Five Reasons to Travel with Us

“Travel is fatal to prejudice”  – Mark Twain

1. AUTHENTICITY
Italy is our one and only destination. Our first-hand expert knowledge of Italy provides us with an intimate grasp of its many facets, cuisines, and traditions, and we take great pleasure in sharing it all with you. We pride ourselves in knowing not only the history but also the nuances of contemporary Italian life, and want to help you get to know the friendly, good-natured Italian people, as well as the beauty of their country.

2. VALUE
No hidden costs – all tours and admissions are included in the trip package and there are no options to purchase. Compare what’s included on other tours- some companies expect you to pay extra for sightseeing excursions during your trip. Enjoy the luxury of local guides, a private driver, and full-time tour leader for less than going on your own. Another great value – we welcome you to Italy on Day 1 of your tour, unlike some of our competitors who count your flight over as the first day of your trip, before you even arrive. We won’t skimp on the quality of the goods or services we offer and will continue to strive to keep our prices competitive and affordable.

3. SIZE
It does matter. Because we keep our groups small you will feel less like a tourist and more like a big family. Most other tour groups average size range from 25-50 people. Andiamo Tours group sizes range from 10-16 people.  Besides allowing for more personal attention and a more intimate experience of the country, smaller groups have better access to genuine local restaurants and hotels than do larger groups.

4. BALANCE
Our tours are a comfortable mix of popular destinations and out-of-the-way locations, high-energy cities and peaceful villages. Many of the popular big cities have become crowded and touristy, so we believe that in order to experience the ‘real Italy’ one must venture into the beautiful small towns which still retain the true spirit of Italy. You also enjoy a combination of organized time for included excursions as well as free time to explore on your own or relax.

5. COMFORT

Although we believe that there is no better way to understand our past and present than through the experiences that travel brings, a good trip should also provide you with a feeling of warmth, security, and relaxation. With your own personal small coach bus and driver you’ll travel in style and comfort. Leave the logistics and travel details to your full time tour leader who will escort all trips and keep things running smoothly. And though we see and do (and walk) a lot, the pace of our tours is relaxed so that you can enjoy La Dolce Vita.

An added bonus– all returning tour members get $100 off the price of future tours. Andiamo!
