When planning for a trip to Tuscany, you want it to be easy and taken care of from the minute you decide.

 

Our excursion packages are for those who enjoy traveling authentically, in small groups, with real Italians. 

 

This is for you if:

  • You’ve never been to Tuscany. 

  • You have no expectations about your trip.

  • You are adventurous.

  • Your trip is planned 3 months out.

  • You trust that Katie will send you to authentic, intimate places.

  • You'd rather eat well at a family run restaurant off the beaten path.

  • You are open to Katie's suggestions.

  • You want to feel special, apart of a family.

  • You enjoy conversing with new people even in a different language. 

  • You want every excursion taken care of, you just want to show up.

  • You travel in small groups (4-6 people) and enjoy to immerse in each intimate experience with locals.

​

We book activities like wine-tastings, cooking classes, hiking paired with an artisan activity, private tours through the Chianti region, workshops like marble paper-making, book-making classes, and jewelry making.

 

Every experience is uniquely different and special. From the locals hosting you to the wine you will taste. 

 

Let us help you by doing all the research and supplying you with a plan that is easy to follow, already booked and paid for.

 

We're here to offer you the most authentic, bespoke, and intimate excursions.

What others are saying about Truly Italy Trip Planning...

"Katie has lived her knowledge of Italy. Her extensive travels and thorough research provides a lot of information that allow you to form an itinerary and she does it in a easy to follow fashion.  She's a wonderful listener and works with you for your unique experience.  After consultations she's provide follow up information specific to your trip.  Additionally she knows such a wide range of people in Italy that she'll assist you in getting to meet locals and smaller niche type places that are marvelous and off the beaten path.  This isn't a cookie cutter approach. It's a tailored approach.  Katie makes herself available and thoroughly follow up on any questions or needs. I believe I've saved 10-20 hours of work by utilizing her in addition to the fantastic places that she advised us to take in on our trip."
