Dr. Kuruvilla has been leading an annual trip to Italy for the the past 10 years. This 3 week long visit covers 6 locations that include some of the world's most historic cities like Rome and Venice to explore Italy's past. However, most of the trip is spent in little towns and villages - including enjoying communities and homecooked meals with families and in homes. This dream trip includes world famous wineries like Mezzacorona boasting Pinot Grigio the Champagne of Italy, and family wineries like Palama in southern Italy. The trip also includes visits to some of the worlds iconic auto companies like Lamborghini, Ferrari and Ducati. t
This 3 week summer trip is the ultimate package for the truly authentic Italian experience.
For those with a little more time, we have an optional sailboat visit to Greece or Albania, across the Adriatic, to truly experience the Adriatic Sea, and Mediterranean boat life - fishing and cooking pasta in the boat!
This is no ordinary tourist trip. We are in little towns and villages and even in homes Eating with friends. Wine tasting by a winemaker in the dolomites and ladies of a little village coming together and cooking together with us, And a fisherman with whom we can get the catch of the day. That doesnt happen in any trip. All flights, all in country travel, all hotels and all major visits are planned - just sit back and enjoy the ride and the many glorious surprises and breathtaking moments this trip offers.
Everyone starts with costs Dr Kuruvilla has been able to curate this experience at the cost of a student trip because of the large number of student trips he has led. See itinerary for details but thats not the point. Dr Kuruvilla has a large number of friends and relationships in Italy that help make this trip Unique and authentic and less expensive. Eat at Marcos home with his family, be hosted by a mayor, go fishing with Andrea and enjoy catch of the day that his fiance cooks, have Gianluca and his beautiful girlfriend with us when we in a boat along the Adriatic and dance in Lucas own beach club. You get touched by the soul of Italy, not its past buildings, by Authentic, Real, People.
