
This leaflet presents Tuscany’s
highlights and hidden gems,
enriched with authentic and flavorful
moments, offering original ideas
that go beyond standard routes and
create a deeper connection with the
region.

Autumn racer:
New olive oil and good wine
The days are getting shorter, the winds fresher and the typical
autumn fruits are ripening. Nature prepares for hibernation
and people use the time to take their last trips in fine weather:
that is the magic of autumn, a season that invites tranquillity

full of energy. This program has been very successful and we
would like to offer it again.
Experience with us one of the most beautiful autumns in Italy,
the one in Tuscany.

Tuscany & Umbria, the perfect duo
Two regions that many consider to be similar, which is why
they limit themselves to visiting only Tuscany and skip Umbria.
What a big mistake... Umbria is called the spiritual heart of
Italy, due to its basilicas, churches and other buildings that
emphasise the religious soul, in contrast to Tuscany, where
noble palaces, castles and museums predominate. Tuscany’s
meat and Umbria’s sausage are the flagship products of each
region.
When it comes to ice cream, however, there is one undisputed
winner: Sergio Dondoli’s in San Gimignano in Tuscany.
