About Andiamo in Italia Tours

---

At Andiamo in Italia Tours, our mission is simple: to offer an authentic, immersive experience of Italy that goes beyond the typical tourist attractions. Born from a passion for Italy's rich culinary and cultural heritage, we focus on connecting Australians with the real Italy—the hidden corners, the time-honoured traditions, and the local flavours often overlooked by mass tourism.

As an Australian with years of travel and culinary exploration, I’ve carefully crafted each tour to do more than offer a holiday—it’s about creating an experience that allows you to truly live and breathe Italy. We specialise in intimate, small-group tours (10-16 people) where every detail is designed to help you experience Italy like a local. Forget the crowds and long lines at major tourist sites. We take you off the beaten path to discover charming neighbourhoods, peaceful towns, and vibrant local spots that reflect the heart of Italy.

Whether you’re learning traditional recipes from local cooks, strolling through picturesque streets, or enjoying authentic meals at family-run trattorias, Andiamo in Italia Tours is about forging a deeper connection to Italy's food, people, and culture.

Our tours do require a moderate level of exercise, including walking through cobbled streets, local markets, and the charming, hilly regions of Italy. These tours are not suitable for those with mobility issues, as the itinerary involves a fair amount of walking and exploration.

Our goal is to offer seamless, unforgettable experiences where you can focus on enjoying every moment, knowing the details are taken care of. From handpicked accommodations to thoughtfully designed itineraries, we ensure every part of your journey is authentic, meaningful, and enriching.

If you're ready to discover Italy in a way that’s about more than just sightseeing, Andiamo in Italia Tours is here to guide you through the country’s true essence—one delicious, fascinating experience at a time. 

Ciao and welcome to Andiamo in Italia Tours!

I’m Dave, the founder of Andiamo in Italia Tours, where we offer a unique travel experience designed for Australians who want to truly understand Italy through its food and culture. After years of exploring Italy's culinary landscape, I’ve made it my mission to take you beyond the typical tourist spots and immerse you in the Italy that locals know and love.

Our small-group tours are crafted for those who want to explore how Italians have perfected their way of life over centuries—especially through their food. You’ll step into the kitchens of traditional cooks who preserve time-honoured recipes and techniques, gaining a personal connection to the culinary heritage that defines this remarkable country.

Forget long queues and crowded attractions. Our tours focus on hidden gems—quaint neighborhoods, tranquil towns, and authentic local experiences that let you feel the heartbeat of Italy. Whether it's intimate walking tours, cooking classes with locals, or meals at family-run trattorias, each experience is designed to bring you closer to the true essence of Italy.

If you're an Australian ready to experience Italy in a way few get to, I can’t wait to guide you through this unforgettable adventure. Andiamo!
