Trip throughout Italy. Visit Italy by private car with a driving guide.6
 
Let me have the pleasure to show you my country!
 

I would like to help you plan your Italian vacation and then take you on it!

HOME

A journey by private car throughout Italy is an unforgettable experience. You see the country in a way that would never be possible if traveling by bus, train or plane. Just the trip from Florence to Rome, through Tuscany and Umbria, would be worth it. The countryside between Florence and Rome is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. One can stop to visit some lovely little medieval towns like Cortona, Todi, Assisi, Orvieto etc. etc. The famous Venetian "Gondola" boats
I can help with hotel bookings too!

Here is an idea an Italy trip. All the major highlights and also places off the beaten path.This itinerary can also be reversed, start from Naples to end in Venice.
