Ciao Martina!
Thank you for everything! This was truly a trip of a lifetime and we loved every minute. Everything was perfect and even better than I imagined! I can’t say enough how great everything worked out. I am very disappointed we had to leave. I may be looking for jobs in Italy now - I loved Italy too much. Thank you for all of the help - I never could have planned something so amazing on my own. Thank you for making my wife and i’s honeymoon so amazing!

Hi, Nicoletta,
Thank you very much for your help. Everything was wonderful. We are very satisfied with all the hotels, guides, transfers. The Arena and LaScala were great. The trip on Como was great, and it really nice to be on a private boat. I will send you a few pictures, and it is Okay for you to use us for referrals, and we will also recommend you to our friends.

Ciao Fiorella,
I cannot thank you enough for the well planned trip and how much we enjoyed ourselves. All the hotels were beautiful, drivers were excellent and very helpful and professional as were the guides. We had a fantastic time and everything went well with no problems at all. My family enjoyed each part and the Hilton in Sorrento was a tremendous finish with great views and a really marvelous hotel.

Hello Fiorella and Franca,
I just want to thank you for once again arranging a wonderful trip for the Scalice’s and us to Italy earlier this month. It was a wonderful adventure seeing and learning more about your, and many of our grandparents’, homeland. The food was excellent, all of our tour guides were wonderful and informative, and our transfers and travel arrangements and accommodations were just as good. Once again, thanks for everything...it was a wonderful experience!!!!!

Emanuela,
The trip was wonderful! They upgraded us in the Hotel Belvadere and our room was AMAZING! The hotel was beautiful. The wine lunch in Monterosso was wonderful! They had amazing food to pair with the wines and the cliffside restaurant was spectacular! The chef prepared creative, small dishes which we really enjoyed. I recommend you to everyone I hear wanting to travel to Italy. You really have done a wonderful job taking care of us.

Pia,
We are well pleased and have talked about our next trip to Italy. Thank you for all your hard work and perfect planning. The trip to Italy was absolutely amazing. The itinerary that our travel designer planned for us could not have been better. Everything was perfectly planned and the services provided were extraordinary. I would like to say that I went to Italy on a vacation with tour guides approximately 20 years ago, and this trip blew that one out of the water. First trip to Italy for me and it was amazing. cant wait to go back.

Monica,
5/5 stars! My fiance and I were looking to plan a honeymoon to Italy, our first time there, that included stops at Venice, Florence, and Rome to eat great food and experience the culture and history of the cities. Monica contacted us the first day we reached out and has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. She really worked with us to figure out what were were hoping to experience while in Italy and she made it happen! The trip was unforgettable, cannot recommend Monica and Cultural Italy highly enough!

Pia,
Everything was fantastic! You did a great job and we loved every minute of it! And thank you for all of the birthday wishes in every city...you really outdid yourself and made me feel so special! I appreciate it so much!!!
The trip exceeded our expectations and every detail was perfectly planned by you! All of our guides and drivers were fantastic and we were able to learn so much history of each region from them. Renato even gave us his recipe for Bolognese sauce!

Pia and Cultural Italy
designed and coordinated a fantastic and memorable wedding and honeymoon to the Almalfi Coast for my wife and I. No detail was overlooked and Pia helped to customize our wedding ceremony exactly to our requests. I would highly recommend Pia and Cultural Italy to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy!
