Our General Booking Conditions can be found on our website: www.michelangelo.travel Unfortunately, the Covid-19 situation broke out between printing and shipping this catalogue. With the hope that no partners or their loved ones have been directly affected, we prefer to leave the introduction as we had intended it at the time of writing; even this awful thing is destined to come to an end and we don’t want to lose the desire to look at the future with optimism; travelling is a joy, and we won’t let that get taken away by anything or anyone! We are delighted to present a wide selection of handpicked tour suggestions for your groups to Italy. We have concentrated solely on group business since our inception over 25 years ago. In that time we have strived constantly to develop new programmes to address the ever-chan- ging needs of group tour operators. This year we present a new range of products dedicated to relaxing yoga retreats to meet the growing request for active holidays combing yoga, rest, relaxation, and delicious food in beautiful locations, select central hotels for unbeatable city breaks, and new reasons to travel via our off season events-based packages, as we realise that innovative and interesting tour proposals are the best way to attract and convert new business. We continue to offer our selection of tours to appeal to the often neglected and increasingly important single traveller, our inspirational culinary tours through Italy’s gastronomic wonderland, and our popular multi-centred itineraries to discover the diversity of the country and see a multitude of sites and attractions. Our core business has traditionally come from coach operators, however, we recognize that more and more operators choose to arrive by air or rail and require transportation with their packages. Our transport included package fares, included on most of our programmes, cater to this segment too. Regardless of how you get here, our many publications and the tour inspirations you can fnd on our website, provide you, our partners, with all the information you could ever need to create unbeatable tours, and our expert team is on hand to assist you all the way. Our tour ideas cover the length and breadth of Italy. We offer it all, from the lofty peaks of South Tyrol and the dramatic Dolomites to fery Sicily, and reveal the splen- dour and rich history of Italian cities and the breath-taking scenery that awaits the traveller throughout the land. We are proud of our country and invite you to come and discover the wonders of Italy with us.

Famous as a preferred venue for poets and writers, Goethe once described Lake Garda perfectly: “A magnifcent theatrical work, Lake Garda…the shore, surrounded by hills and mountains on either side, gleams from innumerable little towns and villages.” The Garda Hotel Forte Charme is the ideal starting-point for mountain and lake outings. Hike on lofty Monte Baldo, immerse yourself in fascinating Malcesine, wander through the heavenly little town of Limone or stroll along the lakeside promenade in Riva del Garda.
