Tempo Holidays has launched its 2012 Italy brochure which combines Central Europe for the first time.

The 84-page Italy & Central Europe 2012 brochure includes Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Malta, Slovenia and Switzerland, as well as eight new tours.

“Combining Italy and Central Europe into one brochure is a great step forward, giving clients more options to discover Central Europe after their Italian holiday and allowing them to easily put together the ultimate European adventure,” product manager Rad Rusin said.

New tours include the 7-day Gastronomic Tuscany, and 6-day Gastronomic Umbria and Gastronomic Piedmont. These exclusive culinary tours embody the ‘Slow Food Movement’ principles of sustainable, traditionally produced cuisine and are packed with authentic gastronomic experiences, from sampling pecorino at an artisan cheese farm to tasting world class wines in a centuries old cellar from $1870* per person twin share.

Tempo has also introduced the 11-day Italian Discovery including the Cinque Terre which visits Rome, Florence and Venice as well as Lake Como and the picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre from $2774* per person twin share. The price includes an earlybird saving of $350* when booked and paid in full by 1 March 2012.

A $300 earlybird saving applies to the popular 8-day Italian Discovery, which travels through Florence, Venice, Milan, the Tuscan countryside and Verona , now priced from $1801* per person twin share inclusive of discount when booked and paid in full by 1 February  2012.

Both earlybird savings are based on 2 passengers travelling together and sharing a twin/double room, apply to new bookings only and are valid for travel 24 March – 3 November 2012.
