South Tyrol Tours for Solo Travelers
In South Tyrol, Alpine peaks meet Italian charm in the most natural way. You might spend the morning walking past wooden farmhouses and green meadows near Ortisei, then pause for lunch in Bolzano with a plate of pasta and a glass of local wine. German and Italian influences blend in the food, the language, and the architecture, giving the region a calm, distinctive feel that’s hard to forget.

The tour was very nice with amazing views and Andy was a great guide. It would have been nice if the hotel we stayed at offered something warm for breakfast as well instead of just plain sandwitches, cereal and sweets.
