There are several reasons why you may want or need to hire a Private Tour Guide, following are
just some of the most relevant:
- Because a local Guide will help you in the area with the main
highlights based on the time you have, thus making the most out
of your tour. - Over the years, we had the “opportunity” to notice how even some
highly reputable Tour Operator and Travel Agencies operate:
they just sell their tours online with little or no knowledge
of the area they are sending their clients to and that could
easily turn your vacation into a nightmare. Some examples? One
important T.O. specializing in walking tours, selling their
N.Y. clients a walking tour in March, without even caring to
verify whether the snow had melted or not…..and it
hadn’t! - Some journalists visiting a specific area with their Travel Agent
booking them a hotel very far away from the places they had to
visit……and several other more examples could be
given. - We will pick you up at your Hotel, at the Airport or your Cruise ship
and transfer you to your hotel/B&B, etc… - We’ll give you advice on best hotels that suit your needs and if you
are on a budget, we’ll suggest you cheap, comfortable
ones. - We will arrange transfers and Tours with Licensed Private
Guides/Drivers, fluent in English or other languages and with
an extensive knowledge of the area you’ll be visiting(say for
an Ancestry Tour, for instance). - We will arrange cooking classes and winery tours. We can organize
private or collective sightseeing tours for you. If cruising,
we can just as easily arrange you land tours. - We can arrange travel for individuals and customized group
tours. - If requested, we’ll show you off-the-beaten places on the hills or
mountains which you won’t find on regular travel guides, but
that are only known by the locals, this is particularly true
with areas like Calabria and Sicily where some of the most
important highlights can be hardly reached even by a car
because of bad road conditions (Byzantine Churches or
Monasteries, Archaelogical or even Prehistorical
sites. - We’ll suggest the best restaurants or places where you can have
genuine local food or wines, etc…. - You can count on our local relationships with the locals, rather than
adventuring on your own in places you don’t know and that
could turn your vacation a very disappointing one( you won’t
find too many people speaking English in some rural areas of
Calabria, for instance, but incomprehensible local
dialects which may be totally different within a few miles
distance and find out that even your Italian may not be of much
help. - Our clients’ needs, satisfaction and safety are our top priorities
and we put all of our passion and enthusiasm to make their
visits an unforgettable experience. You will know the true
Italy, an Italy you just couldn’t imagine it exhisted, Italy’s
best kept secret: culture, history, archaeolgy, sunshine,
sea, mountains, breath-taking views and nature, believe it or
not, we have it all! (Yet, this is not our merit!)…..and last
but not least genuine food and incredible wines. - Don’t believe us? Well, then, just don’t say we didn’t tell
you!
