The Adagio Traveler:Independent. Discerning. Inquisitive. Appreciate structure while realizing the value of spontaneity. Turned off by big tour buses. Prefer "small and charming" to "lavish and grandiose." Enjoy physical activity, but not if it means missing the flavor of your surroundings. Sound like you?If so, Adagio Travel was conceived with you in mind. In Italian, adagio means "slowly, with care, gently," and this is exactly how our tours are paced. Since 1999 we have been creating and catering journeys to less-traveled parts of Italy for small groups of like-minded travelers. In 2005 we added a trip to a private manor house owned by friends of ours in Provence, France. Mosey our way. . .What sets our small group trips apart? Clients say it's the feeling of being an honored guest, rather than a tourist. Our founder studied in France and Italy, has worked in tourism for nearly 20 years and lived in Italy from 1997 to 2002. She puts together tours in the places she knows best and that recall her fondest memories. They reflect her view that your travel experience should stay with you much longer than the few days you are away from home. Most of our groups are made up of 8 to 10 people, never more than 16. Our tours last from 6 to 10 days and are priced from $2,440. |
 
  Comments on our Custom-Designed Journeys: I have trouble expressing how well this trip went. I've done quite a bit of traveling, and have organized numerous trips myself, and this was the best ever. Thank you for all your insight and hard work. Tom S Tasting the Lost Corners of Tuscany was a spectacular experience, where you [got] a true sense of the Tuscany of old. The food, accommodations and company were all delightful. I really felt like we were welcome and I made some great new friends. Evelyn P How Was Your Day in Chianti with Adagio? [I]t was really the highlight of our trip... the day ... was fantastic, even/especially for people in their early to mid twenties. A wine tasting or two, a tour of Greve, a trip to a real cheese farm, and of course the best meal of our lives. I can't imagine that someone of any age would not be interested, especially if they enjoy learning about other cultures and food. [T]his trip is appropriate for someone who is interested about learning the history and lifestyle of Tuscany/the Chianti region and has an open mind, sense of adventure, and really enjoys eating.
