Italy Private Tours

Italy works well with a private car and driver-guide. How long: Three-city classic: 7–8 days. Adding Tuscany or the south coast: 10–12 days. OuluTrip has 81 tours that include Italy, chauffeur-only from £119 per person (based on 4 travelling), all adjustable to your dates, group and interests.

A first trip to Italy usually follows Rome, Florence and Venice, then adds Tuscany’s countryside, the Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast or the Dolomites. High-speed trains link the big cities quickly; historic centres are mostly restricted traffic zones (ZTL), so a car is most useful in the countryside and along the coasts.
