No, when you book a private tour with us, it will be tailor-made esclusively for you and with the itinerary you choose, that’s why we won’t allow other clients to join, unless it’s your specific request.

This is one of the questions our clients often make, particularly those who want to connect to their family roots and village! The answer is YES, Calabria is 100% safe, organized crime, unfortunately, only affects local businesses, but it does not affect tourists at all who, on the contrary, are really welcome.

Calabria enjoys a relatively mild weather all year round, yet, best time to visit would be from April/ May to October/Mid-November.

We specialize in custom tours with Private Guide/Driver, if you’d like a bilingual Escort or Driver, just let us know. We’ll be happy to plan your custom vacation accordingly.

Yes! We will plan your trip with you so that you can choose what you think works best for you and we will  be constantly in touch with you to help you with tour planning and arrangements. If you want to include other regions in your tour, we will help you with that, too.

1. Camera and memory card

If you’ve never traveled to Southern Italy, you will be surprised by the rocky landscape, green mountains and blue and green emerald seas …Make sure your camera is fully charged and ensure you have plenty of memory, because you will really want to take many pictures, guaranteed!

2. Walking shoes

Medieval villages in Italy are full of steep hills and winding streets, so be prepared to wear a v pair of very comfortable shoes.

3. Travel clothesline

A traveling clothesline is super thin, it can easily fit into your luggage and can be easily placed to dry in your hotel’s shower or bathtub, so that you can have it ready on the following day.

All our private tours are fully customized so we will work together to choose the itinerary and include activities such cooking classes, wine tours, sailing excursions, mountain hikes or archaeological visits and more.

Price varies depending on how many days you choose, when and where you want to go, the activities you want to include and how many people are in your group.

If you have a budget in mind, just send us a message and let us know. It’s way easier for us to create your ideal tour for you when we know how much your group members are expecting to spend.

You will really need to hire a car or minivan to get around in Calabria and South Italy. There are many reasons for that some of which it would be too complex to explain:

Picturesque medieval villages, castles and other highlights are often located on the hills or mountains, more or less away from the coast.

Public transportation is often unreliable and oftentimes does not serve internal areas of Southern Italy, you might very easily end up waiting for hours for a train or a bus and your vacation would really turn into something different… a real nightmare!

It’s a lot more easier to hire a private car and, best option possible, a Private Guide/Driver. You can go where you want, when you want and not be tied to a timetable and if you don’t feel like driving on winding mountain roads and villages which are often, among the other things in very bad conditions, particularly in mountainous areas, we really suggest you hire a car with Driver, who is expert on the area and this is really the best advice we can give you, just avoid venturing out by yourself if you want to really enjoy the tour in total relax and without any kind of inconvenience.

There are many reasons why a Private Guide is the best solution for your tour, following some of the most relevant:

1. You can fully relax and enjoy the landscape and highlights instead of having to drive.
2. A good Private Guide can get the most out of your tour by optimizing your time so that based on the time available you can see the best highlights.
3. Particularly in a Country like Italy full of culture, history and archaelogical sites, really an open-air museum, a good local Guide can be a precious source of information, stories, legends and anedoctes  you won’t probably find in any travel guides which can really enrich your knowledge of the Country.
4. Our Private Guides will meet you at your hotel or place and drop you off at the end of the day, so that you can relax with your family in total privacy.
5. All transfers and daily excursion will be done by a 9 seats van or car with air conditioning and English speaking Driver/Tour Guide . The van or car have an NCC plate (it is a license close to the one of a taxi); the driver has a “K” driving license, the “K” allows driving cars with NCC plate. So clients are fully insured.
6. Our Private Guides will assist you during the entire tour for anything you may need and they will help you with any last minute changes you may need for your tour, to make it fully customizable.
7. Our Private Guides are extremely professional and discretion is very important for them and they will not touch on any issues which are normally considered as sensitive.

These and many other reasons for hiring a Private Guide and we are committed to make your vacation a lifetime experience.
