Italy Car Tours

Italy is a car-mad country – think iconic Italian brands like Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, and Ferrari. There have been 98 Formula One drivers from Italy – including two World Drivers’ Champions. So seeing Italy by car only makes sense.

But if you’re not an adventurous driver yourself – or you want to avoid Italian traffic and focus on the sights – then hiring an Italy private car tour guide is the answer.

Most private car tours feature air-conditioned luxury vehicles, like a Mercedes-Benz, to take in the sights in perfect comfort. Many private car tour guides will pick you up at your hotel, so your experience couldn’t be easier.

By leaving behind a big tour bus for a private car tour, you’ll be able to explore neighborhoods that large buses simply can’t access in Rome, Siena, Naples, and the other great cities. But a private car tour also lets you go places other modes of transport simply don’t go: You can explore the countryside, go from vineyard to vineyard, or town to town – or even explore the tiny hilltop towns not well served by buses. All the while your professional, English-speaking driver will share the history of each place you visit.

If you want a little more local flavor in your private car tour, you can choose from several private car tours that use vintage Fiat 500s. Explore Rome with your head popping out of the sunroof, just like a local. Or take a tour that will let you discover the magic of Rome as depicted in the Oscar-winning movie “The Great Beauty.” (If you fall in love with the iconic Fiat, you can even arrange to take the wheel yourself!) You can explore Verona and its beautiful hills with a guide, all on your own rental Vespas.
