Small Group Italy Tour: Possible?

The simple answer: yes, but be careful. We found QueensLander Tours (yes, a very Aussie sounding American company based out of Denver) to provide what we'd consider a world-class Italy tour experience. 16 passengers or less guaranteed. Lots of walking - the only way to see Italy, deluxe hotels right where you'd want 'em, and the best cuisine experiences you can find. 

Off the beaten path is how I'd describe QueensLander's Italy Tour experience. The restaurants were truly little, quaint holes in the wall...but located in the most unique places with the most exotic and delectable menu items. The real Roma Tomato comes to live on this tour. We did their Italy's Great Cities Tour that visited Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome.

In Tuscany, we had a wonderful experience at a little placed called Villa Dievole. A tour of their winery facilities with heavy appetizers and delicious wine pairings that flowed! 

I'd recommend it. Visit them online at www.QueensLanderTours.com and I believe their Italy page is found here: http://www.queenslandertours.com/qtt/italy.htm 

Buon Fortuna until next time.
