We’ve all been there—booking trips that promise “authentic” Italian experiences, only to find ourselves lost in a sea of tourists, checking off landmarks without really feeling the heart of Italy. The rushed schedules, crowded hotspots, and impersonal tours can leave you wondering if you’ve truly experienced the real Italy at all.
This quiz will help you uncover the travel style that aligns with your soul—one that goes beyond the surface and into the heart of Italy’s culture, cuisine, and charm.

Meet Your Local Italy Guides (and Soon-to-Be Friends!)
We’re Chantelle & Giovanni, a Canadian-Italian couple who traded the corporate world for a life filled with good food, great wine, and unforgettable travel experiences. We don’t just run tours; we welcome you into our Italy, the one that tourists rarely see, where connections matter, traditions are honored, and every meal tells a story.
"My husband and I have traveled with Chantelle and Giovanni on two of their tours. Both tours have been incredible."
"From the food, sights, and wine, they have curated the best tours with an emphasis on local experiences. They plan everything, and they give you a very authentic Italian experience. We have made lifelong friends while on their small group tours. Our favorite Italian memories are from days we spent on tour with Chantelle and Giovanni. We can't wait to be back on tour with them."

"Giovanni and Chantelle's 'The Italian on Tour' trips hit all the right notes for us."
"The small group sizes, unique locations, excellent accommodations, and truly great food and wine made for wonderful times. Whether you're an experienced traveler or a complete newbie, Giovanni and Chantelle provide new and enjoyable experiences. And, they are such nice people! So far we've done two great tours with them, and plan to do our third in 2025. I recommend them!"
