Italian Heritage Tours That Bring Your Family Story to Life
Whether you’re tracing your family roots, visiting an ancestral hometown, or simply feeling called to reconnect with your heritage, we’ll create a personalized Italy journey that helps you experience Italy in a deeply meaningful way.
Planning Your Heritage Journey Starts Here
A few things to know before reconnecting with your family’s story.
Sometimes the Journey is Personal
Some people come to Italy to see the famous places. Others come to understand where their story began.
Whether you’re walking the streets your grandparents once called home, meeting distant relatives, or simply reconnecting with your heritage, these are the moments that stay with you long after the trip is over. I’d be honored to help you experience them.

Hear From our Travelers
“Memory of a lifetime”
We can’t say enough amazing things about Phil and Liliana with Phil~italy. They took a group of around 20 people all across Italy ... We felt completely supported and genuinely cared for the entire time. It was more than just a trip — it was a memory of a lifetime!

“Helps connect you with your Italian roots”
The best thing about trips with Phil is that you have an insider’s access and peace of mind that you’re getting an authentic Italian experience without being gouged on price. Plus he helps connect you with your Italian roots if you’ve got them. I highly recommend Phil and his company.
