Nine Day Tour

 

 

Spend nine days with us exploring the best of Emilia Romagna,

from the largest cities to the smallest, Italian villages.

 

 

 

Our nine day tour offers guests an opportunity to enjoy all the wonderful things that Emilia Romagna had to offer.  Our travels will take us to the cities of Bologna, Ravenna, Ferrara, and Faenza.  We will also have plenty of time to explore places off of the beaten path, like the fishing village of Comacchio, the medieval hill town of Brisighella, the historic Abbey of Pomposa, and tiny, art town of Dozza.

During our nine day tour, we will enjoy walking tours of Bologna, Ravenna, Ferrara, Brisighella and the Abbey of Pomposa, conducted by licensed, local guides who will share their knowledge of and passion for these wonderful cities.  We will participate in a cooking class, olive oil tasting, and wine tasting in Emilia Romagna’s Regional wine library.

     
  .  

 

These planned activities will be combined with ample free time.  You will have the opportunity to explore local shops, visit museums that are not included in the walking tours, sit at an outdoor cafe, peruse art galleries, or enjoy a gelato while people-watching in the main square.
 
Our accommodations will be in elegant hotels, located in the historic center of the cities we visit.  We will also spend two nights at a charming farmhouse in the hills of Faenza.  You will be given maps of every city and my recommendations on where to eat and what to see during your free time.  I will always be on hand to offer optional actives or to join you for a meal if you don’t feel like venturing out alone.
 
Emilia Romagna is famous around the world for its food and is considered to be the gastronomic capital of Italy.  Its no wonder as it is home to Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, prosciutto and balsamic vinegar.  With nine days to spend, we will have plenty of time to enjoy the quality (and quantity) of Emilia Romagna's famous dishes. Only restaurants serving local cuisine were chosen in order to provide guests with a taste of the foods each city is famous for.  All meals mentioned in the itinerary include mineral water, local wine and Italian-style coffee.
 
A driver with a private van has been hired to take us to our destinations.  There will be no jumping on public buses or fighting your way through a crowed train station; just relax in our private van and enjoy the views of the Italian countryside as they pass by your window.
     
     

 

We specialize in intimate, small group tours through Italy’s gastronomic heart.  Keeping our groups small allows us to move through the sites easily, sit together at one table during our meals, and get to get to know our fellow travelers. 

 

Emilia Romagna is an amazing region with so much to offer.  From Renaissance cities to medieval villages, from the dazzling mosaics of Ravenna to the simplicity of a rustic farm house, this tour offers you an opportunity to see the many sides of authentic Italy.  Book your vacation with Esperia Travels and you won't simply visit Italy, you will experience it.
