Answering your questions
We believe travel is more than just seeing new places. It is more than going everywhere in the latest internet listicle titled "Top 10 Things to See in Italy." We want you to truly get a feel for the place, lose yourself in new tastes, and immerse yourself in the culture. At Soul Italy, we want to offer a richer, deeper way of touring Italy. We want to infuse each moment with genuine connection.
It is a lofty goal, but we have experience achieving it, with over 20 years in the industry. Our custom tours of Italy are curated with care. We don't plan rushed itineraries for our clients but carefully create a custom trip plan from our catalog of tour "ingredients". These are things like charming, handpicked accommodations, restaurants that have been carefully researched and chosen for the quality of the meals and the ingredients prepared by local chefs, and cultural experiences and sites that really get to the root of Italian culture.
Every single detail of a tour has been tested by us. We search for local guides, historians, artisans, farmers, business owners, and anyone who has a truly authentic product or experience to offer. We want you to learn about our land and ingredients from the people who grow them. Listen to a vineyard owner explain how the amount of light the north-facing part of a hillside receives in a year changes the taste of the grapes vs. those on the south side and how you can taste it in the wine. Feel the richness of a gianduiotto (a type of hazelnut chocolate from the Piedmont region) dissolve on your tongue as a local chocolatier tells you about how blockades during WWII contributed to its rise in popularity.
On one of our tours, you might wake up in a Sicilian villa, where you'll spend the day wandering through olive groves, sampling the different qualities of oil, and learning about the local olive oil traditions. Maybe your eyes will open in a boutique hotel in Apulia with a view over the Adriatic Sea, the sound of the waves gently pulling you awake. You'd spend the afternoon learning the secrets of traditional cheesemaking and finish the evening sharing stories over a delectable aperitivo at a local bar. We work to bring you into Italy and to immerse you in its people, its flavors, and its traditions.
Travel should be more than checking off destinations. With Soul Italy, travel in connection with the culture and create memories that you will cherish forever.
