Escorted Touring in Italy

Amo l’Italia!

Italy holds such a special place in my heart - an affection forged in my teens when I was an Au Pair in Lugano on the border of Italy and Switzerland. A very special and most wonderful time. Quite simply, I think I fell in love - with Italy, it's people and, basically, all things Italian. Over the years I have visited this stunning country many times. In particular, I have spent many weeks in and around Lake Garda, my children competing in sailing events on this stunning lake with its challenging thermal winds and awe-inspiring alpine back drop.

It’s a country famous not only for its glorious landscapes, rich history and vibrant culture, but also for their hearty Italian food and family centric culture. What's not to love about their lifestyle - their passion for life, style, family (and spending time with them!!), religion and maintaining Catholic traditions, and the pleasure of eating good meals prepared with time, love and dedication.

With its natural beauty, incredible food, art, and style, Italy is a destination where one visit is not enough.

You will be left wanting to come back for more. More culture, more history, more velvety tiramisu, more piping hot melting cheese on your favourite fresh pizza, more gelato - just more Italy.

Yes, Italy can be busy and chaotic. So why not join an escorted tour, with like-minded people, getting the very best from a holiday, taking you to the iconic landmarks and enveloping you with the local lifestyle, traditions and flavours. Travelsphere and Just You (for those wishing to travel as singles or women only small groups) offer excellent escorted tours, boasting experienced local holiday guides that are on hand to share their knowledge of Italy's hidden gems and fascinating insights that you won’t find in a guidebook. And these trips are great value - with flights, transfer, hotels, sightseeing and incredible experiences all included – with of course, full ATOL financial protections!

Now is the time to create your very own, lasting Italian memories. Travelsphere/Just You believes that every holiday should be an adventure to remember. That's why each tour is carefully curated to include incredible experiences that showcase the very best of Italy. Whether it's exploring the ancient ruins of Pompeii, cruising along the romantic canals of Venice, or indulging in a wine tasting in the Tuscan countryside, you'll be at the heart of the adventure, creating unforgettable memories with like-minded travellers. The camaraderie and shared experiences on an escorted tour foster new friendships that can last a lifetime.

Fall in love with Italy - like I did all those years ago. I look forward to helping you plan your own Italy trip and beginning your own special relationship with this very magical country. Ciao!
