Who couldn’t love getting lost in Rome? Wandering down vine strewn cobblestoned streets with hanging laundry and locals chattering away in fast Italian is one of my favorite memories. But, the charm of getting lost can quickly turn to frustration when you’re trying to find the Trevi Fountain but didn’t think to follow the crowds. What to do to avoid this frustration? Get a tour guide.
There are tons of tour guide options in Italy. Some are good, some bad, and some speak in such broken English that it’s impossible to tell whether they’re talking about salad or an Emperor. On the other hand, some are great. The guides at Perillo Tours are undoubtedly in this category, effortlessly navigating the twisted Roman streets and history with a panache that is unmistakably Italian (and in perfect English!). Over the past three generations, the Perillo family has been perfecting the art of guiding tours through Italy and establishing Perillo Tours as the leading American tour guide operator in Italy in the process.
In honor of its 70th anniversary, Perillo Tours is offering an early booking discount on any of its 2015 escorted tours to Italy, including the ever popular 9-day Rome and Amalfi Coast Tour saving a couple $250. Which means there’s no better time than the present to put these tour guides to the test (trust us, you won’t be disappointed).
From the minute you’re off the plane, your Perillo tour guide will be right by your side to ensure you get the most out of your time in Italy. They’ll help you find the best restaurants to get a taste of authentic Italian cuisine and the best hotels to get a taste of Italian luxury. Their specialty is making sure you get a true Italian experience. Whether sipping Limoncello overlooking the Mediterranean or staying in a converted 12th century convent, you’ve never seen Italy like this.
While the folks at Perillo Tours plan out a full itinerary for you, they understand the allure of just wandering around Rome. So, they include plenty of free time in the schedule so you can savor the moment of angst when you find yourself hopelessly lost among the winding streets and alleys of Trastevere.
