Karin Kibby

"Karin is like a sparkling glass of prosecco: bubbly, fun, and a treat to be with. Her knowledge of all things Italy was quite amazing. And the tiny details she gave about navigation and cultural customs were incredibly helpful. This was a lifelong dream-trip come true."
— Margaret, Heart of Italy in 9 Days tour


Nina Bernardo

Nina Bernardo

"Nina made me feel like an old friend instead of a customer about 5 minutes after meeting her. She is encouraging, inviting exploration, informative, but firm and confident when we all needed to do something now. Made me laugh many times. You know she's a great guide when you miss her as soon as the tour is over."
— Anthony, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour

Lisa Anderson

"Lisa was outstanding! Friendly, full of knowledge and passion for Italy with excellent language skills. She had an exceptional rapport with other guides, hoteliers, and restaurant owners. I felt she was vested in making this the best vacation ever for everyone on the tour. She has great Italian stories too!"
— John, Best of Venice, Florence & Rome in 10 Days tour

Sarah Corfield

"I can't say enough good about Sarah! She is a teacher at heart, and an outstanding one. I appreciate the knowledge she shared, her encouragement and help in learning some basic Italian words and phrases, her insights into people and culture, and the pieces of her own story that she shared with us. I was sorry to have to tell her goodbye at the farewell breakfast."
— Lawana, Heart of Italy in 9 Days Tour


cecelia-bottai

Cecilia Bottai

"I have traveled with other tour guides in the past and Cecilia is by far my favorite! She was very knowledgeable, generous, kind, and a 'straight shooter,' which I appreciated. The topper was the farewell dinner and wine tasting which was a huge success!!"
— Trena, Best of Rome in 7 Days tour


Alfio Di Mauro

"Alfio was friendly, informative, organized, funny, and caring. He was easy to understand and really gave us the viewpoint of a real Italian to better understand the culture and lifestyle of Italian citizens. We can't say enough good things about Alfio."
— Shelby, Heart of Italy in 9 Days tour
