Picciano Family Adventure

If you want to experience Italy in a way that is seamless, immersive, and perfectly tailored to your interests, Manuela Broccolini at Cultural Italy is the person to work with.

Our family recently returned from a 14‑night journey through Italy designed by Manuela, and it was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, Manuela took the time to understand what we wanted and worked closely with us to customize an itinerary that perfectly balanced history, culture, food, and time to simply enjoy each destination.

McGill Family Trip

Hi Liliana and Rita! 

We had a wonderful trip! My family was so impressed with the travel arrangements, the accommodations, and the excursions. We loved our time in Italy, and are grateful for your help in planning such a memorable trip. 

The delay at passport control was the only slight difficulty of the trip. Thank you for your help with this. We were grateful that the driver was able to wait for us. 

All of the excursions were excellent! We loved the walking tour/boat ride on Lake Como, the cooking class, the food tour in Milan, and the Last Supper/Castle tour. The guides were all knowledgeable and very friendly. 

I appreciate all of your help (and patience with my responses!)! We will definitely go back to Italy someday, and I will reach out to you when we do. In the meantime, I would and will highly recommend your services to anyone I know that will be going to Italy!

I have attached some photos from our trip! Thanks again!

Imagine standing alone in the Sistine Chapel after hours, taking in Michelangelo’s masterpiece in utter silence. Or savoring a private, candlelit dinner and concert inside a Venetian palazzo, where generations of nobility have dined before you. Perhaps your ideal escape includes a personalized Ferrari tour through Tuscany, winding past rolling vineyards with stops at hidden estates for wine tastings.

Burrola Family Vacation

Dear Manuela
This was my second trip to Italy, and once again, I turned to you for assistance in planning our return visit, this time with my husband, my cousin, and his wife. I wanted to express how incredible our experience was in Rome, Florence, and Venice.

Cobb Family’s Beautiful Trip

Buongiorno Pia,
Happy belated Thanksgiving! I don't know if you're in Sicily or San Diego, but I wanted to connect with you, even though I'm very late in doing so,  and thank you for assisting me with my trip to Italy. Everything was beautiful and created memories that will last a lifetime.
