Italy

Italy is a layered mosaic of prehistoric mysteries, abandoned villages, and surprising cultural detours. Beyond Rome and Venice, you’ll find ancient petroglyphs, quirky modern landmarks, and valleys where history is etched in stone.

Whether you’re tracing Bronze Age carvings at Valcamonica, marveling at a towering Moai statue replica outside Milan, or wandering the whimsical streets of the nearby Disney village, our Italy trips reveal the country’s wild, unexpected side.

This is Italy for the curious: part archaeology, part pop culture, part offbeat adventure. We arrange every detail, so you can focus on uncovering Italy’s hidden narratives no tourist crowds, just stories.
