The only downside was during the planning phase our travel agent seemed a little disorganized which made the planning part a little frustrating but in the end she nailed it. Truthfully some of the frustration may have been due to cultural communication differences. I would definitely use them again for planning a trip to Italy.

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!

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.

GBCustomized 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.

GBFiorella and team organization an… Fiorella and team organization an amazing trip to Italy for my family. We toured across Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Cinque Terre and Naples. Our itinerary consisted of stopping at major site seeing spots (e.g. Pompeii, Tower of Pisa etc) and visiting off-the-beaten path smaller quaint villages (e.g. San Gimignano, Monterosso etc). The team ensured our travel between destinations was seamless, tickets to events were prearrange so we could skip the long lines and that our visit was filled with memorable moments such as a pasta cooking class, wine tasting etc. Cultural Italy helped us create a once in a lifetime experience that created amazing memories for my family.
