why this journey works
Emilia-Romagna is dense enough that you do not need to keep moving. This itinerary parks you at the Art Hotel Commercianti in Bologna and radiates out: Maranello for the fast-car chapter, the Food Valley for producers, Parma for its own food tradition, and Bologna itself for the city's gastronomic core. We like the group format here because tastings, factory visits, and producer doors work better with arranged access than with improvisation.

What is a Typical Trip Investment?
To help you plan, many of our sample itineraries include a Typical Trip Investment rather than a fixed price.
Because every Evyssa journey is custom designed, pricing varies based on your travel dates, availability, room category, airfare (when included), exchange rates, and the experiences you choose. Instead of providing a price that may no longer be available when you’re ready to book, we offer a realistic investment range based on what similar trips typically cost.
Our Typical Trip Investment reflects the itinerary shown and is generally based on:
Double occupancy
Luxury accommodations similar to those featured
The private transfers, tours, and experiences described
Typical seasonal pricing at the time the itinerary was created
Standard service levels unless otherwise noted
Final pricing is confirmed only after your travel dates and preferences are finalized and suppliers confirm availability. During the planning process, we’ll present the best available options and pricing for your specific trip, along with any alternatives that may offer greater value.
Our goal is complete transparency—so you’ll always understand what is included, what may affect pricing, and how to make informed decisions before booking.
