WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN OFFERING SOME OF THE MOST UNIQUE VACATIONS IN NORTHERN ITALY

Links to all of our various featured vacations can be found in the left-hand column of our website.

We are in the process of finalizing our 2012 tours and details will be online by the end of October 2011. For more information prior to the publication of these tour dates and details, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Although we have become renowned for offering unique tours featuring specific themes or educational workshops, all of our vacations are built around the core experience that we "gift" to all of our guests: scenic, cultural immersion in the location of your tour.

We are based in the Dolomites and our tours of these spectacular mountains and the Trentino/Alto Adige region are our primary specialty, but we also offer our scenic, cultural immersion vacations throughout Northern Italy. Two of our most popular Northern Italy tours are our four-day getaway to Lake Como, and our annual Italian Riviera dream vacation (Genova, Portofino, and Cinque Terre area).

We also have become renowned among cruising enthusiasts for offering the most unique, short term/one day tours and customizable port-of-call visits to Venice. For example, we are the only agency offering rowing lessons on the lagoon and down peaceful canals with a veteran rower in an antique, one-of-a-kind, gondola-style, Venetian vessel.

In response to client requests, we will be expanding into other parts of the world as well. Please check back often to view our updated destinations and vacations. Subscribers to our newsletter will be kept up to date regularly as we add new activities and trips.

WE OFFER MORE THAN JUST GROUP TOURS: OUR GUESTS ALSO MAY CHOOSE CUSTOM, PRIVATELY-ESCORTED, OR SELF-GUIDED VACATIONS:

In addition to our featured, small group tours, we have a solid background and are experienced in working with our guests to create custom, private, guided and self-guided vacations for groups that would like to travel together and have a more personalized experience. This is a great idea for families, friends traveling together, professional conferences, special-interest workshops, family reunions, school groups, wine and culinary clubs, church groups, bands, orchestras and choirs, or just about any other organization!

Thanks to our many close relationships with business owners and personal friends, our guests enjoy many personalized experiences when our group visits Venice. Here, Matteo, our personal taxi driver, chauffers some of our guests down the Grand Canal. Photo: Daniela Anderson
