About Us

When you choose to travel with Roots of Wonder, you’re not relying on a simple intermediary — you’re placing your trust in a certified, specialized tour operator who lives and works every day in the very places you’ll be discovering.
We are part of a well-established group — Best Vasto — which has been directly managing accommodations, restaurants, and travel services for years, with qualified staff employed all year round.
This allows us to offer reliability, quality, and consistency, with no room for improvisation.

Our strength lies in combining direct hospitality with professional organization:
we own and manage hotels and B&Bs, local restaurants where you can savor authentic cuisine, and dedicated transport services to ensure safe and comfortable travel.
We don’t outsource what we consider the heart of the travel experience, because we believe every detail should be handled with responsibility and passion.

What do we offer?

Themed journeys and authentic experiences, designed for small groups or tailored for individual travelers.
We take you to the most enchanting places along the Trabocchi Coast and throughout Abruzzo, but also to nearby regions such as Molise, Marche, and Puglia, and to iconic cities like Rome, Naples, and Caserta — all deeply connected to Vasto through historical and cultural ties.

Our tours are crafted with a different approach from mass tourism: not just sightseeing, but immersive itineraries that weave together nature, history, culture, and food & wine.
You can ride along hidden trails with our electric bikes, join cooking classes and tastings with local producers, explore local markets and patron saint festivals, and experience moments of spirituality and folklore that reveal the true soul of the places you visit.

We operate all year round, because each season brings its own unique and unrepeatable experiences:
the grape harvest and olive picking in autumn, Christmas markets and rituals in winter, blooming landscapes in spring, and nature walks in summer.
In every season, there’s a genuine reason to set off — far from standardized routes.

How do we do it?

By selecting structures and partners who share our values, organizing all transport and activities directly, and offering innovative tools like Alice AI and the Alice App, which help you connect with the local territory even before your journey begins, and enrich your experience throughout your trip.

And we do it because we believe tourism should be:

  • Responsible: leaving value and wealth in the local areas.

  • Personalized: tailored to travelers, not based on pre-made packages.

  • Engaging: so that you return home not just with photos, but with memories, connections, and new insights.

With Roots of Wonder, you’re not just a tourist passing through —

you’re a traveler becoming part of the story you’re living.
