Private Tours
Private Italy tours for families, couples, and groups, led by specialist guides.
- Melbourne-based Italy tour specialists
- ATAS accredited and CATO member
- Small group tour expertise
- In partnership with Inflight Travel
Our private Italy tours run on the same foundation as our small group program — specialist guides, quality accommodation, established itineraries — but the group is yours alone. This suits families travelling together, groups of friends with specific interests, couples celebrating a milestone, or small corporate groups. Private touring gives you the flexibility to adjust pace and emphasis in ways that aren’t possible on a shared departure. Most of our private tours are based on established itineraries, which we can adapt to your preferences and party size.

What Private Touring in Italy Offers
A private Italy tour means the guide, vehicle, and itinerary are yours for the duration. You set the pace. You spend more time at the Uffizi if the group wants to; you move on from Siena if two hours was enough. Within the structure of the itinerary, the experience responds to your group’s preferences in ways that a shared departure simply can’t. Private touring is particularly well-suited to groups with strong shared interests, specific requirements, or a clear idea of what they want the trip to prioritise.
Private Tours vs. Independent Travel
The advantage of a private tour over fully independent travel is the same as with any guided tour: specialist knowledge, pre-arranged logistics, and an operator who’s navigated these itineraries before and knows how to handle the complications Italy presents. Private touring adds personal flexibility on top of that expertise.
Group Size and Pricing
Private Italy tours are typically priced per person based on group size, with smaller groups paying more per head. For couples or very small groups, the per-person cost is notably higher than a shared departure. For families or groups of eight or more, the numbers can become quite competitive. We’ll give you a clear cost picture for your specific group size — just enquire and we’ll put something together.
What’s Typically Included
Private tour inclusions generally align with our standard small group program: accommodation, the majority of meals, private transport, specialist guide, and site entry fees. The key difference is that transport and guiding are exclusively for your group. We’ll walk you through the specifics for any itinerary you’re interested in.
FAQs
What's the minimum group size for a private Italy tour?
Our private Italy tours can accommodate groups from 2 people upward, though pricing per person is higher for smaller groups. Most families and friend groups travelling privately fall in the 6–16 person range. We’ll give you accurate pricing based on your exact numbers.
Can I customise the itinerary?
Our private tours are based on established itineraries, which keeps the foundational route and logistics solid. Within that, there’s often flexibility to adjust emphasis — spending more time in certain places, substituting an activity, or adding a specific experience. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is a private tour more expensive than a small group tour?
Yes, for small parties — the private guide and vehicle cost is spread across fewer people. For larger groups, the per-person cost becomes more competitive with small group pricing. We’ll give you an honest cost comparison for your situation.
Are private tours suitable for families with children?
Yes, and families are one of the most common reasons people book private tours. The ability to adjust pace and structure the itinerary around mixed ages and interests makes private touring particularly well-suited to multigenerational travel. Tell us your group composition and we’ll advise on the most appropriate itinerary.
