Cultural tour of Italy, Verona to Milan

Planet

We use the train as the main means of transport throughout the itinerary. Where destinations cannot be reached by rail, transportation is provided by local companies.

On Lake Garda, we work with a local company that operates an electric boat. The boat is powered by electricity and is designed to operate without direct exhaust emissions. Traveling by electric boat also provides a quieter experience on the lake compared with boats using conventional engines.

The itinerary includes visits to historical buildings, smaller towns and places connected with different periods of Italian history. These destinations include cultural heritage sites that are less frequently visited than Italy’s best-known cities and attractions.

People

On this tour, you will have the opportunity to visit craftsmen’s workshops and local food laboratories to discover traditional skills such as violin making and the preparation of handmade tortellini.

Artisans open their workshops to visitors, explaining their work, techniques and the history of their craft. At the tortellini laboratory, for example, travelers can see how tortellini are made by hand.

The itinerary can include additional visits and workshops according to your interests and availability. We can arrange opportunities to meet local artisans and learn about traditional crafts and food production in the places visited.

In the historic centers of many of the towns included in the itinerary, you will also find traditional shops, including businesses that have been run by the same family for several generations. Travelers can visit these shops and purchase typical local products.

We can provide suggestions for local shops and businesses on request. In smaller towns, English may not be widely spoken, but local shopkeepers and artisans can still provide an opportunity for informal interaction and cultural exchange.
