ABRUZZO TOURS

History and Art, Family and Research, Nature and Landscapes, Food & Wines in the Heart of Italy!

Since 1997, Abruzzo Tours has worked in the tourism and genealogy fields. We offer a wide range of services to those interested in discovering, or rediscovering, an unspoiled Italy, with our main focus on Abruzzo and the surrounding regions. Thanks to our services, many of our North American, Australian, and South American clients have been able to find out about their Italian heritage, to walk the narrow, stone-paved streets walked by their grandparents, to hear the toll of the bells that called them home, and more... So many have met and lingered over meals with long-lost relatives where we assisted as interpreters, that our logbook includes almost more reunions than we can count.

For ten years now that we have been escorting groups and individuals from all over the world, to every single corner of Abruzzo - including favorite destinations in nearby regions as Rome, Pompei, Assisi. It is a pleasure and a privilege for us to be able to introduce our visitors to the Abruzzese unique, lively culture, to assist them in discovering the heritage and culture of a region that was rich in civilization well before the Romans, its ancient traditions, unspoiled natural beauty, amazing artisanship and unparalleled artistic treasures ... A rare chance to experience another Italy far away from the beaten paths ... an Italy of local festivals, real people, warm welcomes and genuine cuisine. Our tours are small-sized, affording our visitors customised, friendly service. We are sure that you too will fall in love with this region, with the home-made food and great wines made from the rich grapes growing under the Adriatic sun.

Abruzzo is the long-lost Italy you've been searching for: awe-inspiring mountains, wooded solitudes, verdant gentle hills rolling toward warm sandy beaches, bustling medieval cities and unspoiled hill towns where centuries-old traditions persist, and generous welcoming people. Untouched by mass tourism, it offers an unrivaled opportunity to experience an unadulterated and genuine culture. Abruzzo's craftsmen, practicing centuries-old arts like ceramic, lace, wrought iron and jewelry making, are among Italy's finest. And the region's cuisine is perhaps Italy's most diverse and imaginative. Abruzzese cooks have long been considered among Italy's best.

2009 has been a bad year for our region, because of the 6 April earthquake that hit L'Aquila and its surroundings. However, the largest part of Abruzzo did not suffer from the earthquake, and areas along the coast are non-seismic. While we are looking forward to re-offering safe itineraries into and near L'Aquila as soon as possible, our new tour plans focus on these safest locations in the region. Therefore we are glad to introduce our brand-new Food and Wine Tours for 2010, to offer our prospective travelers the best our beloved region has to offer. As always, our tour policy is: small groups, friendly atmosphere, utmost care for details. Those who already traveled with us in the last decade know this, as shown in our testimonial pages.
