Bonvoy Adventure Travel's Announces Italy Immersion Tour

Introducing people to the exhilaration of natural and cultural adventures is Bonvoy Adventure Travel's prime objective. In 2014 travelers new to northern Italy can enjoy this company's all-inclusive two-week immersion for just $3,528 per person, (exclusive of international air). http://www.bonvoyadventuretravel.com/adventures/italy-tuscany-and-venice-tour.

The arrival gateway is Pisa; the departure gateway is Milan. One initial date has been set for 2014, Aug. 12-23, with more departures to be scheduled and featured on its website http://www.bonvoyadventuretravel.com/. The group size is limited to up to 12 participants plus hosts.

"Sometimes an adventure is about scaling mountains and diving deep underwater; but other times an adventure can be more about humanity's splendor. Italy has several thousands of years of it for us to plumb," comments Sean Jackson, Bonvoy Adventure Travel's founder/owner.

Guests experience cultural nuances in diverse landscapes through a variety of activities. They trek up and down Cinque Terra, ride Vespas through the Tuscan countryside outside of Lucca, swim in the Mediterranean at Forte dei Marmi near Pisa, sail on a catamaran on Lake Garda and hike in the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

City tours of Lucca (the walled city birthplace of composer Puccini), Pisa, Florence, Venice and Verona augment these adventures.

"Perhaps nothing says 'sophisticated with a touch of devil-may-care' better than the scooter. Our Vespa ride cruises the hills to Forte dei Marmi and the beaches of the Mediterranean," notes Jackson. "Couple this ride with hiking in the Dolomites and you're breathing rarefied Italian air few others experience. Also there's never a shortage of great wine!"

The tour rate includes airport transfers, all transportation during the trip, specialized activity gear and equipment, guide, high-end hotel accommodations, all meals, locally sampled beer and wine, entrance fees, and more. Jackson promises that his guests will have opportunities to sample, but not be inundated by, art. (Italy harbors some 40 percent of the world's fine art collections.)

"The people are extremely friendly. I've never once gotten into an argument with an Italian, even though as a newbie traveler there were plenty of stressful situations and misunderstandings that would have gone south real quick in some other countries we've been. They always are understanding and try very hard to accommodate," Jackson underscores.
