This tour begins in Emilia-Romagna with four nights in Bologna. You will explore the city of Bologna, take part in a walking food tour, and visit important sites in the city. We will visit Tuscany for an olive harvesting experience, a honey tasting, and time in the city! Next, we spend four nights in the Marche region, just outside of Urbino in a 14th-century country estate. We will explore the city of Urbino, go on a truffle hunt, and visit the 3rd smallest country in Europe. (San Marino!) This tour is filled with unique experiences and opportunities that are only available in the autumn during harvest season!
This is a guided tour designed for women only. The maximum group size is 6 women per tour. Our guided tours include individual, private rooms in 4 star hotels, breakfast each day, all ground transportation for tour activities, transfers to and from the airport, and robust itineraries. You are met on the ground in Italy by your guide, who will travel with you until you depart for the airport. Our goal is to provide women with a group of other women to travel with, while maintaining a sense of independence. Our motto is "Travel Solo, Not Alone!" and we find that our groups tend to bond and develop friendships that last beyond Italy!
