Not Your
Typical
Tour Experience
Curio journeys are built on three things:
Exploration
Local Friendships
Small Groups
Founder-Led Journeys​
Curio Italia began as a personal journey.
Founder Lucas Perretti spent years exploring Italy’s lesser-known regions — wandering hill towns, meeting local winemakers, and discovering places that rarely appear in guidebooks. Along the way, friendships formed with guides, artisans, and hosts who now welcome Curio travelers into their communities.
Every Curio journey is shaped by those relationships and personally hosted to ensure the experience remains thoughtful, small, and deeply connected to place.
Why Curio Journeys Feel Different

POSITIVE IMPACT
Support local communities and travel responsibly
- Years of firsthand exploration
Routes shaped through years of travel across Italy’s lesser-known regions — not pulled from guidebooks, but discovered over time.
- Built on local relationships
Formed through friendships with guides, artisans, and hosts who welcome Curio travelers into their world.
- Kept intentionally small
So we can stay in smaller villages, gather around family-run tables, and explore places larger groups rarely reach — moving with the flexibility this kind of travel requires.
- Built with room to explore
Time to experience each place at the pace it deserves — with space to wander, discover, and create your own moments.
