Overview

---

Italy is not only a beautiful country but is one of those countries which you will probably have some questions and preconceptions, before you’re actually coming to this special country. A place of olive oil, pasta, wine, mafia and sunshine, roman ruins and renaissance palaces, Italy has a lot to gift its tourists. Although some of these conceptions are amazing and interesting, it would be a shame if that was the only thing you come away with. Italy is certainly much more complex and stimulating than these concepts. Italy is a country full of interesting things for the casual tourist and the educated tourist; it has deep Roman Catholic roots. The tourists may stay weeks in important tourist centers without reason to feel bored, but it is equally simple to get off the beaten track. In the north, next to the Alps and the landscapes of the Po River, many cultural gems and highly developed industrial cities fascinate. In this exciting country the people live the "la vita Italiana". Come! Enjoy our ‘Glory of Italy’ – the tour will highlight glorious Italy in front of you which once you have dreamt to visit.
