Ravenna: Mosaics Walking Tour & UNESCO Sites TicketYou’ll walk through Ravenna’s UNESCO basilicas with a local guide who brings ancient mosaics to life, stand beneath starry blue ceilings at Galla Placidia’s mausoleum, peek at Dante’s tomb, and end with time to explore the city center on your own. Expect moments of quiet awe and plenty of small surprises along the way.
Snorkeling in Favignana from Marsala: Three bays and lunchA full-day cruise from Marsala to Favignana and Levanzo with snorkeling at three bays, free use of snorkeling kits, and lunch served on board. The boat departs at 9am with breakfast, makes a stop for a free walk around Favignana's port village, and returns to Marsala around 5:30pm. A guide speaks English, Italian or French.Is it for me?The boat spends most of the day in the water across three different bays, so comfort in and around water is the main thing — the pace is slow, the stops are long, and entry is easy from the boat. Families with young children travel free, and strollers are welcome on board.
Rome: Tipsy Painting Class in 17th-Century PalazzoYou’ll step into a cozy Monti art studio inside a centuries-old palazzo, snack on Roman pizza, and sip unlimited Italian wine as you paint iconic Rome scenes with guidance from a local instructor. Expect laughter, new friends, and a souvenir canvas that feels more personal than any shop trinket.
Mount Etna hiking tour: 2000m trek with volcanic caveA guided hiking tour from Catania that climbs Mount Etna's southern slope to 2000 meters, passing through forests and past lava formations to reach a volcanic cave you enter with helmets and torches provided. The 6- to 7-hour tour includes a naturalistic guide in English or Italian, transport by Jeep or minibus from your meeting point, and a meal of Sicilian street food with Etna wine (or pizza and local products in winter). You can book privately or join a public group; trekking shoes and jackets are provided free if you request them at booking.Is it for me?Choose the private option if you want to set your own hiking pace; pick the public departure if you prefer to share the route with other hikers and split costs.
Siracusa: Self-Guided Walking Tour with Audio & Food TipsYou’ll wander Siracusa’s markets and ancient temples guided by your phone — but also by local voices sharing stories and food tips only insiders know. Hear legends at Fonte Aretusa, taste arancini where locals eat, and let yourself drift through centuries-old streets at your own pace. It’s not perfect navigation — but that’s half the fun.
Rome: Colosseum, Trevi Fountain & Vatican Half-Day TourYou get hotel pickup, a four-hour minivan loop through Rome's eight main landmarks—Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, Castel Sant'Angelo, and St. Peter's Basilica—with an English-speaking driver and small-group pacing. No entry fees are included; you're seeing exteriors and public spaces. The fixed schedule means you don't have to plan transport or timing yourself, which is what makes fitting this many stops into one afternoon possible.Is it for me?Book this if you're short on time and want to see Rome's main sights without arranging transport, planning a route, or buying individual entry tickets—the fixed four-hour schedule and small-group pacing are what make hitting eight landmarks in one afternoon realistic.
Syracuse: Ortigia Boat Tour & Sea Caves 2hYou board a 9-meter boat at Ortigia and spend two hours circumnavigating the island—north to the sea caves, through the narrow canal, across the massive natural harbor, and south along the Marina del Plemmirio beaches. The skipper explains the history and geology as you go, and you stop twice to swim or snorkel in the clearest water. A bathroom onboard means you don't have to plan around that constraint.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand Syracuse's geography and history from the water without arranging your own boat—the skipper's commentary and the fixed route mean you see the whole story in two hours instead of piecing it together from land.
Syracuse Neapolis: Private Walking Tour of Greek Theater & Ear of DionysiusYou’ll walk ancient paths through Syracuse’s Neapolis Archaeological Park with a local guide who brings history to life—touching Greek stones, hearing echoes in the Ear of Dionysius, wandering quarries where time feels thick. Expect real stories, small surprises, and that strange feeling when old places suddenly feel close.
Rome photoshoot: Capture your trip with a photographerA professional photoshoot in Rome pairs you with an experienced photographer for a session at one of five landmarks—the Colosseum, Vatican, Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona or a combination route—where you'll move through the city's best-lit streets and hidden corners while the photographer directs and frames each shot. Sessions run 30 minutes to two hours depending on the package, and you receive 30 to 60 high-resolution edited photos within three business days. Booking at least a day ahead lets the photographer plan the start time around the season's best light; same-day bookings risk shooting after sunset.Is it for me?Choose the two-hour session to build a story across neighborhoods, or the 30-minute option if you want polished portraits at one landmark.
Naples Private Walking Tour: 3 or 4 Hours with a Local GuideA private, personalized walking tour of Naples lasting three or four hours, led by a local guide who shapes the itinerary around your interests before you meet. You'll walk Via Toledo, the Spanish Quarter, Toledo Metro Station's underground art, and the Saint Lucia waterfront overlooking Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. After booking, you complete a questionnaire about what excites you—food, architecture, history, daily life—and your guide reaches out to finalize a custom route that balances iconic sights with hidden local corners.Is it for me?Book the three-hour tour if you want a focused walk through the main neighborhoods without rushing; choose four hours if you prefer a slower pace, more time to explore side streets, or a deeper dive into one area that captures your attention. Either length works for solo travelers, couples, or small groups who'd rather have a guide adapt to them than follow a fixed group schedule.
Rome: Capuchin Crypt Concert & Caravaggio Museum TourYou'll hear live sacred music in a 17th-century chapel, walk through a museum of Renaissance paintings, and descend into a crypt decorated entirely with the bones of friars — all with an audioguide and an art historian's context. If you add dinner, you stay for a three-course Roman meal afterward. Arrive by 4:15 p.m. at the Via Veneto entrance.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see a Caravaggio and walk through an actual crypt without spending hours in a queue or navigating a crowded museum — the tight admission window and small groups are what make the intimacy possible.
Florence: Perfume Making Workshop & Take-Home ScentYou'll spend 1 to 1.5 hours learning fragrance structure and blending your own signature scent using luxury ingredients like oud and sandalwood, guided by a professional perfumer. You take home a 30ml bottle of your creation, plus notes on your recipe. Small groups keep the experience intimate, and the studio sits in central Florence with easy access by public transport.Is it for me?Book this if you want a hands-on creative activity that leaves you with something real—a scent you actually made, not just watched someone else make—and you'd rather spend an afternoon doing something than collecting another postcard.
Florence & Fiesole: Golf Cart Tour with Roman Ruins or HillsYou’ll glide through Florence’s hills or up to Fiesole by golf cart with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Expect hands-on moments at San Miniato al Monte, time among ancient Roman ruins (entry included), and those sweeping city views from Piazzale Michelangelo — plus small surprises along the way that make everything feel personal.
Rome Vespa Tour: Colosseum, Trastevere & Pro Photos PickupYou’ll ride as a passenger on a classic Vespa through Rome’s legendary streets—past the Colosseum, up Janiculum Hill for sweeping views, and into lively Trastevere.

Lake Como: St. Moritz & Bernina Express Panoramic TrainYou depart Como by bus for St. Moritz, spend free time exploring the Swiss resort town, then board the Bernina Express in a reserved panoramic carriage for a two-and-a-half-hour descent through UNESCO-listed Alpine scenery, passing Lake Bianco and the Brusio Spiral Viaduct before reaching Tirano, Italy, and returning to Como by bus. Your guide and transport are included; bring your passport.Is it for me?Book this if you want to cross the Alps without driving and see the highest points by train — the panoramic carriage and fixed itinerary mean you get the views and the stops without arranging transport or timing yourself.
Avola boat tour: Swim Vendicari, aperitif at CapopasseroA boat tour departing from Avola that follows the coast south through the Gulf of Noto, stopping to swim in Vendicari Nature Reserve and explore volcanic cliffs, Roman columns, and the Tafuri Castle by water. The tour includes snorkeling equipment, a Sicilian aperitif with sparkling wine and arancini, and a 30-minute walk through the fishing village of Marzamemi before returning to port. A live guide in English or Italian leads the group.Is it for me?Five hours on the water leaves room for a morning or afternoon elsewhere in the day, but not both—book this if you want a full coastal experience without committing the whole day, or pair it with a morning in Avola or an evening meal in Marzamemi after the tour ends.
Carrara Marble Quarries: 4x4 Tour & Colonnata Lardo TastingYou’ll ride a 4x4 through Carrara’s legendary marble quarries with a local guide who shares stories from centuries of stonecutting. Feel mountain air at 1,000 meters, hear tales of Michelangelo’s search for perfect marble, then finish by tasting Colonnata lardo in town—a day full of grit and flavor you won’t forget soon.
Gulf of Orosei boat tour: Five coves and swimming stops, SardiniaAn 8-hour boat excursion in the Gulf of Orosei, Sardinia, with a skipper guiding a small group of up to 12 people to five named coves for swimming and beach time. The boat carries an awning, hand shower, snorkeling masks and onboard toasts; the skipper chooses the stops based on conditions and the group's pace.Is it for me?The boat moves at a steady pace between coves with time to swim at each one, so it suits anyone comfortable in the water and ready for a full day on the sea. The skipper adjusts stops based on conditions, which means the itinerary can shift — come ready to follow the water rather than a fixed schedule.
Rome: Capitoline Museums Private Tour & Ancient ArtYou’ll step through quiet galleries with a local guide who knows every corner of Rome’s Capitoline Museums—from colossal ancient statues to Bernini’s haunting Medusa. Expect rare views over the Roman Forum and stories that make old emperors feel oddly close. This private tour includes tickets and expert insight—leaving you with more questions than answers (in a good way).
Capri boat tour from Sorrento: Caves, swimming & local guideA guided boat tour from Sorrento to Capri for groups of up to 12 travelers, departing from your hotel and lasting 7 to 8 hours. The route circles the island's most famous grottos—the Green Grotto, White Grotto and others—with time to swim, snorkel and explore Marina Piccola village on foot. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Italian, points out fishing grounds and island history along the way, and the boat carries snorkeling equipment, life jackets, drinks and snacks.Is it for me?Book this if you want a structured day with hotel pickup and a guide handling all navigation and stops, rather than planning your own route around Capri.
