Tour Details

If there is one word that best sums up Italian people it is ‘passionate’. They are passionate about life, about food, about coffee, about wine and of course sport. This passion seems to get stronger as you move south and nowhere exudes passion like Rome and Naples. Both vibrant cities with a rich history and culture, and strong local identity – daily conversations, appear to the outsider as heated arguments, but are just exchanges which come from the heart. This passion is also seen in the architecture and the art – forming an emotional connection with the past.
