Yes, private tours are a significant portion of what we compare. Roughly 32% of the options (18 listings) are tagged as private tours. This is an unusually high share for this type of itinerary, giving travellers who prefer a personalised pace or small group plenty of choices beyond standard group departures.

We see tours offered in 8 different languages: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, and Japanese. This multilingual availability ensures that non-Italian speakers have strong access to guided commentary.

About half of the tours also offer hotel pickup and drop-off, while audio guides are less common, appearing in about 11% of listings.

Transport is a major component of these itineraries. The most common method is by bus (47% of options), followed by car (19%) and minivan (16%). Walking accounts for only 12% of the transport mode, likely because walking covers the local exploration within the sites rather than the inter-city travel.

While only 2% of options (1 listing) are flagged as likely to sell out, the demand suggests popular slots fill quickly. On the flexibility side, 70% of the options (40 listings) offer free cancellation, making it easy to secure a spot with a safety net.
