The role of the Tour Manager is to provide a memorable and safe Italian vacation to our guests. Tour managers provide regional specific commentary and are available at all times to make sure guests feel comfortable at each destination. Tour Managers travel with guests throughout the entire tour itinerary.
Tour Managers are on site at each hotel, accompany guests on all included activities, and coordinate the departures of optional activities. Prior to arriving at a new destination, the Tour Director provides information about the local community and details the activities planned for that particular day.
Throughout the tour, the Tour Manager outlines all activities, schedules optional excursions, keeps an accurate count of the luggage and handles any other situation that might arise.
Travel Weekly reporter David Cogswell wrote: Portrait of a tour director as the main man. "The tour director is the host of the party, a wild sleepover in a moving setting. He is the facilitator of the movement; the solver of problems; the maker of arrangements; a sympathetic ear to the frustrated; a protector of the vulnerable, and a helping hand to the faltering. He must be a little bit teacher, a bit of an entertainer and certainly a leader."
