Your authentic Italian adventure awaits
Experience Southern Italy with Citrus Coast Tours
Citrus Coast Tours was born out of a deep love for Calabria and the surrounding region’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture. The region’s climate allows for perfect propagation of many fruits and vegetables. Lemon, Citron and Bergamot grow plentiful along the southern coast, hence the inception of our company name. Come experience the beauty of Southern Italy with our locally created tours!
Why choose Citrus Coast Tours
We help Italian Americans reconnect with their roots, creating journeys that revive the spirit and deepen cultural ties. Our goal is to introduce travelers to the breathtaking views—from stunning seas and majestic mountains to quaint villages—while honoring the traditions and stories that have shaped Southern Italy for generations. After moving here to immerse ourselves fully, we’ve dedicated our lives to showcasing the heart and soul of this often-overlooked region.
Our mission and core values
Our mission is simple: experience the beauty of Southern Italy with locally crafted tours showcasing its hidden treasures. We value integrity, purpose, and passion. We are committed to preserving the authenticity of local culture and supporting the local community. By curating memorable experiences, we hope to share the region’s true essence, fostering a deep appreciation that lasts a lifetime.
Personalized small-group itineraries
We keep our groups to just 8-10 people to create a more intimate and personalized experience. With a smaller group, we can explore hidden villages, stay in cozy, authentic accommodations, and connect meaningfully with Calabria’s communities. This approach allows us the flexibility to savor spontaneous moments, share stories, and develop genuine relationships with each other along the journey. By traveling with fewer people, each guest experiences Calabria in a way that feels personal, memorable, and deeply connected.
Your safety is our priority
At the heart of our excursions is a steadfast commitment to safety. We understand that exploring the stunning landscapes of Calabria should be both exhilarating and secure. Our knowledge and preparation ensures that every journey adheres to the highest safety standards, from providing essential equipment to offering clear instructions. Whether trekking through majestic mountains or wandering quaint villages, we prioritize your well-being by maintaining small group sizes, keeping up-to-date with local conditions, and fostering an environment where everyone feels comfortable and cared for. Join us for unforgettable adventures, knowing that your safety is our top priority.
Hand-picked accommodations for authentic stays
We believe that where you stay is as important as where you go. Our hand-selected accommodations offer an immersive experience into Southern Italian culture, hospitality, and stunning landscapes. Unlike typical hotel chains, these places are steeped in history, authenticity, and regional charm. These accommodations may not carry traditional ratings, but they deliver something far more meaningful: a connection to the land and the people.
Celebrating sustainability through local cuisine
Our meals will be a celebration of Southern Italy’s rich culinary heritage, featuring locally sourced ingredients that showcase the region’s vibrant flavors. We will indulge in authentic dishes crafted from traditions passed down through generations, each bite telling a story of the land and its people.

Join us as we savor the essence of Southern Italian cuisine, where each dish is a tribute to the past and a taste of the present.
