Personalized trips to Italy
for independent travelers

Neoclassical palazzo located right off Via Vittorio Emmanuelle, near the Duomo di Palermo, Palazzo Reale and Quattro Canti.

The hotel is located inside the archaeological park and has stunning views of the Greek temples. It has an elegant 1950 vibe. I expected to see Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren in the lobby! Restaurant staff wear white tuxedos and bow ties for breakfast and lunch. They change into dark suits for dinner. Grounds are immaculate. Ready access to the park.

Pristine hotel located right next to piazza and the Duomo San Lucia. Excellent restaurant.

This was the most unique hotel we stayed in. The hotel is also an art gallery!

Pristine, chic, with stunning views of the sea and cliffs. Breakfast/lunch room staff Marija and Ettore were excellent. Front desk staff Annalisa and Francesco were very helpful in setting up dinner reservations.

All the front desk, restaurant, and housekeeping staff were very helpful. The hotel is well-positioned in the historic center of Palermo. The hotel is elegant and clean. We would definitely stay there again.

The hotel was very nice and a good location.

This hotel was the most modern and spacious of the rooms that we stayed in. It was across from the train station which was very convenient. It was walkable to the main attractions and there were lots of places to eat nearby.

Very nice hotel, loved the old world charm - there were a lot of steps! It was a great location, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was delicious and we would definitely go back.

Pompeii was incredible and our guide was great.

There are no words to describe how incredible the Vatican tour is. Our guide was fantastic. The only downside was that we did not get to tour the Basilica because the Pope wanted to use it.

The Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour was amazing!! Our tour guide was great and full of information.

Our guide was great and very knowledgeable, but definitely above our level. I enjoyed the David, but felt like it was too rushed, there was a lot more that I would have liked to see in the gallery besides the David. The outside of the Duomo was beautiful and the dome was amazing, but I don't think we needed to go inside.

This is Italy! When I see pictures of Italy this is what I think of - a gorgeous afternoon in the Tuscan sun drinking wines. By far my favorite day! The tour and guides were great, the wineries were amazing, the wines were refreshing and the lunch was delectable.

This was a great experience. Federico was a great teacher and the sauces he made were delicious!! I definitely recommend it.

This tour was amazing! The Basilica and Doge's Palace were gorgeous. Our tour guide was great - he was knowledgeable and funny.

Our tour was great! The food was delicious and our guide was friendly and knowledgable.

Sara was an excellent guide and was really good at ensuring we were at the Forum early (which wasn't quite as busy) and the Colisseum afterward. She was also really good at checking in with us regarding taking photos, resting, getting drinks, and keeping us on time. It's all amazing but more than you can see in the tour. We are putting the Forum back on our list for the next visit.

Due to some changes, we did the Basilica on our own and then the Vatican and Sistine Chapel with a guide. Roberta was knowledgable and really enthusiastic about everything. She was really good at explaining what we were going to see before we saw it and helping us understand historical themes. Basilica was amazing. We went to a small mass during our visit. The art is incredible. Just an amazing building.

I loved that we ate things that were not the normal things you have everywhere. My favorite was the cheese, meat, bruschetta at the first restaurant. All of the food was excellent and Marta was great at explaining everything and ensuring we were all organized and enjoying ourselves.

Giulia was our instructor and was so good at giving us information about buying the ingredients, the cooking techniques, etc. We also loved the family we shared the experience with. So much fun. One of my favorite things.

Claudius was our driver and was so fun and engaging. I loved that he pointed out things on the drive. The tour guides at each location were informative and we appreciated learning more about Chianti Classico wine. San Gimignano was incredible and we liked the loose schedule - we could walk around at our leisure.

Our guide was educated in historical architecture and gave us such a good understanding of the place and importance of the different areas.
