What our Travelers Say About Us
As a solo traveler, I was looking for a mix of adventure and guidance, and Hamilton & Chase delivered. The day trip to Sintra was a highlight—the palaces and gardens were like something out of a dream. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, like having restaurant recommendations that matched my preferences and a flexible schedule that allowed me to explore Madeira at my own pace. It felt less like a group tour and more like traveling with a well-connected friend. Highly recommend!

Portugal Travel Tips by H&C
Before you visit Portugal
-
Check Travel Documents: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. No visa is required for U.S. citizens staying under 90 days.
-
Pack Strategically: Bring comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and light layers for changing weather. Don’t forget a power adapter for Type F plugs.
-
Learn Basic Phrases: While many Portuguese people speak English, learning simple words like “obrigado/a” (thank you) and “por favor” (please) will be appreciated.
-
Book in Advance: Popular attractions like Jeronimos Monastery or Livraria Lello in Porto can have long lines—reserve tickets ahead of time.
-
Understand Tipping: Tipping isn’t mandatory in Portugal, but rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% for excellent service is customary.
-
Prepare for Currency: Portugal uses the Euro. Have some cash for small purchases, though credit cards are widely accepted.

Discover Italy with Hamilton & Chase Tours
Experience La Dolce Vita — The True Italian Way
Travel to Italy and embrace la vita all’Italiana — a lifestyle where art, flavor, and history blend effortlessly. From the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence to the timeless romance of Venice, every corner of Italy invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and discover a country that has inspired generations of travelers.
At Hamilton & Chase Tours, we design Italy itineraries that go beyond sightseeing. Our journeys are crafted for curious travelers who want to immerse themselves in Italian culture, taste authentic regional cuisine, and explore world-famous landmarks alongside hidden gems known only to locals.
Why Visit Italy
Set in the heart of Southern Europe, Italy borders France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia — yet it stands apart with its unmistakable identity. The country’s “boot” shape reaches into the Mediterranean, surrounded by islands like Sicily, Sardinia, Ischia, and Capri.
Italy holds more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other nation, from the ancient ruins of Pompeii to the grandeur of the Roman Colosseum and the architectural brilliance of Florence’s Duomo. Every city tells its own story, every village its own rhythm.
Whether it’s the rolling vineyards of Tuscany, the dramatic Amalfi Coast, or the alpine beauty of the Dolomites, a Hamilton & Chase private Italy tour offers an in-depth look at this remarkable destination — one that excites the senses and feeds the soul.
A Culinary Journey Through Italy
Italian cuisine is more than just food — it’s an art form and a national obsession. Each region has its own specialties, shaped by centuries of tradition. Enjoy handmade pasta in Bologna, freshly baked Neapolitan pizza in its birthplace, and creamy gelato from a family-run shop in Florence.
With Hamilton & Chase Tours, you’ll dine in trattorias that locals love, sample wines from boutique vineyards, and experience meals that are as memorable as the landscapes around you.
Plan Your Italian Journey
Whether you’re dreaming of an indulgent culinary escape, a historical adventure through ancient cities, or a scenic journey across Italy’s most picturesque landscapes, Hamilton & Chase Tours can tailor your itinerary to match your interests, pace, and style.
Discover Italy the way it’s meant to be experienced — with expertise, comfort, and genuine local insight.
The Story of Italy — From Empire to Renaissance
Italy’s layered history is part of what makes it so captivating. Once the center of the Roman Empire, it later became the cradle of the Renaissance — an age that redefined art, science, and human thought.
Travelers can still feel that legacy today when they stand before Michelangelo’s David, gaze at Da Vinci’s Last Supper, or step into the shadow of Rome’s Colosseum.
Italy’s modern story began in the 19th century with the Risorgimento, the movement that unified the country. Since then, Italy has evolved into a democratic republic — proud of its traditions but always forward-looking.
Italy’s Natural Beauty
From the snow-covered Alps to the sun-drenched beaches of Sicily, Italy offers some of Europe’s most varied landscapes. Discover the tranquil charm of Lake Como, the emerald waters of the Amalfi Coast, or the rustic countryside of Tuscany.
Venture to the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, relax in the thermal springs of Saturnia, or explore the glowing Blue Grotto on Capri — natural wonders that make every journey through Italy unforgettable.
With Hamilton & Chase Tours, you can experience Italy’s nature your way — whether that’s a leisurely private drive through olive groves or a guided boat excursion along the coast.
Italian Culture — Passion, Art, and Family
Italian culture thrives on passion — for beauty, for family, and for life itself. This is a country where mealtimes are sacred, style is second nature, and art flows through every generation.
From the Renaissance brilliance of Florence to the high fashion houses of Milan and the operatic traditions of Verona, Italy continues to lead the world in creativity and design.
Faith remains deeply woven into daily life, with Vatican City standing as both a spiritual and cultural symbol of Italy’s influence.
When you travel to Italy with Hamilton & Chase Tours, you’ll do more than visit — you’ll experience the Italian way of living: vibrant, joyful, and unforgettable.
