Discover Italy on a private journey through food, art and nature
Celebrated cuisine and fascinating cities are just a few things you can expect from a luxury trip to Italy. With an expert guide you will step back into the past and discover an ancient civilisation, enjoy sought after reservations at some of the world’s finest restaurants and cruise the coastline in search of “La Dolce Vita”.
Luxury Italy tours encapsulate the best of European travel. Each region you visit has a unique identity that, combined, make Italy incredibly rewarding to explore. Your bespoke itinerary will include a range of authentic, fascinating and beautiful locations.
Visit Rome, one of the most historically interesting destinations in the world. Hop from ancient landmark to grand church, uncovering thousands of years of history. Pause to dine on delicious pizza and sip on classic Italian coffee.
Enthralling cityscapes and grand Renaissance triumphs reign supreme in Venice and Florence. While, in the countryside of Tuscany, rolling hills and incredible wines await.
Coastlines and glistening shores are found on the Amalfi Coast, around Lake Como and in peaceful Puglia on a private Italy tour. In Sardinia you’ll relax in stunning hotels on idyllic beaches, with a variety of hiking trails that crisscross shady woods and cooler hilltops.
Incredible hiking continues in the Dolomites. Trace remote routes around glacier-fed lakes and up to cascading waterfalls. Continue your outdoor adventures and bike along peaceful lanes and farm tracks, stopping for gourmet picnics, wine tasting or a woodcarving workshop.
Your private Italy tour can also combine different styles of travel, for a deep and unforgettable insight into each location. For example, along with family trips, hiking tours and history and culture experiences, we recommend food and wine tours paired with Italian rail trips.

Where to go in Italy
Capri
This is the island that charmed both Roman Emperors Augustus and Tiberius, America’s Hollywood darlings and this century’s international jet set.
Emilia Romagna
Home to pretty coastal towns, elegant cities and is considered by many to be the country’s foodie capital.
Florence
Surrounded by rolling Tuscan hills, the beautiful city of Florence is one of Europe’s most enchanting and historically influential cities.
Lake Como
Picturesque towns and grand villas are scattered around the lake and exploring them is easy thanks to the ferry service.
Matera
Matera is the jewel in Basilicata’s crown, a jumble of houses and churches perched on a plateau with deep canyons either side.
Milan
Milan is Italy’s financial and industrial heart, a thoroughly modern European city with a great history not far under the surface.
Piedmont
Nestled in the north west of the country and fringed by the French and Swiss Alps, Piedmont is one of Italy‘s most naturally beautiful regions.
Portofino and Cinque Terre
Portofino, perched on its own peninsular, is Liguria’s glamorous heart and one of the most perfect fishing ports in the Mediterranean.
Puglia
Puglia feels very different to the rest of the country and is the perfect place for those looking to get off the beaten track.
Rome
Unmatched heritage blends across the ages to make a stroll through Rome endlessly surprising.
Sardinia
Sardinia has its own unique identity, and its inhabitants are fiercely proud of their island which is as intriguing as it is beautiful.
Sicily
Sicily has long been a melting pot of Mediterranean culture, a ruggedly beautiful island surrounded by sparkling seas.
The Amalfi Coast
Draped along the cliffs on the southern side of the Sorrento Peninsula, between Salerno and the city of Sorrento, the Amalfi Coast is dramatic and glamorous.
The Dolomites and the Alps
Soaring peaks, tooth-like crags and lush verdant slopes, the Dolomites are some of Italy’s most dramatic scenery.
Tuscany
Tuscany has long drawn enamoured visitors, each after culture, wine, fine food and tangible history.
Venice
An extraordinary architectural masterpiece in which even the smallest building may contain works by some of Europe's greatest artists.
Verona
In the historical centre, modestly grand piazzas and a maze of streets are dotted with quietly humming cafes, artisan shops and high couture boutiques.

When to visit Italy
Italy is a year-round destination. Summers can get very hot and crowds do swell, so spring and early autumn are great times to visit. The sun is still shining and it’s much more pleasant to explore the cities once the intense summer heat has subsided.
