Gold Italy Trip Planning Service: “Concierge”

Our Gold Italy planning service is for the traveler who has booked hotels, needs help with the rest.

Our gold service level is for travelers who…

…have already booked accommodations

You’ve already decided where you want to go in Italy, how many days in each place. You’ve booked your hotel, Airbnb, or other accommodation, but you need help with activities, getting around, restaurants, and more.

…value our curated recommendations

You want to take advantage of our deep and broad network of incredible local guides, trustworthy drivers, and vetted restaurants. We’ll recommend and then book everything so your Italy vacation is smooth and stress-free.

…appreciate on-trip support

The Italy Beyond the Obvious local team provides on-trip support: we reconfirm all bookings a day or two ahead of time, we monitor local strikes or weather that might affect your trip, and adjust accordingly. We are a phone call away – in your time zone – while you’re on the road.
