We had so much fun on this trip! I wish every country had culture discovery tour! More

I've taken three trips with Culture Discovery (two based in Soriano nel Cimino_ - the last this past June when we were based in the Umbrian town of Norcia. As soon was pulled into the front gate of this medieval town, I knew it would be a special week. I've traveled often to Italy going well beyond the usual Rome-Florence-Venice... More

If you enjoy rubbing elbows with throngs of other tourists, read no further, because this tour is not for you! Having toured Italy several times with Globus and Perillo, we were ready for a whole new Italian experience. Viola, Michael and the Culture Discovery Family were there to provide us with that and so much more! Small groups, lovely accommodations... More

This tour exceeded all expections, it is very well run, they know their niche and they just do it very very well. You can check their website for details, but that will not tell you how they oriented the tour group on the first night at a meeting in town, and an all out dinner later. They set the tone... More

My dream trip of a lifetime. Each day packed with one amazing adventure after another. I could not have seen or experienced as much as I did, on my own.

We checked out renting apartments and day tripping, and many other types of Italy vacations. I discovered Culture Discovery after many hours & days of searching. CDV had everything we wanted. A small group,... More

My wife and I are world travelers, we have done Europe several years in a row via cruises. My wife never really travelled until we got married. After all of our travels, it became apparent to me that food and culture were 2 things we enjoyed about traveling abroad. For her 30th birthday, I was looking for ideas and came... More

My husband and I visited with several other couples from my family in September. The two months since our return has given me the perspective to truly reflect on what a unique and extraordinary experience Culture Discovery provides. I read about how we'd be made to feel like family on our trip, and I didn't truly understand it until I... More

We booked this trip past in less three months and spending that much money is very scary! However I would not take one minute of that choice back. Absolutely Amazing and if I could re-live it everyday I would. Thank you for such an amazing trip! Everyone hates when I talk about it because I can't shut up. It's been... More
