Why Adagio

Our name says it all. In Italian, adagio means “slowly, with care, gently,” and this is exactly how our tours are paced. Our passion at Adagio Travel is to enable you to slow down in beautiful, uncommon places. To inspire you to see the forest and the trees. To encourage wandering. To take care of your details for you. And to have you return home refreshed and understanding the world in a different way. We pick destinations off the beaten path because they merit this approach. So do you.

Adagio Travel was created for independent travelers who are curious about the corners of Italy and its nearby neighbors that are rarely, if ever, reached by large tour buses. Our groups are small—generally 8 to 10 people—and give you the unique opportunity to meet like-minded persons. We create both active tours and trips for those whose interests lie elsewhere. All of our journeys will encourage you to slow down, and savor the flavors, scents and sites that are only found here.

Thank you Claudia for being such a treasured friend. You have added to our lives in so may ways.

We were so impressed with the Croatian people, especially the guides who were so proud to share their heritage and experiences during the war of the early 1990s. The service was phenomenal. Claudia puts together the perfect trip. We have traveled with her to Amalfi and Sicily in addition to Croatia, and every detail was taken care of. We can’t say enough and look forward to going on more trips with Adagio Travel.
