offers travelers unique, hand picked tours to Italy's most famous
cities and charming villages with a variety of itineraries and

the world for travelers, according to Travel + Leisure's annual
"World's Best" awards. Rome, Italy came in as the No. 2 city.
Venice came in as the number 3 city.
Unlike other tour packages, our tours give travelers the opportunity
to discover Italy in the company of a native Italian and enjoy
many things tourists seldom get the chance to expereince. Enjoy
lunch on a magnificent hillside olive oil estate, walk or bike
on the walls of Lucca and enjoy a Puccini concert in the town
where Puccini was born. A magnificent blend of incredible natural
beauty, history, art, culture, architecture, wines and food all
await the traveler in Italy, as well as a way of life that inspires
travelers long after they return home. Here is what people that
travel with us say about the experience. "I
want you to know that I had a wonderful time in Italy. The hotel,
the food, our group of travelers, the touring arrangements, the
tour guides ... everything was fantastic." ... "I have
traveled a lot and your tour was by far the best travel experience
I ever had."...Your tour exceeded even my loftiest expectations...thank
you for the trip of a lifetime"
We invite you to join the Italian Cultural Society
