Heartfelt thanks for your care and for the impeccable organization. Everything went beautifully: the driver was very good, polite and patient, the restaurants were excellent and so was the hotel. Our guide, skilled and attentive, looked after us until the very end of the trip. Thank you again for making this experience so enjoyable!

I would like to thank the organizers for this delightful trip. Short as it was, it was enjoyable in every respect: the hotel clean and welcoming, with efficient service and an excellent, generous breakfast; the guides and the driver; the places we visited, unusual and never predictable; the other participants, true travelers. Special thanks for running the trip even with only a few participants. I hope to travel with you again soon!

Heartfelt thanks for putting together this beautiful trip! It was a truly enjoyable experience, made even better by meeting again people I already knew and spending lovely moments in good company. Warm regards and thanks to the whole staff!
A. I.Tuscany to Discover: the White Heart of the Apuan Alps by 4x4, Towered Lucca and the Puccini Festival in Versilia 2026
The trip was wonderful and everything worked. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, very good at finding a way through the traffic and truly caring, especially towards me, as I have some difficulty walking. We had a great time. The group was small but very interesting, and traveling by minivan was ideal for getting to know each other. The destinations were truly exceptional, both for me, a garden lover who had chosen this trip on purpose, and for my fellow travelers with less botanical experience. Staying in Kensington was also an excellent choice, with several interesting sights nearby, including the Japanese garden, Leighton House and the Design Museum. I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip to everyone! I would be very happy to join one of your itineraries in your own region in the future. Thank you for everything!
A. V.English Gardens Created by Women and the Chelsea Flower Show 2026
Congratulations on the beautiful trip you organized for the Garden! Splendid hotels, enchanting places and gardens that stir deep emotions. Special thanks to Jorge, who proved to be a true group leader: always there, smiling and helpful, ready to solve any problem or setback. Leading a group is never easy, but he accompanied us with kindness and care. Heartfelt thanks for this wonderful experience!
L. G.The Heart of Spain 2025
Thank you so much for everything, you are very precise, simply impeccable!

Why travel with Il Giardino Segreto

A tour operator specialising in horticultural travel: the garden is never an extra stop, it is the reason for the journey.

The garden comes first

Historic, botanical and private gardens, with the places of art around them. Great houses, villages and the table follow from there.

Small groups, slow pace

Local expert guides and time to look properly, rather than simply pass through.

Gates that usually stay shut

A network of private gardens, associations and local organisations that share our idea of what a garden is for.

Tailor-made, looked after by us

Flexible itineraries or ones built from scratch, and every departure looked after before, during and after the journey.

Repertoire

Our journeys

More than sixty itineraries designed over the years across Italy and Europe: some return to the calendar season after season, and any of them can be tailored for a group, an association or a family.
