Independent Itineraries

We would be delighted to help you design your own itinerary, albeit for a couple, group of friends, a family; so your travels will be a memorable experience. Our expertise and local knowledge will assist you in planning your travels. Your specially designed itinerary will fulfil your dreams.

Your budget will not restrict the efficiency of our assistance. You may wish to be accommodated in 3-, 4- or 5-star deluxe hotels, depending on your preference. You may wish to travel by train (we will reserve your seats, so you don't have to stand), have your own English-speaking chauffeur, luxury car, limousine, or minibus, enabling you to visit the places off the beaten track, familiar to us and your driver.  When hiring a car, one needs to keep in mind that fuel costs are high, there are road tolls and car-parking charges are high.  Also, a hire car is not permitted in many towns and cities, consequently reaching your desired destination can be very time consuming and stressful!

To explore the arts and history of this culturally rich part of the world, we will arrange for you to have your own professional guide (not with 40 other tourists). Your guide will not only introduce you to the arts and history, but also answer those questions you have always wanted to ask.

We will recommend restaurants, opening and closing times of villas and gardens; galleries and museums and advise you where to go and where not to go! We can help you determine which region to visit, how long to stay in each area, and what season is the best.  If you have special interests you'd like to pursue, we can build them into your itinerary. A design fee applies. This fee is indicated in our initial suggested itinerary - "a small price to pay" for a hassle-free holiday!!

Please do not hesitate to discuss your ideas with us.

We have had a combined 44 years’ experience in the travel industry in Italy.

Your travel agent will advise you on air arrangements available to suit our itinerary.  If you do not have your own travel agent, we will recommend ours for you to contact directly.

They will also advise you on a travel insurance policy to cover any deposits paid towards your travels.

Please contact me for advice on flights and a recommended travel agent if you do not have your own. The choice of airline is yours!!!  If you have any queries or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
