PRIVATE TOURS

Our private tour option is an excellent opportunity to gain understanding of a particular topic in more detail while also providing the freedom to choose the content and character of your learning experience. Those opting to tour privately will have the full attention of a Presto guide making for a sort of art and history intensive. This would be the ideal option for those who would like an ongoing dialogue throughout the tour, for those who would like to explore specific subjects in depth, for those who seek the flexibility of choosing their own tour start time and for those who simply prefer to make their visit in private company. In this case, instead of joining our 'public' group tours, your party would tour exclusively with a Presto guide.

We invite you to explore our suggested itineraries below. Or, send us your own ideas! If your group has a special interest and would like to design your day to the tee by choosing which particular sites to visit, we can arrange this for you. A Presto guide can meet you directly in your hotel lobby and you can set out to meet Italy together. Or if you prefer, your guide can meet you right onsite.
