Small Group Tours of Italy

Tours designed for the traveller who wants more than just a holiday.

Our experienced guides, Mario, Viny, and Gianni, and our team of local experts will take you on a personally guided tour of some of Italy’s most exciting and hidden destinations. Through travelling Italy for more than 40 years, we’ve built strong relationships with businesses and the local people which is what makes our tours so special. You’ll enjoy a once in a lifetime experience that makes you feel like a traveller, rather than a tourist.

Our itineraries take you on a journey to fascinating Renaissance and medieval hill-towns. You will see stunning landscapes and indulge in glorious authentic food and wine experiences. With artistic treasures, ancient crafts and vibrant life to discover, you will be immersed in the fascinating culture and history of Italy. We will visit must-see destinations as well as go off the beaten track, where few travellers venture.

With a maximum of 14 travellers, Vita Italian Tours are personalised and intimate. We are able to venture to places that large groups cannot go. These specialised tours are suitable for everyone, whether you are a first-time visitor to Italy or a seasoned traveller. No matter if you are travelling as a couple, with friends and family, or solo, our tours will provide an engaging and personal experience.

Guests will be carefully looked after by our bilingual tour leaders, from the beginning of the tour to the final airport transfer. Vita Italian Tours takes COVID-19 precautions seriously and assures all necessary measures are taken to ensure our guests’ safety.

Our guests say it all

It was like going on holidays with a group of friends. It just happened that two of them had a knack of picking great restaurants, great places to visit and the ability to jump queues when required. The sharing of information by both Mario and Gianni throughout the tour enriched our experience. It was well balanced and with easy going tolerance for those who wondered off to take photos.

Grand Tour of Italy

What a wonderful way to see Cinque Terre - your personal style together with a passionate love for Italy provided the value-added experience for the group. Loved the combination of train and ferry ride to see the 5 towns and plenty of opportunity to walk through at our pace. Excellent accommodation and a highlight was the cooking demonstration. Thanks again. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Northern Lakes & Dolomites

We loved every minute of the tour. Thank you for showing us 'your' Italy and sharing your passion for the arts, architecture, food, wine and people. It was everything we wanted in a tour - structured without being over the top. It all felt so comfortable, like we were travelling with friends who just happened to know the lingo, the country and great places to eat! Thanks for your great company and sense of humour and of course your excellent driving skills!!

— S & A Schorer (WA)
The Best of Tuscany, Umbria & Le Marche

The tour provided a great opportunity to discover and experience traditional methods of producing cheese, balsamic vinegar, prosciutto and tortellini. The tastings and restaurant meals were fantastic! A tour highlight! The positive, friendly environment you create on your small group tours makes the experience so enjoyable.

Flavours of Bologna & Tuscany

Thank you for squeezing me in at the last minute. Le Marche was a place on my bucket-list, and I was not disappointed. I was extremely impressed with the content of the tour. Our guides were very knowledgeable, patient and welcoming. It was a region I knew little about but Viny made it an unforgettable experience for me. The food served in the many restaurants on our journey was delicious and very traditional. The pace was perfect. You conveyed a passion for this region and I am now a convert.
