Page 36 www.lux-review.com LUX Travel and Tourism Awards 2020 The secret to an excellent tour guide is not only being knowledgeable about the area, but having a real connection and passion for the area. A charming, family-run boutique tour operator, Secret Italia offers authentic tours across the back roads of Europe’s rugged, and truly stunning countryside. Going where the locals go, and travellers do not, every moment is a unique moment when travelling with Secret Italia. With a maximum group size of only fourteen people, the true luxury of Secret Italia lies in being able to experience the magnificence of Europe’s best, far from the madding crowd of tourists. Carefully selecting each and every destination themselves, the team at Secret Italia Tours have created small group tours that truly highlight everything good about European culture. As exciting as it is rich, the culture of local Italian life is highly enjoyable. For all the country’s designer luxury, fast cars, and fine wines, there is one thing that remains the same throughout Italy; the national love of food. Guests can experience a rural food heaven; a natural larder of exquisite tastes. A truly dazzling array of traditional Italian dishes awaits, and guest can sample the rich flavours and intoxicating aromas either beneath the gorgeous sun or the equally radiant moon and stars. For the more history-loving travellers, Greek mythology can be experienced in all its glory through a series of Greek tours. Experiencing the ancient ruins of Athens, the awesome power of the Temple of Poseidon, and the history of Mount Parnassos, Secret Italia’s tours go well beyond the usual offerings of other tour operators. Luxury travel and a superior selection of splendid destinations ensures that this boutique tour operator is surely one of the best at work on the continent today. Rather than see the traditionally awesome sights of Europe such as the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, and Mt Olympus, one boutique tour operator is taking visitors off the beaten track to explore the rugged beauty of Europe’s countryside.
