The Italian peninsula offers 5,000 miles (8,000km) of coastline, dotted with numerous colorful towns from north to south, east to west.
Superciao Tour offers boat excursions which permit travelers the unique experience of a view from the sea.
See Italy as Ulysees may have seen it on his voyage. Follow the breathtaking coastline which alternates from rocky to stretches of sandy beaches, to hidden grottoes, and invites you to take a dip in its crystal waters. You too, like Italy’s numerous conquering people, will be compelled to stay, or at least to return.

With a Superciao Tour, you will have the opportunity to visit a typical artisanal craft workshop (Guild) dating to Medieval times.
You will see “Masters” at their craft and be able to follow the creative process for glass, leather, paper, ceramic, wrought iron, laces, coral, furniture, and footwear.

A very important part of any country’s culture is its gastronomy, and our groups are invited to savor Italy’s traditional flavors at local and large scale export production sites for special tasting events. You will assist in the creative process and then taste the final product.
Your palate will experience the delicacy of first pressed oil, new and aged wine, freshly shaped mozzarella, parmiggiano, hot baked bread, luxurious chocolate and all the typical products that make Italian cooking world renowned.

Superciao Tour also offers full-day excursions to surrounding cities within a 150km radius of your lodging location.
The 150 km distance restriction still affords plenty of time to reach the city, tour its sights, and be back at the hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
The option of returning to your hotel after dinner is also available, but is contingent on the composition of the group and its interests.
The full day excursion is also contingent upon total group reguest, i.e. all group participants must register for the full day excursion.

Italy is a country that offers more touring options than any other country, making it a destination of choice for travelers.
Along with the tours of art, architecture, and museums, why not glide through Venice’s canals on a gondola, or view Florence’s panorama by climbing to the top of its Bell Tower? Experience a bird’s eye view of the Glory of Rome from the top of St. Peter’s Dome, or, see the Madonnina of Milano close-up, by walking along the Duomo spires. Why not climb the leaning Tower in Pisa? Prefer to see a quieter side of Italy? Take a bicycle ride along serene, unexplored paths in Italy’s breath taking countryside.
