Quattrocento

March 7 to 15, 2024 (with Florence add-on March 7 to 18)

April 4 to 12, 2024 (with Florence add-on, April 4 to 15)

Currently both trips are fully booked.

On this eight-day tour of Rome and Umbria, we  savor what are, for me, some of the most beautiful paintings in all of Italy.  While we do visit a museum or two, most of these artworks are still where they were meant to be: in churches, libraries or palaces.  In other words, this is a chance to see great art in situ.  We will also have the opportunity to connect with Umbria today: its artisan traditions, its agriculture, and its people.  Indeed one of the highlights of this trip, in addition to the surfeit of beautiful and delicious meals, is our program of evening "cocktail conversations" with local Perugini.  

We are offering at the end of both tours, a 3-day add-on in Florence, which only seems fitting given that, in fact, you cannot really understand the Quattrocento without confronting Florence itself. It will be a treat to settle in for a long weekend in this beautiful city.

Campania Felix

October 12 to 21, 2024

Limited availability

On this ten-day trip, we visit Rome, Naples and some of the fascinating sites around the Bay of Naples: Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Ravello, Pompeii, and Herculaneum. The ruins are fascinating, the local cuisine hard to beat, and the views, from practically anywhere are spectacular. It was for good reason the Ancient Romans referred to this area south of Rome as the happy countryside: Campania Felix.

Sicily

Italian Journey’s November trip to Sicily is without question our most popular. And for good reason. It is island of extraordinary riches: remains of highly sophisticated Greek and Roman populations, astonishing Norman chapels and palaces in Palermo, Baroque cities that lend new meaning to the term, beautiful scenery, and so much more.

Bespoke Tours

Whenever and however you please

With no templates nor fixed itineraries at hand, we work closely with families, couples, and groups of friends to create trips that exceed expectations.  One of the joys of designing these "Bespoke Tours" is pairing travelers, be they 8 or 80, seasoned or neophytes, billionaires or graduate students, with trips that suit their interests, budgets, and dreams.
