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.

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.

GBMy trip was arranged through Cultural… My trip was arranged through Cultural Italy this past September. They scheduled our hotels, they took our ideas regarding tours and scheduled fabulous tours for us, and arranged all our transportation through out Italy. I have recommended them to my friends and will use them again. All tour guides were exceptional.

GBCultural 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.

GBI was very happy with Roberta from… I was very happy with Roberta from Cultural Italy who helped us have a seemless and fabulous Italy vacation with my family. She arranged all of our tours, transfers and train tickets. I took care of our accommodations, hence the 4 stars, but I have, and will, recommend this company to anyone looking to arrange their Italy vacation.
