We offer exceptional in-depth one day and multiday programs in Italy.

Italy is not just a mere destination for CTS, it is where, like Rome itself, life began for our company and from where our expansion into other countries started. It was, and still is, at the heart of everything we do.

AT CTS we have offices and staff that cover all of Italy making sure clients get the best services at the best prices. This is the easy part. However, everything starts with producing amazing programs that create the “wow factor” for guests and allows for real personal discovery of this amazing country. While it is easy to book basic services in most places in Italy, it is something else entirely to present and share the passion, the culture, and the right experiences that bring Italy to life to make a simple holiday into a lifetime adventure.

Our guests to Italy are travelers and not tourists. We throw back the curtains on this scintillating ancient land, making sure that clients come back again and again.

Italy is led by Italian Cultural Specialist Joseph Walker

Joseph has more than 30 years of experience in Italian tourism and is considered a pioneer of the travel industry for his work in creating new tours and opening new destinations in Italy for international travelers.

Joseph is the creative energy behind Chameleon Travel Shop and creates many of the exclusive packages and one-day experiences offered by the company.

Over the years, Joseph started his tourism career in Italy and became known as the “guide to the stars” as he guided major Hollywood actors, famous musicians, top politicians, and NBA super stars across the land.

They all asked for Joseph to help make sure that their trip to Italy was different, unique, and to help guide them to have the best vacation experience. Joseph’s knowledge has also been showcased in his role as an Italian Cultural and Historical advisor for various documentaries that appeared on channels such as the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, the BBC, and AFN Europe.

Italy is not therefor just a destination for Joseph, it’s a way of life brilliantly shared to guests that travel with CTS.
