What travelers think of our Italy experiences

Holland 1 June 2025

Our guide was excellent! She was very kind and answered all of our questions and was willing to personalize our tour.

Carol 1 June 2025

Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

Our host was awesome!

Deborah 1 June 2025

Our tour in Naples was fabulous. My husband and I met Roberto, our tour guide, and we had a walking tour through the heart of Naples, through Piazza’s, Parks, and Government buildings, the beautiful Theatre, centuries old buildings, neighborhoods and side streets, as well as learning the History of Naples as we went along. It was fascinating! Roberto Introduced us to vendors and provided the opportunity to see how the local residents live, where they gather, shop and eat. We would have never seen what we did or learn so much about Naples - Napoli on our own. Roberto was a wonderful Host, we were sad to leave him. We felt so lucky. I heartily recommend this tour and Roberto for anyone who wants a really fabulous enriched experience. MORE THAN 5 STARS!!

Stuart 1 June 2025

The walking tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of Bologna and the present as well. Andrea was informative, funny and introduced us to some cured meats that we had not tried before. A nice way to spend the morning.

Casandra 1 June 2025

Great tour. Very flexible and customized for your group. I highly recommended to anyone in Napoli. Enya is the best guide.

You might explore rich Tuscan reds like Chianti or Rosso di Montepulciano, paired with aged pecorino, salumi, or fresh focaccia. Your host introduces each wine’s origin, sharing stories shaped by Siena’s hills and centuries-old wine traditions.

Crisp Whites & Earthy Pairings

Shift to lighter notes with fresh, mineral-driven whites.

Taste whites such as Vernaccia or Trebbiano, paired with seasonal bites like marinated vegetables or herbed crostini. Your host may guide the pace, adjusting each pour to your preferences and the textures you enjoy most.

Optional Close: Quiet Streets & Wine Reflections

Finish with a gentle walk through Siena’s evening rhythm.

Some guests choose to stroll historic lanes, wine glass in hand or memory, letting the day's flavors linger. Whether quiet or lively, the city offers a fitting final note to your personalized Tuscan tasting journey.

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!
