I just returned from the Great North Italy Tour.     Our tour guide was Simone and it is no exaggeration to say he took very good care of us.    The response to every request was “of course”.     It was a memorable trip with an itinerary that allowed us to see and appreciate many regions of beautiful Italy.   So many highlights, it’s hard to know where to start.    Cinqueterre, Borghetto, the Dolomites, I could go on.    Educational too with a tour of a Parmesan cheese factory and balsamic vinegar farm.    I loved the trip and would highly recommend this tour company.   This was my second tour with Great Tours of italy and I hope to travel with them again.    A special thank you to Simone for taking such good care of us!

I did the Pearls of Italy tour. It was great! Beautiful hotels. Amazing food. The guide was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover Italy guided by a local.

An awesome tour experience traveling through Sicily with GTI!! The two tour guides, one being Sicilian, were professional, extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and very personable :). Our days were full with much to explore of  beautiful Sicily along with some personal time to ourselves. The hotels were 4 star and the food at the restaurants was exceptional.  I highly recommend GTI and The Great Sicily tour without hesitation. Thank you GTI for a wonderful and fun filled holiday.

Traveling to Italy was likely to be amazing, regardless of how we did it. HOWEVER, I am confident we could not have had a better experience than the one we had with Great Tours of Italy. They took care of all the stressful details so we could relax and enjoy our adventure.
We saw all of the "big" attractions you'd want to see on a 9-day excursion through multiple cities. But what made our trip so valuable and worth it were the countless 'little' things that turned out to be the best memories we carried home with us.
Our favorite stories about our trip are from the off-the-beaten-path stops and charming neighborhood spots we got to experience, solely because of the personal relationships our tour guides had with those local establishments.
Simone and Jamie tailored our trip to our needs and desires (whether dietary or age-related, interest-based or otherwise) and made sure we had the *most* fun along the way. GTI balanced a combination of ancient history and modern culture as we were immersed in a week of learning, shopping, eating, and exploring so many facets of the country and culture of Italy. Our trip with Great Tours of Italy made everyone in our group of 12 excited to return and continue our adventures with them next time.

I just returned from my second trip with Great Tours of Italy and it was another amazing memory making trip!  I feel like it’s an awesome price for all that you get in the package. I’ve already planned a third trip with them next year!  Simone and Jamie took such great care of details for our family of 12❤️. We would have unexpected stops for capturing a beautiful view along the way, which there were many of those!  Telling us so much about tge region and history. Favorite local restaurants with the best food.
I highly recommend traveling with Great Tours of Italy🇮🇹. You will love it!

The trip of a lifetime! Everything was superb- from the moment we landed to taking off. Elisa is a phenomenal tour guide and exceeded every expectation. Simone made sure each member was safe and taken care of- no matter how large the request! I hope to travel with this tour again. Great balance of learning, exercise and fine dining!

Great Tours of Italy-Bella Tour
What a great 14 -day experience, Great Tours-Bella Italia gave us. The Tour Guides: Simonie, Ilaria and Roberta made sure we had everything we needed, laughs, delicious food, accommodation, top- notch personal excursions and a trip to remember. This was and is the best way to experience Italy through their personal 4 couples tour. I highly recommend them.

The best experience in Italy with Great Tours of Italy!
We had an amazing time with Great Tours of Italy on our 14 day Bella Italia tour! We had arranged a private customized tour with 8 of our friends who enjoyed it as well. Each tour person was wonderful and they did everything to make our experience even better! The guides they use in each city were informative and wonderful too! We are already looking ahead to hopefully seeing another part of Italy with them in the future.

An outstanding experience!
Just returned from my second Great Tours of Italy trip, this time to Northern Italy. It was excellent! Known for food and wine, not to mention views, Italy did not disappoint but it was the wonderfully paced and curated tour that made it special. It turned out to be a very small group with just the 4 of us but the experience was even better as a result. The locations, the hotels, the food and wine were excellent. Special thanks to Simone who took great care of us. A truly memorable trip - I'm still smiling!

Trip of a Lifetime! 🇮🇹
Our Trip with Great Tours of Italy was one of a kind. When I returned home and friends asked how was Italy, I found myself responding that not only is it a beautiful country but I believe it was the Great Tours of Italy that made it a trip like I have never experienced before. We did the Pearls of Italy trip and at times when you do these types of trips you come back needing a vacation from a vacation but Great Tours of Italy took care of everything for us- the travel, food, lodging, tours, tour guides and making sure we had some relaxation time scheduled. There was no planning needed by us and this tour also gave us flexibility for those that needed a little more time to shop 👛 or relax and have a glass of wine! 🍷 No rushing to keep a tight schedule. Just pure relaxation. We can’t wait to come back! A great big thanks to Simone, our driver and also Jamie and all the other tour guides. You were all amazing!

Pearls of Italy
My friends and I recently returned from a 10 day ‘Pearls of Italy’ trip with The Great Tours of Italy. We all give this tour company a 10 star review and highly recommend their services. GTI exceeded our expectations as ‘first timers’ visiting Italy. Not only did we experience the hot spots of Venice, Tuscany, Florence, and Rome, we also veered off the beaten path along the way. Our main guide, Simone, showcased cultural and historic gems not found on traditional itineraries. We can’t thank you all enough for customizing a fabulous trip. We’re coming back, Great Tours of Italy!

A road trip we dreamed about came true
We scoured tour companies and found the perfect tour for us of southern Italy, Puglia and Sicily. We were blessed with the best driver, Simone. Who took care of our every need.
