He is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Italian staff includes three professional bi-lingual private tour leaders who support those tours which Mr. Smith cannot lead.
Private Italy Tours was founded on the premise that far too many visitors come to Italy, hardly see it, and leave. The company's explorations are structured to give clients the opportunity to enter Italy, live the Italian experience, and return home transformed by the beauty of the country and her people.
We realize that travel in its most basic forms can be a challenge; negotiating both United States and foreign airport transit/security, baggage check-in processes, making your connecting flight . . .
Our travelers always appreciate knowing that, when they arrive at their final destination, a staff representative of the company who speaks both English and the local language is waiting to greet them.
We have developed very close business relationships with tour guides, restaurants, chefs, owners of olive oil producing estates, cafes, van and car services and other custom service providers across Italy. All of these relationships are strengthened and developed so that clients benefit from the most professional levels of services possible.The heart and soul of Private Italy Tours Ltd is our unwavering commitment to providing unique and unforgettable experiences to our clients. In addition to our Italian tours, we also offer special tours from time to time. Some examples of these extraordinary tours are Normandy Coast, Southern France, Switzerland/Bavaria. We keep clients up to date using our newsletters, web site and blog.
