Our tours

Small-group tours in the heart of Umbria

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.
