Go beyond Rome and Florence and experience the real Italy. The Traveling Professor has designed a delightful itinerary as an introduction to a new and refreshing Italy full of history, architecture, food, art, culture, and natural beauty that most tourists never see.
For instance, the extraordinary Scrovegni Chapel, the historic university of Galileo, and the markets of Padua are sights not often visited on an Italy tour. Romeo and Juliet are brought to life in Shakespeare’s romantic Verona. The memory of Andrea Palladio’s Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza will remain for years. Go within the ancient walls of Treviso, it’s beauty, food and culture will surprise you. Bassano del Grappa, at the foothills of the Dolomites is an Italy you never thought existed. Experience all this and more with knowledgeable and professional tour guides, providing insight that cannot be found with tour books, phone apps, or audio guides. If you are a seasoned traveler yearning for an authentic Italian experience, this tour is for you.
