A good understanding of what we wanted Fiorella "listened" to what we wanted with our visit to Florence and Cinque Terre and provided the lodging, guides and drivers that all worked really well with our ideas. We had no problems with language, and all the arrangements - lodging, guides, drivers, train tickets - they made for us were without problems. We were provided with thorough instructions. I don't hesitate at all in recommending Cultural Italy.

Back to our roots Our trips to Italy and Sicily have been more then anyone could have imagined. Manuela and Cultural Italy went above and beyond our expectations. My travel group have used them twice and many friends were also recommended by us to have them arrange their trips and came home with nothing but raves. Looking forward to our next trip planned by Manuela B and Cultural Italy.

DO NOT USE I am trying to cancel a trip to Italy since we can not even fly to Italy due to the ban for Coronavirus. The response from agent is that some hotels have NO REFUND. Was told they need money now because of everything going on! This is the worst excuse ever! NO one can travel. This should be automatic refund.

Good 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.

Cultural Italy was a great choice Cultural Italy was a great choice. Our agent, Luana, was very knowledgeable, particularly when it came to hotel choices with respect to their location and amenities offered. She arranged for private transfers from airports to hotel and train stations and it made the trip less stressful for us. The negatives on the trip we encountered were mostly unavoidable, i.e., massive crowds of tourists that delayed tours despite the no waiting in lines tickets. My advice would be to arrange for private one-on-one tour guides if you can afford it. Luana also made herself available when needed and was very responsive to my many emails.
