Customize your own association or affinity group to Italy.  The spokesperson for your group, will work with Phil of Philitaly to determine trip dates, and develop a unique itinerary catering to the interests of group members, and create an unforgetable experience.  If you share a passion to discover Italy’s treasures and get deeper into the culture, as compared to the standard touristy travel experience, Philitaly is for you.  Experienced guides go beyond the standard iconic site visits you'd expect.

 

Three organizational and informational zoom calls are conducted by Philítaly with the designated group of travelers starting at the confirmation of the travel dates by group’s spokesperson.

 

You will be guided by an Italian insider, Phil of Philítaly.  He will leverage his Italian language, access to family and friends to show you the real Italian “day in the life”, and take you to places off the beaten path.

Purchase your flight on your own to have more control over possible changes.  Choose a flight from the closest airport with non-stop flights to the Italian hub city where the group meets.  If you are not close to a city with non-stop service to the hub in Italy, we suggest you take a domestic flight to the US city that offers non-stop service to Italy hub or fly to a European city with layover to the hub city in Italy where the group meets. ​

 

Consider travel insurance for peace of mind to protect land, air and trip cancellation as well as medical service and evacuation insurance.  Click here to view options for comprehensive insurance, not just for flight cost, like most airlines sell.

Against all odds he lands a job as the starting quarterback for the Parma, Italy Mighty Panthers. The Parma Panthers are happy to have Rick, wanting an NFL player and not being selective about which former American NFL player they choose.
