Tailor-Made Trips to Northern Italy

What a spectacular location! The water taxi was able to drop us at the front entrance and the staff went above and beyond during our stay.

We enjoyed the staff and the young lady who made us eggs and pancakes on different days in the breakfast room.

The hotel staff was very accommodating when we arrived early morning. They took and held our bags and we were able to tour parts of Rome while our room was prepared.

Hillaria was on time and very knowledgeable. The amount of food was just right and the variety was amazing.

Having Bogden as our first tour guide set a high bar for our experiences. He was ready and organized and kept our attention through a long day in Rome. His dry humor and extensive knowledge made the tour a pleasure.

While this hotel was in a good location, right in the city center, it was also very loud. Our room was beautiful with three balconies overlooking the street, however they were most unusable because passers-by could look right into the room. It was also a little difficult to find the hotel. The taxi cannot take you right to the door because its on a pedestrian street and there is only a small sign to the left of the main door indicating that it is a hotel.

This hotel is in a good location, easily walkable to the city center. We had a beautiful room overlooking a courtyard. There were many choices for breakfast and there is a rooftop patio with beautiful views to enjoy your breakfast or a cocktail in the evening.

This hotel was centrally located and an easy walk to the Vatican. The staff was very friendly and helpful and there were many breakfast choices.

The meeting point for this tour was very busy and a little hard to find our operator. Once we reached the boat everything was seamless and our boat crew was excellent!

This is a busy excursion. You cover a lot of territory throughout the day but the guide is very knowledgable and moved at a slow pace so that all could keep up.

Amazing experience. So much food and drink and information about the city of Florence.

A little hard to find the meeting point. Guide was very knowledgeable but a little too much like a college lecture.

Massimo was amazing! Seeing the Vatican on a tour is imperative to save time.

Highly recommend this activity.

Fun decor, helpful hotel staff. They reached out to us ahead of time to take care of checkin requirements and give us checkin instructions in case we arrived after hours. I appreciated the extra effort to make sure checkin was smooth.

Hotel was in a great location. Easy to get to with luggage, which is not common in Cinque Terre. Host was awesome…super friendly and helpful.

Room was nice and large for the three of us. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Host was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and had fun decor. Breakfast was good.

This is a beautiful way to Cinque Terre and learn about the towns and the region. The captain was friendly and informative.

Another of our favorite activities during our trip. The hosts were fantastic…a true Italian family. They were super friendly and so much fun! The pesto was fantastic. The lunch after was probably one of our best meals in Italy. The view was beautiful,

Easy to use and made getting around Cinque Terre easy and flexible.

Probably one of our favorite experiences on our trip. Super informative and tons of fun watching the dog find the truffles! The lunch and wine pairing after was fantastic. We’re not big wine people but it was interesting to learn about the different wines and pairings. The food was fantastic. The winery itself is beautiful and welcoming!

Driver was on time, professional and easy to communicate with and coordinate pickups.

We enjoyed the pasta making class and love that they sent us home with recipes. It was a little larger group than our other experiences…really the only reason it only got 4 stars.

This is a great way to see and learn about Rome, especially if you only have a couple of days in Rome. Even if you have more time, it’s a great intro to Rome. The driver/guide was great. He even gave us recommendations for the rest of our time in Rome, from pizza to gelato to other tours.

The tour was awesome. Guide was great…informative and humorous.
