Pearls of Italy; Semi – Private Tour with Dedicated Tour Leader & Car

Start & end in Rome 12 days Up to 10

About this trip

Twelve days across Italy, from Rome down to the Amalfi Coast and the Puglia region, then back up through Naples, Florence and Milan. You travel with a dedicated tour leader and car throughout, so it runs as a semi-private trip rather than a standard coach group.

The route mixes big-name cities with smaller, distinctive stops — the whitewashed lanes of Polignano a Mare, the conical trulli houses of Alberobello, the cave city of Matera — alongside Rome, Naples, Florence and Milan.

With a small group and a consistent guide and driver, it suits people who want the classic Italy highlights but with more personal attention than a large coach tour offers.

  • Drive the Amalfi Coast

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want to see lots of Italy without planning logistics yourself and your guide clicks with you. Think twice if you prefer fewer long driving days or want activities deeply included rather than independently arranged.

  • Guide quality transforms the trip—Bilbil and Rozi made travellers feel looked after, going beyond typical tour leader duties.
  • Substantial driving days break up sightseeing; not ideal if you prefer slower pacing or struggle with long coach time.
  • Many activities require independent arrangement rather than inclusion—you'll want spending money and own initiative beyond the itinerary.
  • Small group size allows flexibility; guides tailor time spent at each location rather than rushing you through.
