Mission & Philosophy The "Tourissimo Experience": Their mission is to design vacations that feed the "mind, body, and soul" by connecting travelers to a region's authentic culture, people, and traditions. 100% Italy Focus: Unlike many global operators, they focus almost exclusively on Italy (with occasional forays into neighboring countries). They have designed tours in all 20 Italian regions. Authenticity & Slow Travel: They prioritize "slow travel," taking guests behind the scenes and away from crowds to support local communities and economies. Core Services Cycling & Hiking Tours: They offer a wide range of trips including road cycling, gravel tours, and culinary-focused "Chef Bike Tours." Custom & Private Itineraries: About half of their business consists of custom-tailored private tours for solo travelers, families, cycling clubs, and corporate groups. Guaranteed Departures: They are known for guaranteeing most scheduled departures with as few as two guests. B2B Services: They act as a local partner (DMC) for other tour operators and travel agents, providing logistics, route scouting, and local guiding. What Sets Them Apart Local Expertise: The owners and guides are personally based in Italy, allowing them to vet every hotel, restaurant, and route. No Outsourcing: Every tour is designed and managed in-house rather than being handed off to third-party operators. Community Impact: They emphasize sustainable growth and beneficial relationships with the local Italian communities they visit.
