Italy
The natural splendour, exquisite old towns, and peerless gastronomy of Italy have been setting pulses racing for centuries. This is a land of magnetic charm, at turns gentle and grand – witness the Italian Lakes, their surrounding slopes rising from tenderly cultivated land up to savage Alpine peaks. Likewise, the antique landscapes of Tuscany and Umbria are a joy to explore: olive groves and vineyards worked by man for millennia mingle with remote pockets of untamed wilds, such as the beautiful Valnerina. Italy’s coast is blessed with many treasures: the Cinque Terre and, further south, the iconic Amalfi Coast offer seductive villages and peaceful walking trails, all bathed in the golden Mediterranean light. From Alpine snows to Sicilian sands, wherever you go the queen of European countries offers matchless experiences.

This trip was something I will never forget..Italy is such a beautiful country and every corner we turned was more spectacular, and to wander through Tuscany and soak in the history was all I could have asked for.

Be open to experiencing another culture so you don't expect things to be like "at home." Make the most of the other people on the tour and their experiences.

"Fantastic trip, loved the area and of course the food and wine was superb. Our guide was so charming and helpful and introduced personal touches which I loved. The walking was so beautiful and the historical aspect was fascinating."
