Private Drivers & Guides in Italy

Italy Vacation Specialists offers private driving and guide service in every region throughout Italy, which is one of the most challenging countries in the world in terms of driving and parking and there are many areas in Italy where we absolutely do not recommend you drive yourself unless you know the area well.  

Areas to Avoid Driving in Italy Include:
 

 

Part of the reason we do not recommend you driving in these areas is because of the extremely hazerdous roads in areas like the Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast, but it is not only this - the parking in these places is virtually non-existent and can end up costing hundreds of Euros.  The same is true for Florence, Venice and Rome. Obviously, Venice the island city iteslf does not allow for cars - but even going there and parking is extremely expensive, so we do not recommend you brining a car there.  As for Rome, the eternal city, there is a labrynth of streets, the road-system itself is very complicated and parking extremely expensive and like in Florence, the city has many areas in the historical center which are open to local traffic only.  

We operate tours in all of these areas and provide driving services in every region throughout Itlay.  Our drivers and guides know the territories that they operate in, since most have grown up and lived there their entire life.  Not only will they allow you to enjoy the destinations themselves at ease, but they can also show you areas of these cities and destinations you probably wouldn't ever see on your own accord.  

 

Furthermore, our drivers are not only licensed chauffeurs, they are tourism professionals who are prepared to act as your interpreter, on-site concierge, shopping consultant and "Maitre-D".   They will make recommendations on the best sites to see, give information on how to best manage your time where tours are concerned, and even help if you would like to make short-term changes due to your preferences.
