Italy

Among the destinations we cover, Italy occupies a special place. It’s the place we live in, it’s one of the most popular European countries, and it’s stunning!

Here we will tell you all about Italian culture, traditions, gastronomy and whatever made the country a top holiday destination for so many years, but we will also give you essential tips for travelling to Italy and detailed guides to cities and regions.

Planning a trip to Italy your own is totally possible. With a widespread railway network, international and domestic flights, urban and extra-urban buses, great hotels, and a huge choice of restaurants not only in big cities but also small towns, you can organize a perfect Italian holiday for you and your family.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to enjoy a relaxing holiday without the hassle of taking care of the logistics, check out G Adventures tours.

Their 14-day Iconic Italy tour will take you to explore the country’s ancient history, its Renaissance past as well as its natural beauty. The itinerary includes stops in Italy’s most popular destinations impossible to miss if it’s your first trip, such as Florence, Venice, Rome, and Pompeii.
