Travel Solo, Not Alone:
Guided Small Group Tours
For Women Only
Our groups are only open to six women per tour, which is perfect for solo travelers, a mother/daughter duo, or a couple of friends seeking an unforgettable adventure in Italy! We wander down narrow, winding streets in medieval hilltop towns, explore outdoor markets, discover artisans working in tiny shops, are spellbound by thousands of years of history, and eat simple, delicious food in trattorias nestled in ancient stone alleyways.
Meticulous planning and research goes into every trip to ensure you are getting a perfect balance of local experiences and time to wander and explore at your own pace. We recognize that often the most treasured memory will be something unplanned and serendipitous!

Italy Through Her Eyes:
An Artistic Journey
Celebrate Italy’s iconic and hidden art on this unique tour. Experience masterpieces in world-famous museums and quiet studios, while keeping a personal art & travel journal — blending history, creativity, and self-reflection.
Step into Italy’s grand galleries and quiet ateliers on a women-only journey designed to inspire and awaken creativity. Together we’ll stand before the Sistine Chapel at dawn, wander the Uffizi’s Renaissance halls, and linger among the luminous canals of Venice. Along the way, you’ll meet local artisans, enjoy private workshops, and discover the stories of women artists whose work shaped Italy’s cultural heritage.
Each guest receives a beautifully bound art journal — a space to sketch, paint, and write as we travel. Gentle prompts invite reflection, while afternoons of studio time and guided lessons help bring your impressions to life. Evenings end in conversation over wine, as we share discoveries and celebrate art in its many forms.
With curated hotels, skip-the-line access, and thoughtful pacing, this intimate tour balances iconic masterpieces with hands-on creation and deep connection. More than a trip, it’s a personal invitation to see Italy’s beauty through your own eyes — and bring a piece of it home in your own hand.

Along the way, meet artisans who preserve centuries-old crafts and taste the flavors of a land steeped in history.
Our days unfold slowly and richly: sampling olive oil pressed from thousand-year-old trees, sipping wine among limestone vineyards, and visiting local dairies to see cheese made the way it has been for generations. Evenings invite conversation and connection as we share stories over rustic southern meals and regional wines.
With boutique hotels, private guides, and seamless logistics, this small-group tour invites you to experience Southern Italy’s raw beauty and living traditions — a journey where past and present weave together and every day offers something new to discover.
