PRIVATE DRIVERS & GUIDES IN ITALY
Our Driving Services in Italy:
Why hire a private driver?
Driving in Italy will give you the freedom to visit places that can't be accessed by public transport, but there are many reasons you wouldn't want to drive here yourself:
Local driving can be challenging for non-locals, and some places are definitely much more dangerous than others. Italians can be aggressive and impatient behind the wheel, which our professional drivers are unfazed by.
Driving in most historic town centers is limited these days. With a rental car, you would have to park outside the center and walk in. Professional drivers can take you into the heart of the city, drop you off and pick you up again when you are ready to leave.
Roads weren't designed for modern tourism so you can spend a lot of time in traffic, which can be stressed. From the comfort of the backseat, you can enjoy the view and allow your driver to navigate the best route to your destination.
Italy is renowned for its wine and wine tasting is one of our most popular tours. With a driver, you won't have to worry about exceeding the 1 glass limit, or Italy's zero-tolerance policy for those who do drink and drive.

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough.

They k ... [Read More]

In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists. Being a travel agent and in the business, I know how complicated organizing travel arrangements can be in Italy and the IVS team took a huge burden off of me! I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]
