For over 20 years, sharing the beauty and wonder of Italy with hundreds of people has been one of the absolute highlights of my life.

As a lover of all things Italian and especially of Italian art, I was struck when people used to tell me that they loved Florence and Venice but, to them, Rome was just a big, noisy city.  Rome is, of course, one of the most amazing places on earth, and I realized that there was a need to put everything into perspective for people.  That was when “Perspective Tours, LLC” was born, and my first tour, “Italy in Perspective: Italian Art and Architecture through the Ages” was conceived. 

Since then, I’ve added “Italy’s Mezzogiorno, Land of the Midday Sun: A Tour of Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast”, and “Treasures of Trinacria: Art, Archeology, and Culture of Sicily”.  I’m currently working on a tour of Northern Italy, to be introduced within the next year or two.

My tours are for lovers of art and culture.  My clients return with a deeper appreciation for art, and a broader understanding of the cultures that produced that art.  And they usually can’t wait to go on one of my other tours!

And did I mention that we always have a great time?  Our groups are small, 16-20 people, our accommodations are wonderful and always centrally located and convenient to everything.

To explore Perspective Tours’ offerings, click on the tour you’re interested in below.  If the itinerary looks great to you but you’re wondering if you’ll have the energy to do everything, don’t worry.  You can take a morning or two off and meet up with the group later or you can leave early and have a relaxed afternoon to yourself.  You will always have a detailed schedule so you’ll know where to find us if you need to!

So explore.  Don’t miss this opportunity to make Italy of today and yesterday a part of your life!
