Our Back Office Team
They are in charge of what goes on “behind the scenes”. With their experience and perseverance, they are eager to assist the customers, by creating the perfect service for them.
Our drivers, on the contrary of our tour drivers, serve as personal chauffeurs. The service of a private driver includes luxury transportation to the place you have to reach. Whether it is an Airport transfer, long distance transfer or Cruise transfer, a driver will pick you up and drop you off directly at your requested locations at a time you request. Although it is a chauffered service, our drivers are very friendly and will provide you with the basic information you need and help you with your luggage.
A Tour driver is a professional multilingual driver, who arranges your itinerary so that you arrive to the visited locations in a timely manner. Our private tour drivers' job is to provide all the entertainment and information on the places you'll visit touring the places on board our luxury vehicles.
Being experts in local customs, art and traditions, they will give you a fun filled driving tour through the day.
According to the Italian Law, tour drivers are not authorized to leave the vehicle under any circumstance. So even though they will do everything possible to give you all the information you will need and help you enter the visited sites, they will not actually enter places such as Museums, churches, archeological sites, restaurants with you. But will be at your complete service by the car, while you enjoy your tour.
And, of course, provide all the assistance you will need.
This will give you the perfect opportunity to browse and stroll the venues freely, with the helpful hints and recommendations of your tour drivers. While your private tour driver will attend to you from the vehicle.
A tour escort is a professional figure, that will assist you during your tour. Providing all the information you will need through out the day. It isn't a qualified guide, but an assistant that will be at your service, while you visit the venues, translating for you, and help you in every way necessary.
The presence of a tour escort is often required and mandatory with large groups. In fact, when a group of 8 to 10 people or more travel together on our minibus, interactions with the driver will not be possible and so your tour escort will answer all your questions and assist you in every way. While the minibus driver will focus on the road.
Aside from large groups, if a private guide isn't included in your tour, a tour escort is always available for an additional cost, in case you would like to enter and visit the sites with an assistant, since your tour driver can't join you directly.
Professional Guides
In addition to our private tour drivers, it is always a nice idea to include the service for one of our professional guides. Our guides are knowledgeable, qualified and so very passionate.
They specialize in different fields of Italian Culture, Traditions, Archeology, History, Art, food, wine and other curiosities. From the Artistical and religious aspect of the Vatican Museums, to the Archeological wonders of Roman and Etruscan times, to Religious arts and cultures, all the way to the history of Italian food and wine.
A guide for literally every need.
The best way to visit certain venues is, for sure with the assistance of our passionate guides.
Not only they will enter each venue directly with you, which wouldn't be allowed to our fleet of tour drivers, but will give you a fun, interesting and accessible tour of the places you wish to see.
With upclose explanations, made fun and exceptional. A tour with the inclusion of one of our private guides, will make your day all the more special and unique. Highly recommend!
