> About touring Italy with a Driver/guide:

What is a Driver/guide:

Driver-guides are fully qualified guides and tour specialists, they are selected for their knowledge of history, sense of humour and considerate attitude. You get to sit back and relax and let us handle all of your vacation tour needs. It is very informal and personal, and you will leave with a abundant amount of knowledge about our cities, sights and history. You are in the hands of a fully insured professional.
However, in many European cities, a Driver/guide may not be allowed to guide tours through major churches and museum where such explanations are restricted to Local/Guides. ( Please see next).


What is a City/Local Guide:

City/Local Guides are those who are specialized and licensed to guide in one specific city or limited area. Local culture, history and traditions are so different from area to area, even from city to city, that no single guide can possibly become highly knowledgeable about a whole country or region. Therefore many local governments, especially in Europe, have chosen to assure the integrity of the local culture by licensing only those guides who have had a formal education and have proved to be knowledgeable and qualified to represent their area or city. Tours conducted by a Local/guide are intense and detailed.
