What Italy offers

As one of the most beautiful countries in the world Italy offers an endless array of history, culture, art, vineyards, countryside and beaches. It is for this reason that tours of Italy are extremely popular; many want to see as much of Italy’s beauty as possible in one trip.

Each region of Italy has its own history and cultural background, which affects all aspects of life, from cooking to language. This cultural and historical diversity derives in part from the influence of the different civilizations, which have held sway over different regions throughout history; Etruscans in Tuscany, Greeks in Calabria, Romans with their empire starting in Lazio and extending throughout Italy and beyond, and Normans in Sicily, to name but a few.

Today the country’s very efficient railway and internal flight networks make it possible to combine almost any of the country’s locations within a single tour of Italy. A tailor-made tour enables you to choose which destinations most appeal to you.
