Don and Linda’s Outstanding Vacation

Ciao Monica,
All of the plans you made for our trip were outstanding. The hotels were excellent, the rides were great, and we really enjoyed the tours. We especially enjoyed the tour and our guide, Luca, for the Vatican. A very special night was the pasta cooking class. We had a ball, and we are planning a dinner party with homemade raviolis and gnocchi.

Italy Friends Trip

Our first time in Italy was magical, thanks to Fiorella and Cultural Italy!  From our beginnings in Rome to our endings in Rapallo, our trip was completely amazing!  Our tour guides were phenomenal along with the ease of the transfers and meeting directions.  We especially loved our cooking class in Tuscany and learned so much about Italian culture.

Russo Group Tour

Thank You Rita!

Yes! We loved every minute! Rome was the biggest hit with the group because the coffee and breakfast there was amazing!! We loved the tour guides in Rome. Both days were fabulous. The tour guide for the Vatican actually visits Louisiana and we know mutual people. Cefalu was my personal favorite with the relaxed beach vibes and the cute city.

Mark and Judy’s Wonderful Tour

Hello Rita, 

Judy and I returned safely and on time from one of the most wonderful trips we have ever experienced, all with great thanks to you. 

The timeliness of each of the transfers was impeccable, including an 03:30 water taxi on the night of a time change! Even more impressive were your tour guides. Encyclopedic knowledge, effusive personalities, flexibility to our interests, all traits exhibited by each and every one. From previous trips we expected at least one or two disappointing tours, but not with your people.

Geoff and Nicole’s Anniversary Trip

Buona sera Rita.

Thank you so much for planning a wonderful trip for Geoff and I and our friends the Groarks.   Geoff and I enjoyed every minute of the trip and he now loves Italy as much as I.   We created memories of a lifetime and it was an anniversary trip that we not soon forget.  Once again thank you for all your planning and hard work.

Grazie Molto!

Geoff and Nicole

In Minor Keys — Venice Biennale 2026

Venice Biennale

A Biennale that Listens, Rather than SpeaksIf past editions of the Venice Biennale explored grand gestures and the spectacle of humanity, In Minor Keys moves differently.
 Kouoh envisioned a Biennale that values intimacy over volume, listening over showing, and essence…

Lisa and Jim’s Trip of a Lifetime

Hello Emanuela,

I hope you had a nice weekend.

We had the trip of a lifetime and can’t thank you enough for all your efforts to put it together.  Everything from the moment we arrived worked like clockwork – drivers, transfers, tours, and hotels.  There are no complaints!

Ursula and Bill’s Sicily Adventure

Ciao Rita,

We had a really wonderful time and the weather was also great. The hotels we stayed in were all very nice and most had exceptional views. All the beds were great, comfortable as were the pillows. Sicily is so completely -in a lovely way- different from could I say mainland Italy?. I would say however that if first time to Italy, see the mainland first. Both are as wonderful as they are different.

Richmond/Tepper Friends Trip

Buongiorno Monica,

I think this was the best trip yet! So many wonderful adventures.  We are still talking about seeing The Last Supper….amazing!  My daughter asked me what was the best thing we did and I couldn’t narrow it down to just one!  Loved Sirmione, we saw a Māori  group perform in Verona, then the cheese making weighing 100 kg, the wine pudding (very unique), the David, Lucca and its wall, the frescos with the facial expressions, the fast speed train going 300 kilometers, climbing up to the top of Duomo and I am sure I forgot something, but it was wonderful.

Turilli Group Trip

Hi Marcella:

Rich and I want to thank you very much for planning our 1st trip to Italy.   Our accommodations in each  city/town  were lovely and our travel from one city to the next was seamless.  We are especially grateful that you were able to get us on a train during a transit strike so our trip wasn’t interrupted. The three private tours we did were great.
