"Italy must be on everyone's top five list of places to visit, so why not turn the list into reality by allowing a trusted agency to do all the work so travelers can have all the fun? Dream Italia offers a variety of trips, each focused on a region of this beautiful country. Traveling in small groups of about 14 people, Dream Italia tour guides lead tourists through castles, vineyards and Mediterranean resorts; through Florence, Naples and Tuscany. All one has to do is show up. And if pre-planned trips do not stir any excitement, Dream Italia is willing and ready to build a new package, customized to fit the needs and desires of travelers. So bring friends, bring family or mingle with new people on this incredible adventure to the cities of love."

Dreaming
of Italy Leads to Dream Italia
“Elizabeth Montana’s company, Dream Italia, was
born (…) and she has never looked back. Much of her
time now is spent taking others to Italy. They spend time (…)
on cooking tours, they visit vineyards, they tour museums,
village markets, castles, they hike the countryside. In short,
they live the dolce vita.”

Amalfi Coast where visitors jump from the deck into the glorious
sea and enjoy a delicious Italian picnic on the coast.”
