experience the difference of personalized travel

Since 1984, our Greek-American family has offered the highest quality tours to Greece and Italy for alumni associations at many of the nation’s largest universities. Having offered tours for the University of Texas, the US Naval Academy, and UC Berkeley, Sofia Travel has the experience to offer your travelers a professional journey while providing them the personal attention that makes travel special.

A great benefit to working with our boutique travel company is that we can plan a trip specific to your group's desires.  Whether it be visiting a 6th generation buffalo mozzarella factory in Italy or sailing to the humble home of a third generation fisherman on an otherwise uninhabited Greek island, we offer experiences that the large providers don’t. Rather than offer thousands of tours to hundreds of destinations, we focus on personalized, unique, high quality travel that your travelers will immediately appreciate.

Whether offering one of our current itineraries or creating your own journey in Greece and/or Italy, just tell us your vision and we will make it a reality. We'd love to hear your ideas!
