Bologna: Walking Tour with University Quarter & Piazza MaggioreYou’ll wander through Bologna’s lively markets and quiet squares with a guide who knows every shortcut—and every story behind those ancient stones. Taste local specialties in the Quadrilatero, stand beneath Neptune’s watchful gaze at Piazza Maggiore, and catch small moments most travelers miss. This isn’t just sightseeing—it feels like borrowing someone else’s hometown for an afternoon.
Ravenna: Private UNESCO Mosaics Tour & Dante’s TombYou’ll walk through Ravenna’s world-famous UNESCO mosaics with a local specialist, stand under starry ceilings at Galla Placidia, pause by Dante’s Tomb, and hear stories that make ancient stones feel alive. Expect laughter, quiet moments, and details you won’t forget.
Rome: Fiat 500 Vintage Photo Tour & Night City DriveYou’ll ride through Rome’s wild heart in a vintage Fiat 500 with a local photographer who knows every shortcut and story. Expect laughter by the Colosseum, hidden corners in Trastevere, orange-scented breezes at Giardino degli Aranci, and candid photos you’ll actually want to keep. It’s not about perfection — it’s about feeling like you belong here for an afternoon or night.
Snorkeling in Palau: 8-guest sailing tripA full-day sailing trip from Palau through La Maddalena Archipelago with snorkeling stops at 2–3 coves including Piscine di Budelli, Razzoli, and Santa Maria. You board a 12-meter boat (maximum 8 passengers) at 9:30am, sail to protected anchorages where you swim and snorkel, and return around 5pm. The captain holds both US and Italian commercial licenses and has sailed worldwide for over 25 years. A high-quality aperitif with prosecco, local cheese and salami is served on board; you can bring your own lunch and use the onboard ice box.Is it for me?The boat leaves at 9:30am and you're back by 5pm, so plan for a full day on the water. The smaller 8-passenger limit means less crowding at the snorkeling stops, which matters if you want room to move in the coves without jostling other swimmers.
Florence Private Tour with a Local: Highlights & Hidden GemsA private walking tour of Florence built entirely around your interests, with a local host who designs the route after you share what draws you. You complete a short online form after booking; your guide reaches out to craft a personalized itinerary that might include Ponte Vecchio, Sant'Ambrogio Market, Piazza della Signoria, Oltrarno's artisan district, or hidden corners only locals know. The experience is flexible on duration (2 to 6 hours) and start time, and your host can meet you on foot at a central accommodation. Walking is the primary mode; public transport may be used between distant stops at additional cost.Is it for me?Choose the duration that fits your schedule: a 2-hour walk for a quick taste of a neighborhood, or a full 6-hour day to move slowly through multiple districts and stop for a market browse or a coffee. The personalization form means you're not following someone else's script—your guide builds the route around what actually interests you, so you spend your time on Renaissance palazzos or food markets or artisan studios, not on the things that bore you.
Syracuse: Ragusa, Modica & Noto Baroque Towns with Chocolate TastingYou leave Syracuse at 8:30am and spend the day moving between three baroque towns: two hours in Ragusa Ibla, a chocolate tasting in Modica, two hours in Noto with lunch included, then return in the evening. The car has permits to drive into the restricted zones where regular taxis can't go, so you skip the parking hunt in each town. Bottled water and WiFi are included; lunch in Noto is on your own.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see three baroque towns in one day without arranging your own transport or navigating the narrow streets and parking in each place — the permits and driver handle both, which is what makes three stops fit into a single afternoon.
Castelli Romani Wine Tasting & Food Pairing from RomeYou’ll leave Rome behind for a day in Castelli Romani’s hills, meeting winemakers whose family has worked these vines since 1712. Walk the vineyard with your guide, taste local wines paired with homemade food, and share laughter around their table—then return to the city carrying those flavors (and maybe a few new words) with you.
Pasta and Tiramisu Cooking Class in Naples with ChefA pasta and tiramisu cooking class in Naples where you prepare fresh egg pasta dough by hand, cut three pasta shapes (tagliatelle, ravioli, maltagliati), and make tiramisu from scratch with an English-speaking chef. The class runs 2.5 hours at a restaurant in the city center and includes the three pasta dishes you've made plus tiramisu, coffee and one drink.Is it for me?The 2.5-hour timeframe fits into an afternoon without eating up the whole day, so you can explore other parts of Naples before or after. If you want to spend longer in the kitchen or need a private class, you'll need to arrange that separately.
E-bike tour in Orvieto: Medieval streets, wine tasting, 3–4 hoursA 3–4 hour e-bike tour of Orvieto led by a live guide, crossing the medieval quarter, the Rocca di Albornoz fortress, the Piazza del Duomo and the Underground excavated in tuff.

E-bikes are supplied and suitable for all fitness levels; children from age 1 are welcome.Is it for me?Choose this tour if you want to cover Orvieto's medieval hilltop and underground chambers on e-bikes with narration in English, Italian, or Russian—the motor assistance handles the steep terrain while you focus on the sights.
Venice After Dark Tour: Gondola Ride Private Evening WalkA private 2-hour after-dark walking tour of Venice with a live guide, followed by a 30-minute gondola ride under the Bridge of Sighs. You walk through the historic centre past St Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge, Marco Polo's house and the location of Canova's death, hearing stories from Venice's past, then sail the canal labyrinth by gondola as the city lights reflect off the water. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're staying outside Venice's centre or without a car—the guide meets you, handles the route and the timing, and the gondola is included, so you move through the city and its canals as a single experience without arranging transport between stops.
Etna Wine Tasting & Sicilian Lunch from Catania with PickupYou’ll taste honey in Zafferana Etnea, sample Etna DOC wines at two different wineries, and share a long Sicilian lunch with locals—all in one day trip from Catania. Expect laughter over lunch, vineyard walks on volcanic soil, and plenty of stories from your guide along the way.
Chianti Castles & Wine Tasting Day Trip from SienaYou’ll walk castle paths above Chianti vineyards, taste wines poured by people who make them, share lunch at a Tuscan estate, and wander through medieval villages—all with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. It’s not just tasting wine; you’ll feel part of this sun-baked landscape for a day.
Tuscany: Brunello & Montepulciano Wine Safari Day TripYou’ll ride offroad through Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia with a local guide, tasting Brunello in Montalcino cellars and Vino Nobile in Montepulciano’s family-run winery. Enjoy lunch by ancient thermal springs in Bagno Vignoni and free time wandering Pienza’s artisan shops. It’s less about rushing between sights than soaking up flavors, stories, and landscapes you’ll remember long after you leave.
Rome Night Walking Tour: Julius Caesar & Emperors’ StoriesYou’ll walk Rome’s nighttime streets where emperors once plotted and loved—stand at Julius Caesar’s assassination site, hear stories by moonlight near the Pantheon, and end in Piazza del Popolo learning about Nero’s wild ambitions. With a local guide weaving drama into every stop, you’ll see ancient ruins come alive and probably leave thinking about them long after.
Lambrusco tasting tour in Modena: Cleto Chiarli wineryA guided tour of Tenuta Cialdini, the Chiarli family winery in Modena's Castelvero hills, takes you through the vineyards and production facilities, then sits you down to taste four wines from the Cleto Chiarli line with local cheese, cured meat and balsamic vinegar. The visit runs about 90 minutes and includes a guide in English or Italian. The estate has operated for over 140 years and sits on more than 50 hectares of Lambrusco Grasparossa vineyards.Is it for me?The estate sits outside Castelvetro di Modena, a few kilometers from the village, so if you're staying in Modena city or don't have a car, you'll need to arrange transport there and back—but that also means the tour itself is self-contained and you don't have to navigate between stops or time your own day around opening hours.
Venice: Private Photo Shoot & Gondola Ride with PickupYou’ll wander Venice’s famous squares and bridges with a local photographer who knows all the good angles—then float along quiet canals in a private gondola while your moments are captured naturally. Expect laughter, small surprises, and a digital photo book full of real memories.
Sorrento Pizza Making Class: Learn from a PizzaioloA hands-on pizza making class in Sorrento where you learn traditional Neapolitan techniques from a local pizzaiolo, make your own pizza in a wood-fired oven, and eat it with wine and dessert. The class runs about two hours in a small group on a terrace overlooking the Gulf of Sorrento, with pickup included and instruction in English or Italian.Is it for me?Two hours is short enough to fit into a morning or afternoon without eating up your whole day, but long enough to actually learn the technique and sit down to eat what you made—not a rushed demo or a tasting that leaves you hungry.
Rome: Pantheon, Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps Private WalkStep into Rome’s heart with a private walking tour led by a local guide. You’ll wander through Piazza Navona’s morning buzz, marvel at the Pantheon’s silent grandeur, climb the Spanish Steps, and toss your coin into Trevi Fountain. These moments feel personal—sometimes even quietly magical—in ways you might not expect.
Royal Palace and Shroud Chapel tour Turin: With local guideA guided tour of Turin's Royal Palace and the Chapel of the Holy Shroud with a local guide and entrance tickets included. You walk through the throne room, reception halls and Royal Armory of the Savoy dynasty's seat, then climb to the Guarini Chapel—a baroque masterpiece rebuilt after a 1997 fire—where you look down into Turin Cathedral and the sealed case holding the Shroud, though it remains not visible. The tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours; the guide speaks English, Italian or French; the Cathedral itself is viewable only during its open hours and outside of Mass times.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a free morning and want to understand the rooms and objects themselves rather than just walk through them—a local guide who knows Turin turns the Palace from a list of rooms into a story about the dynasty that ruled from them. The fixed schedule and included tickets mean you don't arrange anything; you show up and the day unfolds.
Alberobello private tour: Trulli discovery & tastingA private guided tour of Alberobello takes 2.5 to 3 hours through the UNESCO-listed trulli districts, led by a guide who speaks English or Italian. You explore Rione Aia Piccola, stop at the Belvedere viewpoint, visit the Basilica of Saints Cosma and Damiano and the two-storey Trullo Sovrano house-museum, then walk through Rione Monti before ending with a tasting of extra-virgin olive oil, salty and sweet taralli, and local liqueurs in a trullo shop. The tour is private, so any changes must be agreed with your guide in advance.Is it for me?This is a private tour, so you move at your own pace with only your guide—ideal if you want to linger at the Belvedere or ask questions without keeping a group waiting. If you prefer to join other travelers or move faster through the highlights, a shorter shared tour would suit you better.
