Food, Wine, Culture & Island Discovery

Italy is a destination many travellers dream about, but a short visit often only scratches the surface. This extended journey combines the flavours of mainland Italy with the rich history and island cultures of Sicily and Malta, creating a deeper exploration of one of Europe's most loved regions. Begin among the historic cities, rolling countryside and culinary traditions of mainland Italy. Experience the charm of Tuscany and Umbria, discover Florence's Renaissance treasures, hunt for truffles with local experts, taste Chianti among the vineyards and enjoy authentic food experiences that connect you with the regions you visit. Continue south to discover the Mediterranean influences of Sicily and Malta. Explore historic towns, ancient sites, dramatic landscapes and distinctive local traditions, from the slopes of Mount Etna to the streets of Valletta and Taormina. By combining two complementary journeys, you can experience more of Italy's remarkable diversity without needing to coordinate every hotel, transfer and connection yourself.

Small Group Travel, Designed Differently

This journey has been selected for travellers who want a more personal way to experience Europe. Rather than travelling as part of a large group, these small group itineraries allow for a more immersive style of travel, with opportunities for distinctive stays, local guides, regional food experiences and cultural encounters that bring each destination to life. Enjoy the confidence of having the details carefully arranged while still experiencing the moments that make travel memorable: meeting local people, discovering regional traditions and having time to appreciate the places you visit.

Why I Like This Journey

For Australians travelling such a long distance to Europe, I love the idea of spending enough time in a region to truly appreciate its differences. Italy is not one single experience. The landscapes, cuisine and culture vary enormously from north to south, and this journey provides time to discover those regional differences.

Ideal For

Travellers who love food, wine, culture and history, and want a more immersive Italian experience beyond a standard highlights tour.

Amalfi, Puglia, Sicily & The Islands

Southern Italy offers a different rhythm of travel, where dramatic coastlines, ancient towns, local traditions and regional flavours come together. This extended journey explores some of Italy's most distinctive regions, from the beauty of the Amalfi Coast to the whitewashed towns of Puglia, the volcanic landscapes of Sicily and the relaxed island atmosphere of the Aeolian Islands. Discover the stories behind the places you visit through hands-on experiences, including local food traditions, family producers and cultural encounters. Walk among lemon groves, taste regional wines, stay in unique accommodation and explore towns shaped by centuries of history. This is Italy beyond the postcard, offering time to experience regions that many travellers never reach.

Why I Like This Journey

Many travellers return to Italy again and again because there is always another side to discover. While cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice often receive the attention, southern Italy rewards travellers who are curious about local traditions, slower moments and places with a strong sense of identity.

Ideal For

Travellers who have dreamed of Italy's coastlines, countryside and islands, or those looking to discover a different side of Italy beyond the usual highlights.

Mountains, Lakes, Coastal Villages & Italian Culture

Some journeys are memorable not because of a single destination, but because of the way the landscapes change along the way. This extended European journey brings together some of the continent's most spectacular scenery, travelling from the dramatic peaks of the Alps through Switzerland's mountain landscapes before continuing into northern Italy's lakes, coastlines and historic cities. Experience iconic alpine destinations including Chamonix, Mont Blanc, the Jungfrau region and the scenic GoldenPass train before crossing into Italy, where the journey continues through Lake Maggiore, the Italian Riviera, Portofino, Cinque Terre, Tuscany, Florence and Venice. From mountain views and lakeside villages to coastal scenery and Italian flavours, this journey showcases how beautifully different regions of Europe can connect when thoughtfully combined.

Why I Like This Journey

After recently travelling through Switzerland and Italy's Ligurian Coast, this style of journey really resonates with me. Some of my favourite moments weren't about rushing between famous landmarks, but having time to appreciate the scenery, local experiences and smaller destinations along the way. Combining the Alps with northern Italy creates a wonderful balance of natural beauty, culture and regional discovery.

Ideal For

Travellers who love scenery, photography, rail journeys and combining Europe's natural landscapes with culture, cuisine and memorable local experiences.
