Private Tours & Trips in Italy
Pompeii froze in 79 AD, and you can walk those streets now. Head to the Amalfi Coast and enjoy twisting roads along dramatic cliffs, or Capri's sunset on a boat trip. Don’t forget Naples, where pizza here tastes totally different, Vesuvius vineyards in volcanic soil, and Matera's Sassi caves. Dont forget Pisa's leaning tower, Tuscan wineries, and learn to make mozzarella with your own hands.

Good itinerary. Great hotels. ALL were great . Great vehicles Will recommend tour Need to stick with what is offered. Changes were expensive. So, we did not make any .No optional excursions, so you arrange your own, which is not hard . I think itinernary can be improved . Not best english speaking guides . May be that is the way it is .
7-Day Sicily in Style from Palermo to Catania, Private TourExcellent - / Good +++ The concept, content, and delivery of the tour were excellent! The places and sites visited were well selected and planned and the van was very comfortable. The additional tour package that we bought was worth the money. And, most importantly, we were lucky enough to have Marco as our driver/guide-the very best person for this job in all of Sicily! He truly made our journey special. A few small negatives: the chocolate shop and winery tours were OK but not great, one or two of the hotels could have been better, and the trip felt rushed on some days. We would suggest that you keep the same places but extend the nights by one or two so that there would be a little more free time and fewer places to visit in one day.
Private Tour of Sicily from Palermo to PalermoI’ll admit that when I booked this tour, I was apprehensive about it, the itinerary, the guide, hotels etc. We were also expecting a small group of up to 10 people. However, When they say private that’s exactly what you’re getting a private tour. We began with a private transfer to the hotel Grand Oriente located in the heart of downtown Napoli. We began our tour in Naples with Sonia. She showed us downtown Napoli and took us on a food tour as well. That evening, our driver Antonio drove us to Sorrento and left us at the Central Wellness Hotel, a Smaller boutique hotel that wasn’t too far from the main square. The next day, our guide Mariano and the driver took us to the harbor to catch a boat to Capris. Mariano knew the ins and outs of the island and thus we were able to see and do everything on a timely schedule because of his great planning skills. Capris was amazing and beautiful. After a full day there, we caught the ferry back to Sorrento where once again a driver was waiting to take us to the lemoncello tour. He left us at the garden and let us know how to return to our hotel (maybe a 10 minute walk) when we were done. That tour was amazing and so relaxing after a long hectic day. It was the perfect end. Sadly, they can’t ship all their products so we did not get to buy as many items as we would have liked. The following day, Sonia once again along with Raffaele the driver drove us to Amalfi where we toured the town, did some shopping before driving to a winery off of Vesuvius for lunch and a wine tour then off to Pompei where she left us with another wonderful guide, Mattheo. Pompei was amazing and when we were done, Rafelle was waiting to drive us all the way back to Sorrento. A very long but well planned, enjoyable and educational day. The next day, Antonio, drove us to Atrani for an extended 2 days of rest and relaxation. The hotel chosen for us was Palazzo Ferraioli. Hotel was great and we had a great view of the water. Beware though, we had to take a lot of stairs to get to the hotel and just about every where in Atrani. Other than that, this trip which started with apprehension ended up being one of the most enjoyable experiences. We have been spoiled. It will be hard to go back to reality. Thank you Omar for all your expertise. We will never forget this wonderful adventure.
