Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.
Planet
CARBON REDUCTION: Our Italy trip is designed with a strong commitment to carbon reduction. We offer a seamless rail experience that minimizes the need for unnecessary private transfers, significantly reducing carbon emissions. Italy's extensive and efficient electric rail network allows travelers to enjoy scenic train rides between cities and mountain destinations, with Italian trains primarily powered by electricity, which greatly reduces their environmental impact. Travelers share transportation with fellow passengers while relishing the comfort of well-maintained first or second-class train carriages. Additionally, our choice of centrally located hotels in Italian city centers promotes responsible and eco-friendly transportation options like guided walking tours, allowing you to immerse yourself in the local culture and maintain a healthy lifestyle while further contributing to carbon reduction efforts.ENVIRONMENT/WILDLIFE PRESERVATION: Our commitment to the environment and wildlife preservation goes beyond travel. During the trip, we actively discourage the use of single-use plastic for meals. We firmly believe that savoring local cuisine in restaurants, rather than resorting to supermarket sandwiches or fast food, is not only essential for the travel experience but also crucial for connecting with the people, their customs, history, and knowledge. Dining out in Italy, while it may come at a higher cost, significantly contributes to the well-being of all involved and enhances the exquisite food presentation. By supporting local restaurants and their sustainable practices, you indirectly contribute to the preservation of the environment and wildlife in Italy, making your culinary experiences more meaningful and eco-conscious.
For example: Using trains throughout the trip is an environmentally friendly choice as trains are generally more sustainable and produce fewer carbon emissions compared to many other modes of transportation. The exploration of Lake Como by kayak. Food and wine tasting in Venice with locally produced and sourced products.
