That’s why we focus on creating some of the Best Small Group Tours Italy travelers can experience — tailored to your travel style, whether you’re a foodie, a culture buff, a romantic at heart, or an off-the-beaten-path explorer.
Before choosing a tour, take a moment to reflect on what excites you most about visiting Italy. Ask yourself:
Your travel style matters — and it’s the foundation for choosing the right tour. For example, if you’re a first-time visitor, the “Italian Treasures” tour covers iconic cities and landmarks with a relaxed, in-depth approach. If you’ve been to Italy before and want something new, you might fall in love with “Puglia Paradise”, which explores lesser-known gems with incredible food, history, and architecture.
One of the most important elements of a tour is the group size and daily rhythm. Nada’s Italy keeps its small group tours truly small — no buses, no crowds, just a close-knit group of 6–12 travelers, with your expert Journey Director leading the way.
Some tours are more fast-paced, with more travel between destinations, while others are more relaxed with multiple nights in one place. For example:
If you're someone who prefers unpacking just once or twice, look for itineraries with longer stays in each city.
Every region of Italy has its own flavor — literally and figuratively. Choosing a tour that matches your passions ensures a more fulfilling experience.
For food & wine lovers:
Go for tours that include cooking classes, vineyard visits, and market strolls. Nada’s Italy offers these across all tours, but “Florence & Tuscany” or “Bolognia & Umbria” are especially rich in culinary experiences.
