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.

DO 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.

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.

Customized tour of Italy Roberta was an excellent agent. She helped plan 14 days in Italy for our family tour group of 18 persons - excursions were planned for each day. All coordination was spot on as planned and described. The selected tour guides and coach drivers ranged from good to excellent - most were excellent. I will single out one particular driver who went above and beyond. For family history reasons we scheduled a day trip from Bologna to Cento. Nothing was easy and there was very little tourism infrastructure. Our driver whom I knew only as Massimo spoke some English and he became our interpreter, tour guide and advocate so that we could see all the family landmarks. With Massimo’s help,!that day was as special as we’d hoped it would be. Accommodations were typically good. The booking was not very transparent so I cannot claim the accommodations were worth what we paid. On a few occasions the preselected rooms were not available when we arrived, in these cases the hotel management would upgrade us.

This 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.
