Perillo Tours Team
You're probably aware of the tremendous name Perillo Tours has enjoyed in Italy for the past 65 years. Well Perillo's team in Rome, and their tour guides throughout Italy, are behind this great new product. So you won't be travelling with novices! Perillo Tours has served well over 1,000,000 guests to Italy in the past 65 years.
Great Hotels
We believe First Class, centrally located hotels, are essential to the enjoyment of an Italy vacation. So while this tour represents the best value on the market, we DID NOT skimp on the quality, nor the location of our hotels.
First Class Train Travel
In Italy, the most enjoyable way to travel from city-to-city is via First Class train - it's quick, easy and cost effective. We'll book your passage and your Host will personally escort you to the train station to see you off. You'll be met by your new host in the next city right on the train platform. Then, you'll be accompanied for check-in at your next hotel.
