”From the very first moment of the tour, it was clear: this wasn't about mass tourism, but about genuine encounters, stories, and flavors – about what makes a trip unforgettable. Christine and Davide aren't just hosts; they're facilitators. They open doors to hidden treasures, offer insights, and create connections – all with a warmth and naturalness that immediately touches the heart.
Susi
”We have already joined three of the culinary journeys: Piedmont, Liguria and Lazio/Campania. We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful impressions, visits and tastings. Davide and Christine are truly passionate about what they do, and you can feel it.
Sylvia
”There were so many beautiful, stress-free moments, and yet so much remains in my memory. The shared activities, the feeling of belonging, the perfect blend of freedom and community, a long table and so much regional cuisine, beautiful summer evenings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Everything you need to know
What makes The Hidden Italy different?
Our journeys are about more than seeing sights and ticking places off a list. We focus on the places, people and traditions that make Italy unique – creating genuine encounters and opportunities to experience local life, flavours and stories. Small groups allow us to travel more personally and connect more deeply with the places we visit.
How large are your travel groups?
We deliberately keep our groups small, usually between 6 and 16 travellers. This allows for a more personal way of travelling, with time and space to connect with the people, places and stories along the way.
Small groups also make it possible to visit places and enjoy experiences that would often not be accessible to larger groups – from small family-run accommodations and local workshops to intimate tastings and encounters with the people behind the places we visit. Our tour leaders can get to know the group and provide personal support throughout the journey.
Is travel to and from Italy included?
No. Our travellers join us from different parts of the world, so travel to the starting point in Italy and onward travel from the end point are not included in the journey price.
Our journeys begin and end in cities or locations that are well connected to public transport and, where possible, international airports, making arrival and departure as straightforward as possible. We are also happy to share practical information and suggestions to help you plan your journey to and from Italy. Please note that we do not arrange or book flights.
Are your journeys suitable for solo travellers?
Absolutely. All our journeys are suitable for solo travellers.
Our small groups are intended to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to share the journey with like-minded travellers while still having space for your own moments. During free time or for meals that are not included in the programme, we usually offer suggestions or optional opportunities to spend time together.
How do I book a journey?
Once you have chosen your preferred journey, simply send us a booking request here. We will then send you an offer with all relevant information and details. A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking. And then? Just look forward to your journey through Italy.
I really like your journeys, but I would prefer to travel with my own group. Is that possible?
Yes. We would be delighted to create a private journey for your family, friends, private group or company.
This could be based on one of our existing journeys or developed as something entirely new around your interests, travel style and wishes. From food and wine to art, culture, nature or slow living, we can create a journey that is truly your own.
