Hidden Italy
Hidden Italy’s Guided Walking Tours are a unique way to discover a side of this fascinating country that most people only read about. The pace is relaxed (it is a holiday after all) which gives you plenty of time to unpack and soak up the atmosphere of the places we visit. We go to places that are well off the regular tourist trails and focus on a single area with its own history and cultural traditions. You will travel in small groups (maximum 15) led by experienced, bi-lingual guides.
Ombre Blu³
Discover hidden gems of the Italian coastline and islands, still unfamiliar to most visitors to Italy as you set sail on your privately chartered luxury catamaran. Destinations include the Amalfi Coast, the Aeolian Islands (Sicily), Palermo & the Egadi Islands (West Sicily), Sardinia & Corsica and South Sardinia, plus Greece from 2020.
