There’s no place on earth like Sicily. A true melting pot of cultures, you’ll see Greek and Asian influences in the exotic architecture, unique cuisine and faces of her people. If you happen to be of Sicilian heritage, you’ll be surprised by how the “old country” has very much joined the 21st century while retaining its special charm.

Bologna (2 nights) Siena (3) Torgiano (2) Rome (3)
Known as the “Green Heart of Italy,” Umbria rivals only Tuscany for the beauty of its gently rolling hills. Happily, we’ll also spend time in Tuscany herself.

15 Day Alpine Wonders (2012)
Munich (2), Salzburg (2), Vienna (2), Verona (2), Camogli/Portofino (3), Lake Maggiore (2)
Most folks know Perillo Tours as the Italy experts and during our 67 years of showing the best of Italy to millions of satisfied customers, many have stated “Mr. Perillo, I’ve been on five of your Italy tours, please put a different trip together.”
Coincidentally, in 2010 while checking on our hotels in Italy, I ran into an old acquaintance named Piero Padoan. Piero, an Italian to his core, has lived in Germany for many years as a successful hotelier and as a tour escort whenever he has a chance. His true passion in life is sharing his enthusiasm and love of ... Europe.
So the Alpine Wonders Tour was created. Just imagine... Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Camogli, Portofino, Cinque Terre, Monte Carlo, Lake Maggiore and on and on. Including great hotels, daily breakfasts, most dinners, a beautiful Mozart concert and so much more.
This tour, in its second season, has become a runaway success! You’ll see the comments of some of our first year’s guests in the pages of this brochure.
It’s been a labor-of-love for Piero and me to put this elaborate and wonderful vacation together.
And, amazingly, Piero himself is guiding each departure! (It’s only fair to say that Piero ‘plans’ to lead each tour. He may occasionaly have an equally expert replacement.)
I thank you for considering being our guest on this true trip of a lifetime!
Your Host While In Europe

My partner in Munich, Piero Padoan, not only helped create this tour, he personally leads each one as well! His age, his experience in every sector of the hotel and tourism industries, his knowledge of languages, Europe, passion for authentic food and wine together with his patience and total dedication makes him the ideal tour director for our ALPINE WONDERS TOUR! With Piero, every departure runs like a Swiss watch with plenty of fun as well! Expert driver Uwe, will be our navigator for most departures. He is very experienced and conscious of his responsibility. His friendly attitude and his tremendous skill will make you feel comfortable throughout. You’ll be in good hands on your trip! |
