Private Guided Tours

We offer private guided tours for the convenience of our guests. Though initial pricing is higher than 'doing it yourself', our guests have found that a private tour can be comparable in cost to organizing directly when factoring all the incidentals and of course the planning and organization is left to the guide.

For a relaxing and hassle-free experience we recommend private guided tours - you're on vacation, let someone else do the work!

Private tours also give you flexibility and control of the agenda, both time and content. There are many great 'packaged' tours to highlight Italy's history and we certainly recommend them however if, you require flexibility and wish personal attention we suggest private guided tours and have sourced the best guides in each area.

Rome, Milan, Venice, Florence…virtually any destination in Italy. You may choose to spend a few days in your port of entry city at the beginning or end of your stay in Umbria. We can create an itinerary for you whether you wish to visit the major sites or you have a specific area of interest, possibly off the beaten track. Our experienced guides can recommend a classic tour or develop a custom program for your group.
