This is not a tour; it is your customized, seamless Italian experience.

From the ancient majesty of Rome to the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, the Renaissance artistry of Florence, and the magical canals of Venice, this itinerary is crafted for comfort, exclusivity, and pure indulgence. Welcome to Luxury Italian Escape.

The Roman Empire: Your Private Welcome to History

Your journey begins the moment you land in Rome. A professional, English-speaking driver will greet you at the terminal for a private transfer to your elegant 4-star accommodation, the Hotel Fortyseven (or a similar hand-picked luxury hotel). Settle in and prepare to explore a city where 3,000 years of history are alive on every corner.

Explore Rome’s Icons by Private Golf Cart

See Rome like a local, not a tourist. You’ll embark on a captivating private golf cart tour with a local guide. This exclusive experience allows you to navigate the charming, maze-like alleys and historic streets that are inaccessible to larger vehicles. Discover hidden gems, from ancient bakeries to artisan shops, all without the exhaustion of walking miles.

Of course, no trip to Rome is complete without visiting its titans. You will experience the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill with your own private guide. With skip-the-line tickets, you’ll bypass the infamous crowds and step directly into history. The same exclusive access is granted for your visit to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Let your expert guide illuminate the masterpieces of Michelangelo and the history of the world’s smallest state. We’ve even included a free day for you to explore Rome at your own pace—perhaps a stroll through Trastevere or a shopping trip near the Spanish Steps.

The Divine Coast & Tuscan Sun: Sorrento, Amalfi, and Florence

After soaking in Rome, you’ll be transferred to your 1st class high-speed train headed south to Naples, where your private driver will whisk you away to Sorrento, the gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Your home here is the stunning Hotel Corallo, perched on a seaside cliff with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples.

A Taste of Amalfi: Cooking Classes and Capri’s Blue Waters

Prepare for one of the highlights of your trip: a full-day panoramic tour of the Amalfi Coast. Your private driver will navigate the mesmerizing “Divine Coast,” stopping for awe-inspiring photo opportunities in Positano, Amalfi, and the cliff-top village of Ravello.

But this day is not just for seeing; it’s for tasting. You’ll indulge in a farm-to-table cooking class on a terraced farm. After harvesting fresh ingredients, you’ll learn to create local dishes like bruschetta, fresh pasta, and lemon tiramisù, all enjoyed with local wine. The next day, you’ll embark on a full Capri immersion, complete with a ferry ride, a private island guide, and views of the iconic Faraglioni sea stacks.

Florence: Renaissance Art and Tuscan Wineries

Next, we travel via 1st class high-speed train to the cradle of the Renaissance: Florence. Your home will be the Hotel Balestri, perfectly located on the River Arno, just a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio.

Your time here begins with a unique Artisan Tour. A private guide will lead you not only to see Michelangelo’s iconic “David” at the Accademia Gallery (with skip-the-line tickets) but also into the workshops of Florence’s vital artisans, a journey back in time to the city’s living history. To cap off your Florentine experience, you’ll enjoy a late afternoon “Aperitivo Time” tour, discovering local wine bars, tasting Tuscany’s best wines, and savoring Florence’s signature cocktail—the Negroni.

Siena & San Gimignano: A Journey into Medieval Charm

A full-day excursion with your private driver takes you deep into the heart of Tuscany. You’ll explore the magnificent medieval cities of Siena, home of the famous Palio, and San Gimignano, the “Town of Fine Towers.” This unforgettable day includes a private wine & dine experience at a local winery, where you’ll be guided through the winemaking process and enjoy an exquisite lunch paired with three selected wines.

The Venetian Dream: Canals, Palaces, and La Serenissima

Your final stop is the one-of-a-kind city of Venice. After your 1st class train journey, your private assistant will escort you to a water taxi for a stunning arrival at the Hotel L’Orologio on the Grand Canal.

An Exclusive Evening in Venice: Gondolas and Palaces

We’ve saved the best for last. That evening, you’ll experience Venice as few ever do. Your journey begins with a private gondola ride through hidden canals, which will then transport you to a luxurious palace. Here, you’ll enjoy a private aperitif with delicious finger-foods, soaking in the views from a magnificent terrace.

Your exploration continues the next day with a private guided tour of Venice’s highlights, including skip-the-line access to the breathtaking St. Mark’s Basilica and the opulent Doge’s Palace. Walk the halls of government, see the famous Bridge of Sighs from the inside, and marvel at the golden mosaics that define this incredible city.

On your final day, your assistant will meet you for a final water taxi transfer to the airport. You’ll leave Italy not as a tourist, but as a treasured guest, with memories to last a lifetime. Arrivederci!
