We are THE tour operator specializing in Educational and Sport Tours
Based in Como, in the heart of Northern Italy, OLINAD Tours has been designing and delivering custom Educational and Sports tours since 1984. Every year, we proudly organize tailor-made experiences for schools, universities, and sports teams from around the world, especially from the United States.
What sets us apart is not just experience — it’s dedication. Our tours are never off-the-shelf: each itinerary is built around the group’s goals, whether they focus on history, archaeology, STEM, art, or design — or they compete in soccer, basketball, golf, volleyball, or track & field. From small academic groups to full collegiate teams, every trip is fully customizable and developed with care.
We partner exclusively with trusted, premium providers and guide every group with experienced staff — offering 24/7 support throughout the entire tour. Tour leaders, teachers, and coaches can travel with confidence, knowing we handle every detail: logistics, transfers, visits, meals, timing — nothing is left to chance.
Our expertise in education is deep-rooted. Our sister company, Centro Studi Casnati, founded in the 1970s, is now one of Italy’s top private high schools, pioneering programs in game development, aeronautics, languages, culinary arts, sports, fashion, and design. We strongly believe in the value of cultural exchange and experiential learning — and we design our tours with these principles at heart.
We don’t believe in mass tourism. Instead, we advocate for curated, purposeful travel that enhances learning, promotes international dialogue, and contributes to the local educational system. We want each tour to be a meaningful academic journey — one that leaves an impact not just on students, but also on Italy’s educational and cultural institutions.
Whether you're a school, university, team, or tour operator, our mission remains the same: to deliver tours that are smooth, enriching, and unforgettable — from the first idea to the final farewell.
Whether you’re just exploring options or already have a clear idea in mind, we’d love to hear from you.
