The Art of Northern Italy

With your private guide, set out to discover the city’s dual soul—where medieval grandeur collides with sleek modernity.

You’ll begin at the mighty Sforza Castle, once a ducal fortress and now a cultural landmark that has hosted the brushstrokes of Leonardo da Vinci himself. Wander through the bustling Piazza del Duomo, where the majestic Gothic Cathedral dominates the skyline in a symphony of spires and stained glass. Nearby, the Royal Palace stands in elegant contrast, hinting at the city’s regal past.

Your private tour ends with a visit to the UNESCO-listed Santa Maria delle Grazie, home to da Vinci’s Last Supper—a transcendent fresco that has captivated art lovers for centuries. After this artistic deep dive, spend your evening savoring Milanese culinary delights or exploring the designer boutiques that have made this city a global fashion capital.

Your exploration begins in the town of Como, where a private guide leads you through medieval alleyways and into the stunning Cathedral, a fusion of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Along the way, enjoy tastings of local delicacies that capture the flavors of the region.

The next day, embark on a private motorboat tour across the shimmering lake. Glide past elegant villas and manicured gardens en route to Bellagio, the jewel of the lake. Visit the historic Villa Carlotta, then stop at Isola Comacina—a small, picturesque island offering panoramic views and centuries-old charm. Here, stroll quiet stone paths and uncover stories etched into the walls of its ancient village.

Whether wandering cobblestone streets, sipping espresso in a lakeside piazza, or simply soaking in the Alpine scenery, your time on Lake Como is nothing short of cinematic.

Today, experience the island by sea on an exclusive private yacht tour around Capri. Cruise past towering cliffs and sea caves, including the world-famous Blue Grotto, and marvel at the Faraglioni rock formations as you sip prosecco under the sun. Swim in the emerald bays of Marina Piccola and anchor in secluded coves only accessible by boat.

Back on land, take a guided walk through Anacapri, visit the Villa San Michele for panoramic views, or ride the chairlift to Monte Solaro for sweeping vistas. In the evenings, indulge in fine dining at elegant piazza-side restaurants where Capri’s glamour comes to life.

With your expert guide, begin in St. Mark’s Square, the pulsating heart of Venetian life for over a thousand years. Explore the iconic Basilica of Saint Mark, adorned with glittering mosaics and the dazzling Pala d’Oro. Then step inside the ornate chambers of the Doge’s Palace, once the seat of the Venetian Republic, and cross the haunting Bridge of Sighs to the old prisons.

In the evening, experience Venice from the water with a private gondola ride through the city’s hidden canals. As you glide past lantern-lit palazzi and under arched footbridges, you’ll glimpse the soul of Venice as only a few do—silent, reflective, and timeless.

Round out your Venetian stay with a full-day private excursion to the islands of Murano and Burano. In Murano, witness master artisans shape molten glass into dazzling works of art using centuries-old techniques. Then continue to Burano, where color-splashed homes line quiet canals, and tradition lingers in the air like a lullaby. Discover its lace-making legacy and soak in the serene charm of this idyllic fishing village.
