Owners and operators of Italian Delights
Tours
Jim and Lynette Romagnesi are passionate travellers and both have proud Italian backgrounds.
They have an extremely close affinity with Italy, after having lived there with their children for 2
years from 2005. Put simply Lynette and Jim love all things Italian! They have developed Italian
Delights tours over the past 10 years or so, based on their sound knowledge of what intrepid small
group travellers (both singles and couples) are looking for in their guided Italian experiences. On
the top of Jim and Lynette's priority list for prospective guests is ensuring that their small group
tours are exactly that - genuine small group tours! Italian Delights Tours have a maximum group
size of 14 guests and the average group size is between 5-7 guests. Within a small group guests are
able to blend into local life better and as a result really feel immersed in the Italian life and
culture. Also, and most importantly, in our small groups guests are very well looked after from the
first point of contact to our final goodbye. All guests really need to do whilst on tour is relax and
enjoy their experiences!
Italian Delights Tours provide guests with a genuine, intimate and informal experience of Italy,
covering its culture, food, wine, and stunning natural and man made landscapes. All
accommodation and eateries are handpicked by Jim and Lynette and are nearly all family-run
small businesses, where the proprietors take pride in their work, because their business is often a
legacy that has been passed down over numerous generations. There is no packing and unpacking
of bags every day, or even every second day. All of the stays on all tours are three nights or longer.
There are very few early morning starts and we tend to take guests out to provided lunches, hence
late evenings are rare on our tours also.
Italian Delights Tours aren't like the usual tours where guests march around following the guide
with the coloured flag at every stop they make. Our experiences allow guests to explore hidden
places in their own time, and importantly also at their pace. We have developed itineraries for
independent exploration of towns, and we offer optional guided tours on certain days of the tours
for those seeking more detailed information about some of the fascinating places that we visit.
Contact us now at info@italiandelights.com.au for your unique and intimate Italian tour
experience. We guarantee you won't be disappointed!'Abruzzo -Italy's last hidden treasure!" Tour Leaders
Katri and Marco Pagliaro
Marco and Katri Pagliaro are a husband and wife team with a huge passion for Abruzzo. They
spend their time between their 3 acre home outside of Ballarat in Australia, and their restored
home in the beautiful village of Loreto Aprutino in Abruzzo.
Marco was born in Pescara, Abruzzo and moved to Melbourne, Australia at a young age with his
parents and two younger siblings. Although he has lived most of his life in Australia, his passion for
his Italian culture has stayed strong.
When he’s not touring Abruzzo, he enjoys hunting, breading and training the French dog breed:
L’Epagnuel Bretons, and singing in both English and Italian.
Katri grew up on the coast of Western Australia, moved to Melbourne as an adult, and has always
had a passion for Italian culture and cuisine. When she’s not basking in the Italian sunshine with a
glass of prosecco, she enjoys cooking, reading, and snowboarding.REGISTRATION FORM
