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.
The trip flowed beautifully from start to finish. We traveled through Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, and Lake Como with every hotel, private transfer, and tour carefully arranged. The logistics were seamless; drivers were always on time; private guides were knowledgeable and professional, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed by the schedule.
We want to highlight that private guide tour is the best experience. We had Luca in Rome who took the time to answer all our questions and gave us such an amazing tour with such rich knowledge and understanding of art, history, politics of all Roman Empire. It was truly delightful.
Then we had Yaris in Florence who was spectacular!!! His guidance to understand history and all the events that made the wonderful and rich culture of Florence, Chianti area, Siena, food topics, science and remarks of all towns we visited was incredible.
Also, Paola in Florence provide us with such a wonderful walk tour and rich overview of all architecture, art, and religion.
Venice, Murano and Milan tour were also fantastic and really gave us a great view of culture and historical events. Even recommended amazing sites for dinner and lunch.
Carlo at Lake Como was wonderful, such a beautiful boat ride which rich historical remarks of the important sites. He even recommended and help us to get reservation on the same day to a restaurant which was fantastic!!!
Florence cooking class at In Tavola, was discrete, private small class, delicious a really great experience, especially for my son who was hands on from the beginning.
Each experience felt thoughtfully curated and gave us meaningful insight into Italy’s incredible history and culture.
One of the most special moments of the trip was a personal day trip arranged to visit Picciano and Pescara —locations connected to our family’s roots. Having the opportunity to include something so personal made the journey even more meaningful for us.
Traveling with my son, I especially appreciated how comfortable and engaging the entire experience was for our family. Manuela handled every detail with professionalism and care, allowing us to simply relax and immerse ourselves in Italy. I highly recommend Cultural Italy and Manuela for anyone looking for a truly exceptional and thoughtfully designed travel experience.
