Sinda at Ciao Italy is Simply Amazing! Sinda from Ciao Italy Tours did an amazing job with my clients who went on a three city Italian whirlwind in six days -- Florence, Rome, Venice. In addition to the fact that it was very last minute -- less than 8 days lead time. Hotels, trains and tours in each city, Golf cart tour in Florence along with cooking class. Clients had a superb experience!

Confirm with Sub-Vendors Most of the client experience that I booked through CIAO Italy was good. The couple of experiences that went bad were due to CIAO Italy not confirming with their sub-vendors that everything was all set. Both bad issues were in transportation. One local company had the wrong date for the transportation, and the other the driver got lost on a 2.1 mile ride...and the driver was a local. Not quite sure how that happens. Neither of these issues were CIAO Italy's fault, but I think they should get in the habit of confirming the information with their vendors so the clients have a smooth experience.

Ciao Italy knows Italy!!! We started planning very close to travel dates but Ciao Italy worked with our local agent to get us into great hotels in Florence, Milan, and Rome. They booked tours for us: some private and some small group as well as transportation. The highlight was an expensive private tour of the Vatican Musuem and St Peter's Basilica. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly but also politely assertive with other tour guides to move us through without waiting anywhere. The architecture, the church, and the extensive collection of artworks, including walls and ceilings completed by Raphael, Michelangelo, and others is so vast that this really is the best way to take as much in as a day allows. Tours of ancient Rome, highlights of Rome, highlights of Florence (Uffizi and Accademia Gallery), and train tickets between cities were included. Details and vouchers were provided for printing.

We had an incredible trip We had an incredible trip! We started in Napoli and ended in Sorrento at a beautiful villa. We did private tours of Napoli, Procida, Amalfi (Including a winery tour) and Positano. We also did a private boat tour a Capri. The tours were well organized, on time, captured all the important places to see and the guides had a tremendous amount of information. Everything was amazing and I highly recommend Ciao Italy Tours.

Taking Mom to Nonno's birthplace We had a private tour of Sicily including a day in Nonno's village. Ciao Italy arranged a remarkable trip customized to our preferences. The guides, drivers, and excursions were great. The hotel was beautiful and the people could not have been nicer or more accommodating. This trip exceeded all of my expectations.
