About Italy Touring
Find Your Perfect Italy Tour
Italy Touring curates a hand-selected catalogue of Italian tours from specialist operators — then works with you to find the one that fits perfectly.
Our Story
We Do the Hard Work, So You Don’t Have To
Italy is a country of extraordinary diversity — from the Alpine lakes and dramatic peaks of the north to the ancient coastlines, hill towns, vineyards and cities of the south. Knowing which part to visit, and which tour will get you there properly, takes real and focused knowledge of the country. That’s what Italy Touring is built around.
Founded by Andrew and Angela Geils and based in Toorak, in Melbourne’s inner east, Italy Touring grew out of a genuine passion for Italy and a conviction that Australians deserved a better way to find the right tour — not just whatever happened to be available from a generalist agency.
We’ve built a hand-selected catalogue from operators who know Italy deeply. When you come to us, our job is to listen carefully to how you want to travel, ask the right questions, and match you with the tour that genuinely fits — then take care of everything from there.
Italy Touring forms part of the broader Inflight Travel group, giving clients access to decades of combined travel industry experience and a trusted global network of partners.
Established in 2015 by founding directors Andrew and Angela Geils, Italy Touring operates within the Inflight Travel group under Geils Pty Ltd (ABN 78 121 579 922).

Our Approach
How We Help You Find the Right Tour
We've already done the hard work of building a hand-selected catalogue of Italian tours. Our job now is to listen carefully, then match you with the one that fits.
01
Tell Us How You Want to Travel
We start with a conversation — not a form. We want to understand your interests, your preferred pace, the regions you're drawn to, who you're travelling with and what matters most to you on a trip.
02
We Search Our Curated Catalogue
Based on what you've told us, we review our hand-selected catalogue of itineraries from specialist operators to identify the options that genuinely fit your brief — not just what's available.
03
We Present the Right Options
We'll talk you through our recommendations, explain why each tour suits you and answer any questions. If nothing in our current catalogue is the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
04
Booking and Beyond
Once you're ready, we take care of everything — booking, documentation, pre-departure briefing and support throughout your trip. Our Australia-based team is here from first enquiry through to your return home.
