Italy Tours & Holidays 2012 & 2013

In presenting our Italy tours, we are continuing the long tradition of British visitors to the country.


Our Italy tours and holidays in 2011 & 2012 present a comprehensive selection of touring, classic resorts, weekend breaks, rail journeys, river cruise and coastal cruising and is currently one of our most popular Europe tours.

Italy has one of the oldest tourism industries in the world, having been amongst the principal destinations on the ‘Grand Tour’. They came to sample the ancient Renaissance and Baroque delights of Venice, Florence and Tuscany, Rome, Naples and Sicily. Today’s travellers seek the same treasures in one of the world’s most beautiful countries.

This is a country of many contrasts with its cities full of antiquity, culture and sophistication and the special magic of its countryside and coastline, all bathed in a gentle climate. Excellent cuisine and fine wines, musical interludes and sightseeing excursions, elegant shops and boutiques encompass the picture of a land that caters perfectly for both the body and the soul. Whilst the primary focus of our Italy tours is on exploration of the great sites of Classical, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque Italy, the opportunity is afforded for relaxation with congenial company in comfortable surroundings.
