Every Adventure Here Is a Working Plan
Each sample adventure on this site opens as a plan you can change: the route through Rome, Florence or the Amalfi Coast, the nights in every stop, the style of hotel and the interests matched to each city.
When it looks right, save it to My Adventures or send it straight to a planner. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged. A planner who grew up in Italy calls you, listens, and turns your version into the trip we arrange.
Found one you like? Make it yours.

Sample Adventure Questions
No. Each sample adventure is a starting point that shows how we would shape a trip through those places. In the adventure builder you can change the nights in every stop, choose a different hotel style and add interests in each city. When you send it, a planner reviews it with you and adjusts anything else, including the route itself.
No. Sending an adventure to a planner books nothing and charges nothing. It starts a conversation. A planner calls you, usually within one business day, to talk through the trip and then sends a first itinerary for you to refine.
Saving creates a simple traveler account with your email, with no password to remember. Your customized adventure is kept on your My Adventures page, so you can come back to it, keep adjusting it, share it with the people you are traveling with and send it to a planner when you are ready.
That is common, and it is exactly how custom travel should work. Use the trip designer to tell us the occasion, the regions and the pace you want, or call a planner. We will build the trip from a blank page.
