For travelers who want something more personal, more refined, and more customized than a traditional group tour, DeSerio Tours now offers Private Custom Europe Tours  designed directly around your interests, travel style, schedule, preferred level of luxury, and dream destinations.

Whether you are planning a romantic Italy escape, a family celebration, a milestone anniversary, a retirement trip, a luxury culinary journey, a private friends’ getaway, or a multi-country European adventure, DeSerio Tours can work with you directly to design, plan, reserve, organize, and even fully guide your private tour.

These private tours are created for travelers who want the beauty and depth of Europe without the stress, guesswork, or time-consuming logistics of planning everything themselves.

Instead of joining a pre-set public tour, you begin with a conversation. From there, Adam and DeSerio Tours help shape your trip around what matters most to you: beautiful hotels, excellent restaurants, private drivers, villa stays, cooking classes, wine tastings, art, history, scenic coastlines, luxury shopping, cultural discovery, food experiences, photography, boats, beaches, countryside, and unforgettable local moments.

A Private DeSerio Tour can be as relaxed or as active as you want. It can be fully guided by Adam, partially guided, or designed as a custom itinerary with reservations, recommendations, and logistics support.

This is European travel made personal, seamless, elevated, and deeply memorable.

Private DeSerio Tours are custom-built travel experiences for individuals, couples, families, friends, and small groups who want a more exclusive way to explore Europe.

  • How long you want to travel
  • Your preferred travel pace
  • Your hotel and villa style
  • Your food, wine, and activity interests
  • Your budget and desired luxury level
  • Your group size
  • Whether you want Adam to personally guide the trip
  • Whether you want full planning or selective planning support

DeSerio Tours can help with everything from the big-picture design to the detailed day-by-day itinerary, including hotel recommendations, restaurant reservations, private transportation, activity booking, local experiences, and destination guidance.

For select private tours, Adam may also travel with your group as your private host and guide, helping lead the experience in person from beginning to end.
