Tour Options Group Or Private All of our "Group" tours are actually "Privilege" tours, which seek to give you the highest quality tour experience while sharing your tour with others. All of these tours have a maximum of 12 spaces, so you can always be in close contact with your guide and optimize your ability to follow along. Once you have reserved a space on a group tour, you can be assured your tour will run, since our tours have no "minimum quota" as is often the case with other tour companies. Because we guarantee such an intimate size to our tours, headsets are not necessary. However, depending on time of year and the site visited they will be provided only if their use will improve the quality of the tour. Booking our Private "Exclusive" tour assures you the greatest amount of flexibility for your unique travel schedule. You will have one of Walks of Italy's esteemed guides all to yourself to ensure a deeper exploration of the site with a fuller appreciation of your individual interests. The tour will consist of only those in your party, and is then customized to your timing and sightseeing needs. Additionally, it gives you the opportunity to take advantage of Walks of Italy's one-of-a-kind "tour enhancements", taking you off the beaten path, away from crowds and allowing you to dig deeper on your personalized journey of discovery.
