Lead GUIDE:

Guest Hosts in:

Travel with us to see places, meet people, eat foods, drink wine and to immerse yourself into the culture. You’ll travel WITH locals, TO locals, avoiding those hit and miss tourist-heavy spots. Our adventures are designed to be delicious and educational, fully catered to you.

7+ days (depending on location and desires). Lodging, most lunches and most dinners (with wine/beverage pairings) are included. Cooking classes and day-trips to nearby farmhouses/vineyards/beaches/etc are also included. You’ll have plenty of personal time to enjoy the archaeology and history of the area, as well as opportunities to dine on your own (especially wonderful for couples or families traveling together and wanting personal time). Your Divora guides will always be at your disposal to help organize your personal time, should you need us to.

Simply meet us in Rome, Palermo, Bucharest or whichever destination we offer, and we’ll take it from there. All you have to do is purchase your own fight to Italy, then all else (lodging, most meals and most tours) are included in your reservation with Divora. Easy!

Classic tours always occur in May and October, every year. Special destinations are added usually in April, May, June and November. If you have specific dates in mind for any other month of the year, we are more than happy to organize for you. Let’s chat!

Looking for a simple 2-hour wine tasting and food pairing experience while you are in Rome? Alex is our in-house Sommelier and a resident of the city. If you are traveling through Rome on your own and would like a one-on-one professional wine and food experience, contact us, so we may set it up!

See you in Europe, friends!

Our PHILOSOPHY

Culinary adventures in Italy, Greece & Romania
Tailored to you * Locally sourced * Authentic

Divora is Italian for = Devour. We devour food and culture wherever we go. Join us in Italy, Greece and Romania, year after year. We create all-inclusive culinary and cultural tours tailored to you and yours. Enjoy living the life of the locals, with our full-immersion experiences, as we take you on a journey to get to know another way of life.

Each location offers distinct traditions which we will experience during our fully catered 7+ days together. You’ll be guided by locals passionate about their cultures and eager to show you their ways of life. Come along with us as we embark on fun, informative, beautiful week-long experiences (sip, dine, cook!) you will not soon forget.

Whether you are looking to explore Italy (and the Mediterranean) for the first time, or you are looking to return to experience more of the culture, Divora is here to help. We want to make sure your adventure with us is completely catered and tailored to you, so you may join us and not worry about the details. WE will worry about the details for you. We plan, organize, set up and fulfill the experience for you, with the goal being making it as authentic as possible. The philosophy behind Divora is to show you the real habits and traditions of the country you will be visiting with us. In order to understand a different culture and to become a part of it, you need to immerse yourself in it, by living among the people, eating where the people eat, and doing as the people do. You’ll meet incredible characters including my own family and close friends, restauranteurs who cater to locals only, fishermen who provide the freshest fish, wine makers who make their own wine (and have for generations), and more. Get to know yourself by expanding your mind as you get to know others. We look forward to a full-immersion experience with you. Jon us!

Meet Alice

 

Ciao! I am Alice, your personal culinary guide and travel planner:

I was born in Rome, Italy. I have lived all around this beautiful world of ours, but have felt an increased longing to return to my Italian culture and roots. Divora was born out of the love I feel towards my ancient country, and the desire I have to show others what the essence of being Italian is. I share with you my traditions, my family, my friends, my culture and my history. Since the inception and success of Divora, I have had the honor to work with partners for culture and culinary tours outside of Italy as well. Join me in Italy, Greece and Romania.

Tailor-made, completely inclusive, perfectly organized experiences for you and yours.

See you soon!

[Tuscany and Rome - September 2022]
We had the time of our lives traveling with Alice to Tuscany and Roma! It was incredible how much we got to experience from visiting ancient places to trying new foods and wines (thank you sommelier, Alex!!) to making lifelong friends. And I can’t say enough about the luxury of showing up and going along for the ride. All major decisions were made and dealt with on our behalf so we were free to really immerse ourselves in the experience. That said, Alice was also incredibly accommodating and concerned that each and every one of us had the experiences we wanted most. We have told everyone since that our trip was life changing. If you are on the fence about booking, just do it and start celebrating! Thank you Alice!!!

KAT & MIKE

[Honeymoon Adventure 2021]
We could have never planned such an amazing honeymoon without the help of Alice. I'm a very detail oriented person and I struggle with trusting others for such an important task, but Alice blew our minds. We were lucky enough that our plans to go to Italy also crossed a time when she would be there. Alice had her driver pick us up from the airport and drive us to a cafe where we met for a quick bite and a drink before our Airbnb was ready. She planned every detail to what we wanted and left us plenty of free time to also do things on our own schedule. I loved the Google Map she created for us with waypoints, places to eat and the places we would visit. She created this AMAZING document with all our important scheduled events, dinners and our itinerary, so we never worried about our schedule. Alice wowed us from the moment we showed up to the moment we dragged ourselves back to the airport to go home. We were lucky to spend some time with her and have her translate, but she set us up so well, even if she was stateside it would have still been fantastic! Thank you Alice!

[Rome - May 2017]
Spent one week with a small group on a tour arranged by Alice. It was wonderful!!! Although I have been to Rome previously this tour provided a view of the city every tourist would envy, not to mention the cooking class in Umbria which has unleashed my culinary skills!! Highly recommended.

JULIE

[Rome - June 2017]
My mom and I had a fantastic experience with DivoraRoma! Alice truly made us feel at home in Rome, which was a great change from the usual touristy experience you inevitably end up having abroad. Our apartment was super comfortable and in a perfect location. The tour was a great balance between planned activities and time off - so you can have your relaxing vacation as well as your action packed vacation. We learned so much about the history of Rome, it's people, and it's culture (particularly the food and wine!) all while experiencing the best of modern day Rome. Would strongly recommend this experience to others!

SUE

[Rome - June 2017]
A once in a lifetime experience! Thank you DivoraRoma (Alice) for a fantastic trip. We took a mother-daughter trip to Italy, spending the first week on our own exploring northern Italy, and the second week in Rome with DivoraRoma. It was the perfect combination for us. Alice prepared a wonderful trip for us. Her focus on details/planning really made our trip smooth and relaxing. From the minute we arrived, Alice had our flat prepared for us and our agenda planned. We got to explore Rome with a pro! Alice grew up in Rome and knows the area so well. We explored so much...from the vintage markets, farmers markets, restaurants, countrysides, and the roman historical sites. It was a special week and one we will cherish for a long time. I highly recommend DivoraRoma!

KAREN

[Rome - May 2017]
We enjoyed a very special week with Alice -- my first visit to Rome! Our stay was with a group of friends, and having Alice as our host was an extraordinary treat. Our apartment near the Spanish Steps was elegant and made a great home base for sightseeing, shopping, enjoying great food and wine tasting. Most memorable and unique was the Roman, family style dinner prepared by Alice's mother, aunt, and long-time family friend. Alice is a very generous and engaging person who will take utmost care to fulfill your interests and wishes -- they don't come any better!

VICTORIA

[Greece - June 2018]
I spent a week with Alice in Rome and had the time of my life! There is nothing better than exploring this magical city with a local. Our flat was amazing, the food was fantastic and she even found a great spot for delicious GF pizza! I will definitely travel with her again!

JOAN

[Rome & Greece - June 2017]
Absolutely amazing trip! Alice is the best hostess! Perfect balance of planned activities and creative adventure. I highly recommend for couples, small group and a fun girls get away!

DINCER

[Rome - May 2019]
My wife and I decided to experience Rome and the only way we would ever do that again is with DivoraRoma. The care and love that Alice put into our group’s trip was world class. Between getting us into cooking classes and getting us into the best restaurants she made sure our days were filled with fun activities. On days with no plans she ensured that we knew which neighborhoods to wander around and get lost in. I can’t recommend DivoraRoma enough!

VITTORINA
