Why do so many artists visit Italy?

Italy is home to some of the greatest artists in history—and not just Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Italy has incredible glass-blowers, playwrights, and crafters. It also has some of the most notable sites from famous works of art, like Shakespeare’s fair Verona, the Amalfi coast, and the Sicilian backdrops for Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic movie The Godfather.

What our travelers say about their art & culture tours

Trip and learning experience of a lifetime.

By 1st-time traveler Elena on 09/06/19

This trip was an amazing experience. Our tour guides, bus drivers and accommodations were outstanding. I would definitely recommend this trip for the under 70 age group, as it requires endurance and a full pace every day.

This tour was a fabulous mix of countryside and city sites. We had wonderful meals, saw a variety of cultural, historic sites (both antiquities and modern history), wonderful art and street life. It was a sensation for the senses.
