GBI would’ve given 5 stars because… I would’ve given 5 stars because everything was as we expected and perfect from our arrival in Italy. 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.

GBA 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.

GBAn 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!

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.

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.
