Platinum Italy Trip Planning Service: “The VIP Experience”

Our Platinum Italy travel planning service is for the traveler looking for VIP level tours and treatment.

Our platinum service level is for travelers who...

…want to make the most of every day

Nobody wants to spend their vacation in go-go-go mode, however we know you want to see Italy! We’ll plan full days for you, or half days with half day recommendations. Whatever your pace, we’ve got you.

…like VIP tours and treatment

These tours require special access, in addition to advance planning, and flexibility on dates. Leave it to us! Maybe your definition of VIP just means getting to know the locals. We’re good at that, too.

…want more flexibility

Maybe you’re traveling with another couple and want to do different activities on a couple of afternoons. Our Platinum service includes up to one alternate activity per day, as well as rainy day recommendations.

…haven’t traveled a lot

If being an independent traveler in Italy makes you a bit nervous, we’ll give you extra attention to detail so that you don’t have to worry. You’ll have access to us 24/7 while on the ground. We know you may need more time before departure to go over your questions (throw ’em at us, we can answer them all).

…want to go beyond the obvious

Maybe you truly want to skip the busiest areas of Italy and get off the beaten track. We can do that. Maybe you don’t want to miss Italy’s most famous sights, and just want to see them with a more beyond the obvious approach. We can do that, too.

…want 24/7 on-trip Concierge support

Call us, text us, email us, or What’s App us and we can help with whatever you need. We suggest you read testimonials from Platinum travelers who were happy to have on-trip support.
