Last week, we featured Globus’ and Avanti Destinations’ culinary programs, this week, we focus on Gutsy Women Travel, whose Italy Program takes women throughout the country exploring all its regional cuisines. For 2008, Gutsy Women Travel is offering five different Italy tours and 16 departure dates throughout the year, including from Rome, Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como and Florence. April Merenda, the company's president, says that because Gutsy Women has an office in Rome, the company has an “intimate knowledge of all the special out-of-the-way treasures and personal contacts that will reveal the little secrets of each region that make it unique."
