Umbria and Tuscany vacation in Italy

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION:

In our commitment to sustainable travel and regenerating the planet for future generations, we have taken measures to reduce carbon emissions in our itineraries. Instead of various high-emission transportation methods, our itinerary encourages participation in human-powered activities such as walking in Civita di Bagnoregio and cycling around Lake Trasimeno. Furthermore, during private transfers, we use newer, more efficient vehicles to minimize the CO2 emissions associated with traveling.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE:

Our trips include eco-friendly experiences like an olive oil experience in Umbria and a saffron experience in San Gimignano, which are set in local rural communities. These engagements indirectly support environmental preservation efforts and provide our clients with unique experiences.

A major part of our approach also involves choosing local accommodations over large international chains. This decision not only offers an exceptional and authentic travel experience but also supports the local economy and reduces the environmental impact of large hotel chains.

With a focus on promoting biodiversity, our itineraries also include agritourism activities. As part of our continuous support to the environment and local communities, we donate 1% of each trip to various sustainability causes, aiding in the global mission of promoting a healthier planet.
