They continue to praise Modena by stating it is one of Italy's "..great gastronomic centres, the creative force behind real balsamic vinegar, giant tortellini stuffed with tantalising fillings, sparkling Lambrusco wine and backstreets crammed with some of the best restaurants no one's ever heard of." After lunch we stop off at the inspiring former country home, and now museum, of the famous tenor from Modena, Luciano Pavarotti.

Owners of Italian Delights Tours Lynette and Jim Romagnesi Jim and Lynette are passionate travellers and both have proud Italian backgrounds. They have an extremely close affinity with Italy, after having lived there with their children for 2 years from 2005. Put simply Lynette and Jim love all things Italian! They have developed Italian Delights tours over the past 10 years or so, based on their sound knowledge of what intrepid small group travellers (both singles and couples) are looking for in their guided Italian experiences. On the top of Jim and Lynette's priority list for prospective guests is ensuring that their small group tours are exactly that - genuine small group tours! Italian Delights Tours have a maximum group size of 14 guests and the average group size is between 5-7 guests. Within a small group guests are able to blend into local life better and as a result really feel immersed in the Italian life and culture. Also and most importantly, in our small groups guests are very well looked after from the first point of contact to our final goodbye. All guests really need to do whilst on tour is relax and enjoy their experiences! Italian Delights Tours provide guests with a genuine, intimate and informal experience of Italy, covering its culture, food, wine, and stunning natural and man made landscapes. All accommodation and eateries are handpicked by Jim and Lynette and are nearly all family-run small businesses, where the proprietors take pride in their work, because their business is often a legacy that has been passed down over numerous generations. There is no packing and unpacking of bags every day, or even every second day. All of the stays on all tours are three nights or longer. There are very few early morning starts and we tend to take guests out to provided lunches, hence late evenings are rare on our tours also. Italian Delights Tours aren't like the usual tours where guests march around following the guide with the coloured flag at every stop they make. Our experiences allow guests to explore hidden places in their own time, and importantly also at their pace. We have developed itineraries for independent exploration of towns, and we offer optional guided tours on certain days of the tours for those seeking more detailed information about some of the fascinating places that we visit. Contact us now at info@italiandelights.com.au for your unique and intimate Italian tour experience. We guarantee you won't be disappointed!
