About Ultimate Italy Tours (formerly Adventure On), LLC
We offer world class, boutique, guided tours to Italy for people who don’t want to or
don’t have time to plan their own trip, but still want to have some freedom in their
traveling and fully experience the amazing Italian culture and historic sites. This
experience is provided by keeping our tour group size half the size, or smaller, than
other “small group” tour companies and using mostly local, family run restaurants and
accommodations that are close to the heart of the city. Unlike most boutique and
specialty tours we provide almost all meals, more activities, optimal free time, and no
getting on and off large tour buses to maximize the value for your money. Additionally,
because of our intimate travel style we can easily immerse you into the culture of the
cities we stay in. As a result, we are able to navigate the towns and cities like the
locals, by foot, or on buses, trains and subways. While on our tours, you will truly
experience what it’s like to “live” in Italy during the time you are there.
Buon Viaggio!
