SIT Italy (originally Southern Italy Tours) was founded in 1999 by Giuseppe Aloi and a group of American friends with a mission: to help travelers discover the beauty and warm hospitality of Southern Italy, in a time when the area was still mostly unknown to international tourists. Our Company, which has grown steadily over the last two decades, now offers an incredible collection of curated and personalized itineraries for Guests to experience and explore the many beautiful destinations throughout Italy’s 20 regions. Thanks to our engaging team of dedicated Travel Designers and our enduring partnerships with local guides, suppliers, and contacts, we remain committed to delivering the highest quality of services for our guests.
