Welcome to Sunnyside Tours by Dr. Joseph Shainsky — where warm-spirited beauty awaits, where friendships are real (never virtual), and where we care more about the well-being of people than our own bottom line. We keep every tour small and personal. You’ll stay in excellent hotels, travel comfortably, visit inspiring attractions, and be guided by truly knowledgeable people. Above all, our itineraries are designed around you — not moneyed interests.

This journey leads you to the heart of Northern Italy — a region often referred to as the Breadbasket of Italy, where culinary traditions, medieval cities, art, and landscapes have shaped European culture for centuries. Our base will be Parma, officially recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy. It is the birthplace of Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma, a city of refined architecture, elegant streets, and genuine Italian life far from mass tourism. Parma is also the hometown of Giuseppe Verdi, whose operas La Traviata and Aida are celebrated worldwide. From Parma, we explore Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Lombardy, and the independent Republic of San Marino, discovering Italy through taste, history, and the vibe.
