Small-group tours through the heart of Umbria

What to expect from Villaggio Tours

  • Travel through Italy with Liz, Paolo, and their favorite tour guides
  • Get off the tourist track (and spend time with our Italian family!)
  • Join us for family meals, festivals and celebrations, whether it’s a holiday or not
  • Avoid Italy’s crowds and visit villages where tourists are a welcome rarity
  • Go foraging and harvesting with real farmers and producers, not tour guides 
  • Visit archeological and historical sites most Italians don’t even know exist

Join us to experience the Italy you won't find in guidebooks, on big group tours, or by planning on your own.

Villaggio Tours are immersive, 8-11 day experiences centered around the culture, history, community, family, friendship and food of small villages in Italy.

Lose the crowds and find the Italy you’ve been searching for — where the bonds of family and community are still strong, where strangers become friends, and where long lunches, an extra helping of dessert, and aperitivo whenever we feel like it are just how we roll.
