Trade-only Italy specialist Magari Tours has launched its 2026-27 programme, offering more opportunities for agents to manage their own tour.
Magari Tours’ escorted tour programme features Tuscany, Lombardy, Umbria, Puglia and Sicily, with the additional exclusive departures available across all.
With Magari’s guidance, agents can control their passenger numbers, tailor the departure airport to suit clients and only need to commit once clients’ deposits have been received after advance promotion.
Agents can also travel with their clients on the tour to build strong relationships and develop their own brand.
New experiences in the programme include dairy farm visits to see mozzarella being made, a pasta-making class in an ancient orchard and being driven in a classic Italian car.
Tony Flanagan, product and sales director, said: “Based on the positive feedback from our inaugural exclusive tour, we are delighted to provide the same opportunity for other agents.
“Being able to offer the flexibility to manage their own tour and tailor flights puts agents in a strong position.
“No other agent in their area will be selling the same departure date. It really is the perfect way for our partners to provide clients with their dream authentic escorted tour to Italy.”
Worcester travel agency ArrangeMY Escape will be hosting the first exclusive tour with Magari and has been arranging events in the UK to create excitement among clients booked on the trip.
The tour for 24 clients will be escorted by the agency’s own staff and visit Lombardy next May. It will be the first time the agency has filled a trip with its own clients.
Escorted tour prices lead in at £1,995, based on The Secluded Tuscany holiday, with half-board accommodation at Grand Hotel Impero in Castel del Piano. The six-night tour includes flights and some lunches.
Magari Tours operates small-group itineraries with a maximum of 19 participants in the shoulder seasons when the weather is ideal for sightseeing, destinations are less crowded and traditional food and wine festivals take place.
As well as exclusive tours, Magari Tours offers agent training and client events.
Magari Tours is operated by group touring specialists Success Tours Ltd, part of the Albatross Group.
