Discovering Italy is based in Umbria, that wonderful, magical "green heart" of Italy, land of the saints, with its Etruscan treasures, Medieval hill-top towns, Renaissance piazzas and enduringly warm and generous people.

All programmes and itineraries offer a wide variety of options throughout the Italian peninsula with a special focus on Umbria, Rome and Florence.

With offices in Australia and Italy we offer:

  • Fully escorted individual or group travel
  • Customised/Tailor-made itineraries for small groups or individuals
  • Special focus, small group tours: "hands-on" classes in sketching, ceramics and cooking
  • Master classes: painting, drawing, ceramics, maiolica decorating
  • Build your own itinerary from complete, single-day· modules
  • Better choices for Senior travellers
  • School groups

All programmes include options for:

  • Excellent accomodation: monastery, 3*-5* hotels, villas, apartments, B&Bs, agriturismi
  • A huge choice of activities across a broad range of interests
  • 24 hour assistance where needed - English speaking guides

 

We take our time to show you the REAL Italy, through language and culture, the arts, nature, history and the amazing tastes and traditions of a great gastronomic heritage.
