senior travel

We are pleased to be able to offer some exciting, comprehensive programs tailored specifically to the needs of senior travellers. We consider this to be a special market of mature, discerning travellers who would like to travel with every comfort and with every detail taken care of both before leaving Australia as well as during their travels. We understand how to customise programs for ready-made groups as part of a society with special interests or simply as a group of friends travelling together, as well as individuals who might appreciate having an accompanying host or guide with them at all times.

Programs may be devised in direct consultation with our Australian-based Education and Seniors Director and may be customised to suit your specific needs. While we are specialists in central Italy (Rome::Umbria::Florence::Venice), we are also able to provide complete packaged itineraries throughout the rest of the Italian peninsula. Discovering Italy offers an extensive variety of travel options from group travel to independent, fully guided itineraries and programs. We can arrange an entire journey for you, assisting you with air travel from Australia, transfers and specialist programs, or, if you are already travelling and just want a small excursion, we can meet you in Florence or Rome (for example) and facilitate a guided tour of the city, the history, art, architecture and the fabulous markets.

Choose from our prepared itineraries, or discuss with us how we can customise a program for you or your group. Discovering Italy also offers specialist programs including language classes, cooking, painting, drawing and ceramics that run over each year.

Accommodation options range from very comfortable Franciscan monasteries to 3, 4 & 5 star hotels as well as a range of small apartments, B&Bs and other luxury accommodation.

Included in all programs is a very generous basic structure with a specific focus and may also include Italian language lessons as a continuation of any previous language study or as a simple, introductory “Survival Italian” course to help you settle in. Some of the many activities that may be added are cooking lessons, ceramic studio classes, drawing and painting on site, tastings of local produce, specialist winery or gastronomic tours, excursions to several other typical towns and villages in Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany, as well as visits to major centres such as Rome, Florence and Venice and guided visits to all magor museums and galleries.

Let us create a unique programme for you!
