“I know Caitlin already told you that we had a wonderful trip and thanked you for all your help, but I wanted to write myself and second it. The hotels were great – location, accommodations, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and breakfasts. The guides were just what we needed. We enjoyed our private tours, and the small group tours were so small that they felt like private tours. We will recommend you highly to any friends who are considering a trip to Italy. Every time we saw people getting off a tour bus or 50 people following a guide holding a giant flower, we were so glad that we decided to forego Trafalgar and go with Ecoitalia! Hopefully we’ll be able to do another trip through you in the future.”

“Dear Carlo– Our family trip was a huge success. Thank you for your careful planning. We loved the little buses, and the drivers were very accommodating and friendly. I was happy with the hotels, and our guides were excellent. (especially Fernanda in Florence and Thomas in Rome.) My grandchildren had an especially great time in Cinque Terre jumping into the sea from the cliffs. It was certainly a trip we will all never forget. Thank you again, and best regards from all eleven of us. Nancy”

“Carlo, your tour was fabulous! My wife and I, who recently married, decided to go to Italy for our honeymoon. My wife’s associate recommended your services and I am so glad we followed up. Your people were waiting for us as planned in Venice and the group tour provided us with so much of the city’s history. Our favorite was Florence where we had a walking tour with Tonya who had an extensive knowledge of art history. Wine tasting through the Chianti region and the hills of Tuscany with Daniel was the absolute highlight of our trip. He is welcome at our house anytime he visits the states. Our train bookings through the countryside were beautiful, and our hotel accommodations were very comfortable. Margharita was a perfect hostess as we drove all over Rome exploring all of the art and treasures. Well done! When we return, Donna and I will be looking for your help again as there is no other way to travel abroad without this personal approach.”

“Just returned from our trip to Italy. Can’t say enough about the reliability of the people you lined up for our transfers and the quality of our tour guides. We were charmed and learned immensely from “Antonio” in Florence and now have a love for Florence we never had before. He’s so proud of his City! We loved him. We also are still finding it hard to believe we got “Nando”, with his impeccable credentials and experience and heritage at the Roman forum…what a treat.  Thank you so much for each and every detail along the way. No surprises, no mix-ups. We will recommend your company to all (and have) Thanks again.”

“Carlo,

We’re back from the most marvelous trip to Italy. You really arranged a great trip for us. Everyone was on time at all of our stops and the guides were very knowledgeable. I wanted to especially rave about our guide in Rome. His name is Nando and is a retired professor. His connection was through a woman named Pricilla. This man of 80 years knew so much and shared his knowledge freely with us. We could have spent a week with him. It was like taking a college course in religious art and ancient Roman history. Our favorite was the hotel in Sorrento. The balcony was amazing. We loved the view from our hotel in Cinque Terre as well. The sumptuous Venetian hotel was a wonderful surprise too. We will be telling our friends about your services when they inquire about their own trip to Italy.

Thank you again for a near perfect trip.”

“Carlo,

Our “second honeymoon” for our 25th anniversary was everything we ever dreamed of and more. The itinerary you assembled for us was just the cross section of Italy’s flavor that we had hoped to experience. My husband couldn’t believe he saw the works of art he had only read about. The guides in Rome were exceptionally good. All our hotels were fabulous especially the villa in Siena. It was a great break from the hustle and bustle of the cities to retreat there. We had a scrumptious meal every night. We also got to see a practice run of the Palio on the morning of July 2nd. In Florence, our walking tour guide was able to coordinate reservations for a table at the Rivoir in the piazza by the Uffizzi….

We cannot thank you enough and will be sure to recommend you to everyone we know. We passed your contact info to all the guides and to many travelers we met.

Grazi!!”

“Carlo ,

On behalf of Myself, Barbara, Seth and Rebecca, I must thank you for the wonderful arrangements that you made for us while traveling in Rome and to the Port prior to boarding our ship. All of the drivers Marco, Joe, Mauritzio were the best.

Our guide for the Vatican, Fernando was perhaps one of the best tour guide experiences that I have ever been through.

He came to our hotel the day before to introduce himself and was willing to wait on the line for the Vatican an hour prior to us joining him in spotty rain.

Our half day at the Vatican was so informative and even though we experienced terrible rain in the afternoon “Nando” was willing to lead us and we were willing to follow through ancient Rome.

Fernando is a National Treasure.

Again our thanks and best wishes for continued success in your business.”
