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.

Loved the custom itinerary We cannot be more pleased with our 16-day tour arranged by Pia Accardo of Cultural Italy. Through several phone calls Pia learned what we like and dislike, the things we wanted to see and do, our physical limitations, and the budget we had for hotels, etc. The private tours, guides, and drivers that she lined up were delightful, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Pia is an expert on Italy and she takes great care in designing an itinerary to fit your needs. You will not be disappointed in working with her.

An unforgettable trip! My friend and I decided to do a girl’s trip to Italy and started to do some research online. After answering a few questions and briefly describing what we were looking to do, we were contacted by our travel designer Martina. After one or two quick email exchanges she came back to us with a draft itinerary. We had one change...add another day!! She did a fantastic job planning out our itinerary. The hotels and location were perfect as were the balance of the days and activities. We hiked the Cinque Terre, had a private wine tasting and took a cooking class which were all awesome! Our trip was amazing, we cannot say enough about how wonderful everything was!

Cultural 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!

Fantastic travel organizer They have organized several trips for us. Every time they have done excellent work. Everything was perfect. Their transports are the best, most comfortable, always on time. We have experienced the best guides that they had provided. Very flexible during planning - always available by phone or emails.
