Historical Countryside

These 3 Tours will take you into the heart and sole of Italy.
Away from the busy cities and into the quiet sounds of the country.
Each tour presents a distinctive different part of Italy...

Tuscany's scenery is as variable as the colors of the rainbow. The many valleys, each one named after the river that flows through it, are a perfect example of the unique terrain.

Our tours of Tuscany take you to the woods and meadows of the Garfagnana, the olive groves and vineyards of Italy's famous Chianti region, and the summit of Monte Amiata in the splendor of the beech and chestnut trees.

While Italy's Umbrian region borders southern Tuscany and its attractive, gently rolling landscape makes it the perfect partner to your Tuscan vacation. Umbria is home to Assisi, the cradle of the Franciscan movement founded by St. Francesco. Architecturally, historically, naturally, culturally or spiritually, a visit to Umbria is a perfect extension to a vacation in Tuscany or a fabulous holiday destination on its own.

Umbria, "the Green Heart of Italy", has so many spectacular sites within a short driving distance that it is the perfect destination for an exciting but relaxing holiday. Our local representative can introduce you to many "off the beaten track" adventures other tourists miss.

The Italian provinces of Basilicata & Puglia are perfect for travelers who enjoy adventure and discovery. Matera is the ancient city of the "Sassi" and has been declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. It was featured in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ”. From there, the tour travels to Puglia's Historical Agriculture Fields where the Olive Trees are over 100 years old. The sandy beaches of the Ionic Sea are in sharp contrast to the rugged coast of the Adriatic Sea. Spend time in the town of Santa Maria di Leuca where both seas collide! Each region of Puglia has its own distinctive history, wines and foods. Enjoy the caverns of the Castellina di Grotte, the Trullis of Alberobello or a shopping experience in Monopoli.
