The Italy Trip You’ll Talk About for Years
Venice to Capri — Personally Escorted by Shawnda
Some trips fade into photo albums.
Others become stories you tell for the rest of your life.
This upcoming Italy: Venice to Capri tour is very much the second kind.
Every year, I personally escort private tours that my clients still talk about years later—over dinner, with friends, and whenever travel dreams come up. These aren’t cookie-cutter itineraries. They’re thoughtfully designed journeys where everything flows seamlessly, experiences feel authentic, and travelers are fully present instead of worrying about logistics.
This Italy tour?
It’s one of those trips.
Why This Italy Tour Is Truly Different
Italy is one of those destinations everyone dreams about—but few experience at this level.
This is a private, personally escorted tour, led from start to finish by Shawnda McAlester, your dedicated travel professional and on-the-ground advocate every step of the way. Every detail is handled, every transition smoothed, every experience elevated.
That means:
No navigating train stations alone
No wondering if you’re “missing the good stuff”
No stress about timing, tickets, or logistics
Just Italy at its very best, experienced deeply, confidently, and joyfully.
The Must-See Italy—Experienced Firsthand

Glide through the canals, explore historic piazzas, and experience the magic of a city unlike anywhere else in the world.
✨ Florence & Tuscany
Renaissance masterpieces, breathtaking architecture, rolling Tuscan landscapes, and time to savor Italy’s art, culture, and cuisine exactly where it was born.
✨ Rome
Walk through thousands of years of history—ancient ruins, grand basilicas, and unforgettable moments in the Eternal City, brought to life by expert local guides.

An unforgettable finale—dramatic coastlines, crystal-clear waters, and pure Italian glamour.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy local guides who know these places intimately, exclusive experiences you simply don’t get traveling independently, and carefully selected accommodations that enhance—not distract from—the experience.
Why Travelers Talk About These Trips for Years
What makes a trip unforgettable isn’t just where you go—it’s how it feels while you’re there.
On a personally escorted tour like this:
You feel confident instead of overwhelmed
You experience more because someone else handles the details
You connect more deeply with the destination—and the people you’re traveling with
These are the trips where travelers come home saying:
“That was the best trip I’ve ever taken.”
And they mean it.
A Gentle (But Important) Reality Check
This tour is private and space is limited.
We currently have 20 seats remaining.
The travelers who will be on this journey understand something important:
The best Italy experiences don’t wait for last-minute decisions.
They plan early.
They commit early.
And they get rewarded with a truly extraordinary experience.
Is This Your Italy Moment?
If Italy has always been on your list…
If you want to experience it once, beautifully and completely…
If you love the idea of traveling with expert guidance and zero stress…
This may be the trip you’ll still be talking about years from now.
And I would love for you to be part of it.
