ABOUT Strada Toscana…

For more than 16 years Strada Toscana LLC has been providing exceptional, immersive travel experiences in Italy. We understand that insider access and authenticity make all the difference, which is why we introduce you to Italian artisans, experts and local residents who are passionate about sharing their culture and traditions. Plus our trips are active, which means you get to experience local culture through hands-on activities, private visits and exclusive demonstrations – along with unrivaled access to hidden sites and private properties.

From its inception, Strada Toscana’s philosophy of travel has been to create an unrivaled cultural experience for you when you travel to Italy. This can only be done with local Italians behind each and every walk, tour, tasting, meal or visit. From pasta lessons and wine tastings to art tours and private visits,  every detail is attended to with great care and attention by the people who live and work right here – and who are honored that you’ve come to visit.

If slow food, authentic experiences and getting-to-know-a place-as-an insider lights your heart on fire, we’d love to have you join us!



A NOTE From Founder & President, Pamela Haack

When I began to live in Italy, more than 20 years ago, and started to explore so many incredible places off the beaten path, the seeds were sown for creating a unique, boutique travel company. What followed, were years of meeting locals, forming friendships, creating a team and building a company – piece by piece – that would offer an intimate way of experiencing Italy.

Fast forward to today.

Over the past 16 years we have hosted thousands of guests on tours, workshops and retreats – many of whom have traveled with us multiple times. Our love for Italy – especially Italy off the beaten path – is, quite frankly, unrivaled, because our connections with locals runs deep, and our commitment to providing our guests with genuine cultural experiences is at the heart of everything we do – all while enjoying luxurious accommodations and exceptional, regional meals.

Come experience Italy as an insider!

A presto,

~ Pamela

CUSTOMER Review:

“You went out of your way to show us more than Italy’s culture, history, and beauty. You showed us Italy’s soul, as reflected in its dedicated people doing what they love, and often following in their families’ footsteps as fine artisans – handcrafting wine, cheese, olive oil, and metal work. The Italians you introduced us to love life, and love their life’s work, as you do. Their passion, and yours, touched us like no other tour, and we’ve had many. Thank you for your warm and heartfelt hosting, which has redefined vacations for us. As you know, our family is already planning another tour of Italy with you, because we won’t go with anyone but you.” —Sincerely, Beverly and Pete Bono
