Hi Patty,

Thanks for the question. It's actually fun researching questions like
this since I can fantasize just a bit about making such a trip myself.

After some research on the web, and a few phone calls, I think I've
got just the thing for you.

I went to:

Auto Europe
http://www.autoeurope.com/
1-888-223-5555

on the web. This company specializes in booking trips to Europe that
involve luxury car rentals, motor homes, and chauffeur drives. I gave
them a call and talked to Shasha who was very knowledgeable and
helpful. The work frequently with an Italian company which can provide
a driver out of Milan. He will be able to speak English and Italian,
but will likely not be able to speak German, Polish, or other
languages on your tour. He can also provide guided tour information
for your Italian cities, but again will probably have limited
knowledge of Vienna or Warsaw. However, if you have a set itinerary,
you may not need a driver knowledgeable in these areas.

I was quoted a price range of $600 to $1,000 a day based on the exact
car selected, and other details. For this price, you get a car and
driver at your disposal for the chosen number of days. Please call the
number above and talk to a representative for more information.

After calling several such companies, I think this is your best bet.
There are not a lot of large, reputable companies focusing on this
segment, as I discover! So I won't go into a lot of detail on my
less-satisfactory contacts. However, below are some other options for
you to consider should this choice not be acceptable.

However, I'm certainly still available to conduct additional research
on this question should you need it. So feel free to ask for an answer
clarification, and I'll be more than happy to go back to work. Thanks
for the question!

list of relevant services.
