GBDO NOT USE THIS COMPANY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They could not deliver on the trip we booked because Italy is closed to USA. We can not go there. We wanted to still go on our trip but not possible. They REFUSED TO REFUND us our deposit. This is the worst travel agent ever.

GBCultural Italy made my dream come true Cultural Italy made my dream come true! Everything my daughter and I wished for, CI made happen. The cooking classes were amazing - such wonderful teachers and interesting locations. Everything was taken care of and we did not experience one moment of disappointment the entire trip. Cannot say enough good things!

GBAshleih put together a fantastic trip… Ashleih put together a fantastic trip for us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with every detail laid out perfectly. The small group excursions and walking tours were a great way to have a personal feel while meeting new people and making new friends We especially enjoyed the Bites of Rome food tour in Trastevere, had a blast at the inTavola cooking class in Florence, had more fun on the Tuscany day trip to San Gimignano and Siena and loved our day hiking in Cinque Terre. Working with Ashleih was a pleasure and we've spread the word to friends who are planning trips to Italy. And thanks again for letting the hotels know this was our anniversary trip. Being greeted with wine and Prosecco was extra special.

GBThis was a trip of a lifetime- thank you! This was a trip of a lifetime and with the help of Emanuela we were given nothing short of white glove service. Emanuela booked tours and guides to suit our interests and schedule, with guides who were personable and knowledgeable. They provided insight and in-depth knowledge of each area we visited. Transfers were punctual and cordial. We especially enjoyed our trip to Murano/Burano as well as the boat ride to Capri. Our hotel accommodations were fabulous with breakfasts that were second to none. We have posted photos of our trip and have already given recommendations for Cultural Italy to our envious friends.

CZGood at following instructions I had an excellent, memorable trip. I provided the agency with my travel requirements and they faithfully implemented them. At one place I asked them to make hotel arrangements. They chose a nice place where one had to also eat breakfast and dinner greatly limiting our meal choices. I did not like this at all. The lesson I had learned is that I need to do my research thoroughly and give it to them. Best not to rely on them if you have very particular expectations and needs. Overall, I was satisfied. They also need to improve their payment by credit card arrangements which was cumbersome.
