Top 5 Itineraries for a Small Group Tour of Italy

A small group tour feels more comfortable and intimate, and that can have a bearing on your overall trip experience. If you're not into waiting in long lines or tagging along in a large group, downsize and see the difference! Going small also increases the flexibility to include experiences that may be unfeasible when more people are involved. This holds true when you're in Italy, a land rich in history, architecture, culture and culinary flavours. Here are the top places to visit on a small group tour of Italy. 

Rome to Apulia, Amalfi Coast & Naples

A walking tour of Rome is perfect for viewing the architectural marvels and fascinating history of Ancient, Christian, and Baroque Rome. At Apulia, you can stay at a Trulli home, a hobbit-like cylindrical-shaped dwelling with a conical roof. Enjoy cheese tastings and learn the secrets of making authentic Italian-style pasta on your village tours. Journey on to Amalfi Coast, exploring Capri, Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi on day trips, and continue up the coast to see the volcanic ruins of Pompeii and soak in Neapolitan culture.

Tuscany

The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, Tuscany has lots of local food specialties and gorgeous landscapes, which are best explored in small groups. Your tour will include Florence, Siena, and Cinque Terre, which you will explore by boat, train, and on foot. Discover delicious local treats, stroll through medieval alleys, join a Tuscan cooking class, sip on coffee, and bite into delectable cheeses.

Taormina

Taormina is a municipality on the slopes of Mount Etna on the east coast of Sicily. It has been a popular tourist destination since the 19th century, boasting a rich historical, artistic, and cultural heritage combined with beautiful natural scenery and a pleasant climate. A small group tour of Taormina can include a number of memorable experiences, including wine and food tastings, cooking classes, a journey up Mount Etna to learn about the area's agricultural history, and a traditional Sicilian lunch at a local farm.

Rome to Venice

An escorted tour of Rome to Venice can include a number of gems along the way, including Tuscany, Northern Italy (Piedmont, Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, and Trento), and Verona. You will be exploring stunning seaside villages, enjoying the region's food and wine culture, indulging in water sports, strolling through beautiful gardens, and more.

A Classic Tour of Rome

Rome, one of the world's most romantic cities, lends itself well to a small group tour. Join a private walking tour that takes you to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums during quieter times, visit Trevi Fountain and Piazza Colonna, and explore the restricted underground dungeons of the Colosseum. You can extend your trip to Italy by combining this tour with other cities.
