Our guide Eduardo, was first class in every way. Can’t praise him highly enough. The walks were great even though the level of walking varied enormously over 16 people on the trip - in my view way too many people for 1 guide. Eduardo did a very good job corralling so many people but I would advise Explor to max out walking guests at no more than 8-10. Accom was good, food great. Allore and andiarmo.

Overall, tour was amazing. Hotels were accommodating and being given transportation to each location was a huge help. I’m leaving 4 stars and not 5 because I thought our hotel for the Cinque Terre portion would actually be in one of the five towns, not in La Spezia. La Spezia was not a nice area, had nowhere to get dessert at night, and was by far the worst town we stayed in.

Great value tour, our guide Didi was extremely helpful. All accomodation very good. Unfortunately rain meant we were unable to partake in the Prosecco tasting.

Best time to visit Northern Italy
- Spring 2026
Spring hits the sweet spot for Northern Italy's lakes and mountain tours. Starting from Milan, our April-May routes head to Lake Como where the Alps create perfect mirror images on the quiet waters. The 4-day northern lakes circuit really works well this time of year - you get perfect weather for boat rides to Bellagio and walks through Villa Carlotta as the camellias start to show their colors. Over at Lake Garda, our travelers love watching the Mediterranean plants wake up along the coastal paths. When May comes around, the Dolomites hiking tours begin just as alpine meadows fill with wildflowers, and those occasional snowy patches on high trails make for great photo opportunities.

- Summer 2026
Summer opens up every mountain trail in Northern Italy. Our 8-day Dolomites programs mix serious hiking with nice hotels in Dobbiaco, and the Three Peaks circuit gives you views that seem to go on forever. The lakes really come alive too - Como and Garda are perfect for mixing culture with swimming breaks. We build in time between town visits so you can cool off at local beaches. The Bernina Express train comes with welcome air conditioning for the Alps crossing, and those warm evenings work perfectly for tasting sessions at Franciacorta's hillside wine estates.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn brings out the best in Northern Italy's food scene. September and October visitors join the wine harvest in Franciacorta, where our small groups get private tastings at family vineyards. The mild weather makes city walks much nicer - especially around Milan's Duomo without the summer crowds. Lake Como puts on a show as mountain leaves turn gold and red, making a perfect setting for boat trips to Bellagio and also Varenna. Our Bologna cooking classes really shine this season too - you'll learn to make fresh pasta while trying new olive oils and wines straight from harvest.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter brings a different perspective to the classic Italian routes through Rome, Florence and also Venice, with our travelers enjoying the calmer atmosphere. The gondola rides feel more personal without tourist crowds, letting local guides share secret parts of Venice's narrow streets. WhatsApp support throughout each journey proves especially useful when winter weather affects plans, while the itineraries combine guided Colosseum and Roman Forum tours with time to explore independently. Our customers often mention how they appreciate seeing St. Mark's Basilica without the usual queues, and train journeys between cities showcase snow-covered landscapes through the windows. The hotels, positioned near main transport links, make it simple to explore despite the cool temperatures. Flexible scheduling means adjusting activities around weather patterns, and local guides know just where to find welcoming restaurants and indoor activities during the chillier days.
