Italy has been a hot travel destination since the age of the "Grand Tour." Its allure hasn't faded at all, thanks to the country's astonishing natural beauty, cultural diversity, historical riches, delectable cuisine and welcoming people. But for travelers who want to really get in touch with the country, and experience the lifestyle on a deeper level, it's important to seek out an Italy tour that takes you beyond the usual checklist of "must-sees."
It helps to look for a tour operator that has both experience and expertise. Tour operator Tauck, in business for over 87 years, has built a reputation for well-planned Italy tours that engage the senses and immerse travelers in their destination. The added benefit of putting your schedule in the hands of such a trusted tour operator is that you can sit back and revel in the experience, without having to worry about the stresses of travel.
