Travelers' reviews about Italy

We landed in Rome and were picked up by a private van. We were dropped off at our hotel, and from there, we walked everywhere to tour the city, except when we did our night tour of Rome. We took a taxi to the Vatican, which our hotel helped to arrange, and we got a taxi to come back, which we were able to find ourselves very easily. We then left for Florence, where we picked up our rental car and drove straight through to Siena. Once we arrived in Siena, and got situated, we walked in to the city center everyday. It was rich full of history and culture. We loved the city center tremendously. We also drove to Montalcino and toured a vineyard, which was lovely, and we found a delicious restaurant and lots of fun things to do there. After five nights there, we drove back to Florence and returned the rental car. We stayed there one night and toured the city. We headed to Venice the next day and stayed for three days there, where we explored and had a magical time.

We were in Venice, Florence and Rome. Each of had been many times before. So the new cities were the most impressive. Lucca and Ostia Antica and Montepulciano. Andrea and one of the guides recommended an excellent restaurant in Lucca, *** in the basement of a castle. The food and atmosphere unexpected. Also in Lucca we managed to get tickets for a Puccini concert which was magnificent. A true highlight. Ostia Antica unbelievable. Mariapaola, our guide, had so much enthusiasm. Also true of our Forum and Colesseum guide, Dimo. He was thrilled we were so interested in the history and archeology of the sites. His passion was infectious.

We had decided on Italy as it was a place my husband and I both had never been. The Italian coast was amazing. The excursions we had were beautiful. Each day was filled with new and exciting adventure and it was all planned out for us and organized very well! The food was amazing.

Florence was very busy. We would not do the food tour again on the first day as much of what we did was repeated later. We did choose this but a Hop On Hop Off bus may have been a better choice. We liked our day trips out. Our guide to Sienna was particularly good at looking after seniors. We liked the private pickups from Pisa to Florence and from Florence back to Pisa.

Italy, was fantastic, the sights were iconic and the food excellent.

My husband and I were trying to plan a romantic honeymoon in Italy, I was very happy with the speedy communication and itinerary the company was offering. We booked with our specialized tour guide Enrico. He was so helpful with all of our requests of sights to see and where to stay. All hotels were central to shopping, piazza's and restaurants. He tailored our very own private Italian tour and it was a trip my husband and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Enrico for your time and patience and help creating something that was so memorable and special. We began our tour in Rome: Our walking guided tour guide Ilaria was so knowledgeable about Rome and its history. It was a small group making it more Intimate. Our Coliseum tour guide Alejandro from ***** was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Later in the afternoon we had an opportunity to visit the Sistine Chapel. Our guide Simon from ******* made it fun and engaging. Enrico arranged all transportation from each city. The train system in Italy was very straight forward and comfortable. We took a direct train from Rome to Florence where our gem of a guide Demetra took us on a fun tour of Florence. It truly was a beautiful experience. The bridges, and art were breathtaking. Tourist tip: We climbed to the top of Piazzale Michelangelo where there were stunning views of the city and Arno river. Next stop: Verona. The birth place of Romeo and Juliet. Verona was also a very romantic city. The quaint streets, friendly people and the feeling of love in the entire city was an amazing experience. A trip to Verona would not be complete without visiting the famous Juliet's Balcony (Casa di Giulietta). Tip: Shopping in Italy is fantastic, we stopped off at a store called Unieuro in downtown Verona where we got a great price for a small carry on bag. Our guide Irene was so passionate about Verona and its rich history. We had a private tour where she took us to every special nook of Verona. It was a pleasure meeting her. Our last stop: Venice. We were picked up by water taxi from the train station and got dropped to our hotel. It was a fun time! We had another private tour with our guide Luigina. Venice was a beautiful city surrounded by water. Great food and very central to all major historic landmarks. Having ****** plan our trip made it all so easy and stress-free. I highly recommend the company to anyone planning an Italian Getaway. Thank you Enrico for all your assistance and a beautiful honeymoon.

We did a 14 day tour by car starting from Palermo and ending in Catania.Favourite places were Palermo, Ortygia, Segesta and Taormina/Mount Etna. Best activities were walking tour in Palermo, a puppet show in Ortygia and the excursion to Mount Etna

It was our first time to Italy. Rome was not what we expected, it’s dirty and full of graffiti. As above, driving through Naples isn’t a tour. Pompeii is very interesting, enjoyed the city. Again, not so much the tour or the guide. We loved Venice. It’s a beautiful city. We will go back to Venice some day.

While we enjoyed everything about Italy, the opportunity to invite our two adult children to accompany us for a week so they too could get a glimpse of their heritage and see where their grandparents and great grandparents lived was priceless. For us the most satisfying part of our trip. All the while, Enrico stayed in touch by email to see how things were going and to get us lined up for the coming day's events. Well done, Enrico!

Three weeks in Italy. Carpineto Romano, Venice, Florence and Tuscany, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Rome. Wonderful!

We arrived to Rome in the morning and we started to know this beautiful city, for three days we enjoyed the monuments, paintings and sculptures. We loved the fountains, coliseum and the pantheon. Then we take the train to Venice we’re enjoy the water taxi and the gondola. Was really beautiful the food and the people was great. After 2 days we take the train to Florence ( my favorite city) everyday something amazing 😉 the food, the little towns, the people and the views was stopped breathing! We have the life time trip 😊 and we planning the next. Thank you so much to Enrico, he make this trip unforgettable.

We had a great honeymoon. Arrived in Rome, went to Florence, went to Venice, ended in Milan. All in all it was a once in a lifetime trip for us.

Everything was well arranged and all services on time. We thank Enrico and his team for their efforts.

We wove our way down from Milan down to the bay of Naples, visiting lots of small towns along the way.

Hotel was great
