Italy’s enduring beauty never ceases to inspire and delight, and its charms are amplified when you share it with those who share your passions.

Do you dream of mastering Tuscan cuisine as you raise a toast to your best friends? Or do you envision grasping your beloved’s hand as the shores of Bellagio come into view? Perhaps you’ve imagined bringing Rome’s grandeur to life for your children, recreating the first time you ever laid eyes on its ancient ruins. An escorted journey offers the convenience of exploring all of the allure of Italy with an experienced guide who’s there to address your needs every step of the way.

Spanning the spectrum of Italy’s most coveted sights, a guide can whisk you effortlessly from city to city while allowing ample time and personal recommendations to stop, inhale deeply and revel in the local culture. Local guides, who have enduring ties to the land, open the doors to meaningful interactions with chefs, winemakers, and historians. Lingering over a meal and a bottle of wine may be a familiar way for you and your closest friends to spend time together, and on an Italy vacation, this treasured pastime transforms to the next level.

The rare privileges escorted tours offer can take you behind the scenes of some of Italy’s most essential sights. For example, escorted journeys can offer front-of-line access to places like the Sistine Chapel. The VIP entrance allows you to breeze past the lines and take time to appreciate the painstaking details of the chapel’s ceiling.

Guided tours also allow travelers to balance must-see highlights with little-known sights. The magnetic appeal of Italy lies in its sheer diversity, from its seaside towns to wine regions laden with ancient vines and mesmerizing cities populated with engaging locals. You’ll be eased through it all alongside your group of like-minded travelers while your guide handles all the logistics, from first-class transportation to thoughtfully hand-selected hotels.
