See Italy the right way

We were talking about taking a trip to Italy and came across something we thought was so great we had to share it. Check out www.bestitalianvacations.com. See the best parts of Italy -- the food, culture, art, history, and adventure. Traveling with a private driver-guide offers the flexibility and freedom to stop wherever you like and get a real feeling of the places you visit. Explore off the beaten path places that only locals know. Visit Medieval villages, towns and valleys. Enjoy culinary adventures with  lunches, dinners, wine tastings and cooking classes in typical restaurants, country farms and local wineries. Experience  Italy as a traveler, not as a tourist. ​

What do you want? The Grand Tour from Rome to Venice? How about 10 days up the Amalfi coast? Or maybe a culinary tour of Tuscany. Escape to Venice or Umbia or Portofino? Spend a few days in the wine region or experience the best shopping in the world? We love the idea of designing a custom vacation and experiencing Italy in a way that makes us feel like a part of its storied history.
