What people love about Northern Italy Tours
Great value for money. Good tour guide. Excellent travel company. Some days the hiking was a bit light. Would have given it 5 stars if the hiking was every day. Also tourradar/intrepid could also consider providing a higher cost tour where we stay at different refuges every day. This will reduce the transportation constraints and time and increase the Dolomites amazing experience.
Hiking in the Dolomites
Italy Real Food Adventure tour is amazing! I'm happy to travel around the cities in Italy and eat all of the food there!

"It’s a perfect tour for senior folks, no rush with plenty time at each viewpoints. The routes are also excellent we enjoyed the trip very much since this was the first time for us to visit the Italian northern lakes and Dolomites area, a fantastic tour to give us a quick overview this beautiful area. Overall I rated this trip a five stars trip as some area could be improved such as the lodging but all hotels are at least 3 stars with private facilities. All hotel locations are very convenient.

Northern Italy can be explored nicely without breaking the bank. Many of our travelers love the 3-day Milan and Lake Como combination - it's quick but covers a lot of ground. The hotels are basic but well-located near transport links, making city exploration really straightforward. People who've taken this tour tell us they like how it mixes guided walks in Milan's old center with free time to discover Lake Como's small towns. There's also a solid 10-day option by train connecting Rome, Florence, Venice and also Milan. It's flexible enough to adjust daily plans, and our customers often mention how local guides help them navigate efficiently while keeping costs in check.
The refined side of Italian travel comes alive in tours that pair excellent hotels with special access. A really popular 15-day route starts in Milan, meanders through the lakes and continues to Venice and also Rome. You'll get private evening visits to St. Mark's Basilica, intimate wine sessions at noble estates and nights in well-chosen 4-star hotels in the best spots. The 10-day Alps and lakes tour is another favorite, with stays in historic palazzos and nice touches like meeting local nobility in their homes. Our guests particularly like having just 20 people max in the group, and the smart scheduling helps dodge the busy times at major attractions.

The Dolomites hiking tours work really well for solo travelers - our groups are small and the guides adjust the routes based on weather and how everyone's feeling. Previous travelers tell us they love finding quiet spots for picnics and learning about the UNESCO mountain landscapes. If you're into food, the Venice, Bologna and Rome tours let you get hands-on with pasta making and explore local markets without feeling awkward on your own. People particularly mention how much they enjoy having hotels right in the center and sharing meals with their group. Lake Como is another good option - you'll stay in one nice lakeside town and take daily walks to different viewpoints and villages, joining group activities when you want or exploring by yourself.
Our northern lakes tours really hit the mark for couples, running 4-6 days from Milan through Lake Como, Lake Garda and also Verona. Past guests tell us they love having both guided walks and free time, especially in Bellagio where they can wander the old streets together whenever they like. The Bernina Express train adds something special - you'll share incredible Alpine views through big panoramic windows. For couples who like being active together, the Dolomites hiking tours combine quiet mountain paths with lovely Alpine hotels serving excellent local food.
Our active tours that mix outdoor activities with city life really appeal to young adults. The 10-day Italy Escape connects Rome, Florence and also Venice by train, with a good balance of guided tours and free time to explore. Many like having the transport sorted between cities while keeping the freedom to find their own favorite spots. The northern lakes tours are popular too, particularly when combined with Milan's fashion scene and evening aperitivo culture. The food tours through Venice, Bologna and also Tuscany let you learn traditional cooking right from local producers.
The northern lakes tours work perfectly for seniors with their well-planned 4-6 day itineraries covering Lake Como, Lake Garda and also Verona. Our guides share detailed historical knowledge while keeping an easy pace that works for everyone. The Bernina Express train journey is a real highlight - you get amazing mountain views from comfortable seats without any difficult walking. Many of our senior travelers also enjoy the food tours through Venice and also Bologna, where you can learn about traditional products while staying in central hotels that keep walking distances short.
