If you have been searching for that genuine Italian small group tour away from the hordes of tourists, then a Lombardy Delights Tour is for you! The itineraries have been designed specifically for travellers interested in experiencing the hidden and less frequented, yet beautiful parts of Italy. You'll enjoy an intimate look at the real Italy with a small group of fellow travellers and tour leaders who are passionate about the beautiful northern Italian region of Lombardy.
The 9 day Classic and 15 day Fine Food Wine and Wonders itineraries include visits to Milan, the spectacular Lake Como, a trip to Europe’s largest designer shopping outlet and a host of hidden delights. Lombardy Delights Tour Directors Jim and Lynette Romagnesi are quick to stress that it is the hidden delights that are the true attractions of the Lombardy and Piedmont regions.
The Fine Food, Wine and Wonders itinerary also includes a day in St Moritz, Switzerland, a visit to the majestic city of Turin (with a morning visit to Eataly - a haven for foodies from all over the world!) and a lovely lunch in the Barolo wine region of Piedmont.
Rivalling the beauty of Tuscany, yet not overrun with tourists, the diverse Lombard and Piedmont countryside comprises beautiful lakes, rice fields skirted by poplar plantations, rolling green hills laden with vineyards, and the beautiful Apennine mountain range. Add to this natural landscape, a generous smattering of gorgeous medieval villages, monasteries and churches, and you have the makings of a truly unique and uplifting experience on a Lombardy Delights’ tour. Guests dine at highly respected local restaurants and trattorias, and also get the opportunity to visit the beautiful vineyards of the Oltrepo Pavese and Piedmont regions Jim and Lynette are determined to keep group sizes small (max. 8 guests) and their prices reasonable. “Great service and excellent quality at a decent price are our main aims”, says Jim. “We want to provide guests with a truly personal experience. Great food, great wine, and good company should not cost you the earth!”
Places are now available for 2010 June, July, August, September and October tours. OR
