My guided tours

Bolzano/Bozen

Explore South Tyrol’s provincial capital Bolzano/Bozen, take a tour of its historic centre and discover all about the place where the Italian and German cultures met and clashed, deeply shaping the whole region’s history and present.

Half-day and full-day trips

We will be happy to take you on a half-day or full-day outing and introduce you to South Tyrol’s most enchanting spots. You will be offered first-hand insights into the rich diversity of our homeland.

Meran/Merano

Merano/Meran is the second largest town in South Tyrol, and undisputedly the region’s most famous tourist destination. Its rise as a world-famous spa town began in the 19th century, and became unstoppable after Austria’s Empress Sissi chose it as a location for several long holidays.

The Venosta/Vinschgau valley

If you are looking for the ideal combination of nature and culture, the Venosta/Vinschgau valley is your perfect choice. It is located at the western edge of South Tyrol, close to the border with Austria and Switzerland.
