Often prospective travelers ask, what's the difference between Viaggi di Gusto's two primary travel options: small-group tours and custom tours, each catering to different preferences and travel styles. Here's the lowdown:

Small-Group Tours:

  • Fixed Itineraries and Dates: These tours operate on set schedules during the spring and fall, featuring pre-planned itineraries that explore various Italian regions.

  • Group Size: Designed for 6-20 like-minded travelers, fostering a low-key community experience.

  • Exclusive Experiences: Participants enjoy curated activities, such as visits to small towns, coastal villages, and authentic local connections, all arranged by Viaggi di Gusto.

  • Booking Process: Travelers select from available tours, make a deposit to secure their spot, and we manage all logistics.

Custom Tours:

  • Personalized Itineraries: Tailored to individual preferences, these tours allow travelers to choose destinations, activities, and travel dates, offering flexibility to design a unique journey. 

  • Private Travel: Ideal for families, friends, or colleagues comfortable traveling together, typically requiring a minimum of six participants.

  • Comprehensive Planning: Viaggi di Gusto handles all details, including accommodations, private transfers, curated experiences, and expert guides, ensuring a seamless and worry-free trip.

  • Booking Process: The planning begins with a consultation to understand the traveler's vision, followed by the creation of a personalized itinerary. A planning fee is required, which is credited toward the total trip cost upon booking.
