We had a wonderful trip

Thank you. We had a wonderful trip. All the transfers, guides and accommodations were wonderful. We loved the wine tasting lunches! All in all, a great trip and we really appreciate your help. Two thumbs up!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful these trips are

In July we went with A small tour group hosted by Filomena of Ciao Amici. This is our fourth trip with Filomena to Italy. I can’t say enough about how wonderful these trips are. The most recent one was to Cinque Terre and Torino. It was one of the most breathtaking trips we took. A great balance with great people, great food, great wine, wonderful tours and beautiful scenery. I especially loved the private boat tour to the fishing villages along the coast and diving off the boat to snorkel in the crystal clear water. We also learned to make pesto and I have to say when I made it at home it was really delicious. If you want to experience Italy,this is the way to do it

the vacation was a resounding success

Filomena and Kelly, We had a wonderful trip, thanks to you. As usual, the planning was meticulous and perfect. Our tour guides and drivers were all terrific and the connections were all perfect. Of course, Giuseppe was the star of the show and we truly felt like we were with family with him. You gave us some great suggestions with the food tour of Trastevere and the cooking class with Cristina.They were both big hits with all of us. I was particularly impressed with Cristina, who took us shoping at the market, took us into her beautiful home, took us on a walking tour of her neighborhood in Aventino and spent the day cooking and eating with us. She was pleasant, charming and an outstanding chef and she made this an awesome experience.Amalfi was incredible and the hotel was absolutely gorgeous - great suggestion. We really spent a lot of time exploring Trastevere and that was another side of Rome that we really loved. The hotel in Rome was incredible - beautiful, elegant and comfortable, the breakfasts were amazing and the WiFi worked. The vacation was a resounding success. We look forward to doing this again next year. Great job guys

Unique experiences

It’s really difficult to pick one thing. Everything about the trip was curated perfectly for the group. Unique experiences all the way though. The cooking class experience to snorkeling. It was all fantastic.

Everything was perfect

Thank you so much for planning our amazing trip! Everything was perfect, and we've been saying that it has been our best trip we've ever taken. Giuseppe and our other tour guide were so knowledgeable and entertaining, the food tour was a lot of fun and delicious, and all of our accommodations were top-notch and in great locations, especially the bell tower room in Cortona! I'm not sure what our highlights were because we enjoyed each activity so much. I really liked the food tour and hotel room in Cortona, John really liked Giuseppe showing us around and the cooking class.

phenomenal trip!

Hello Filomena & Kelly, The trip to Torino/Cinque Terre/Portofino with Ciao Amici was phenomenal! What beautiful regions and cultures you introduced and shared. The trip was well organized and the perfect balance of tours, free time, shared meals, and rest. I enjoyed residing in Torino for the first half of the trip, and then Santa Margherita. The hotels were outstanding and the variation between city and coast felt like we were on two trips in one. Torino was a special city. I enjoyed the history, architecture, food, and specialties of the region. Our guide was terrific! The trips outside the heart of the city to the wonderful wineries were amazing as well. I particularly loved the rolling hills, hike, and wine at ``Vigna dei Pastelli``. It was a special day to be accompanied by the mayor! I can't say enough about the food we enjoyed. Lunches at Osteria Campamac and the Cantine Marchesi di Barolo were delectable. I tend to hold paces near the water closest to my heart. The second half of our trip to the Cinque Terre region along the Ligurian Sea was a gem. I soaked up the breathtaking beauty of the landscape and fishing villages, It is hard to say there was a highlight, as each day was filled with such abundant beauty and adventure. But I suppose snorkeling to find the underwater ``Christ of the Abyss`` followed by the 4x4 eco tour to the pesto making class would be icing on the cake! This trip was so special. Thank you so much for all the work you do to make it so. Much Gratitude, ps. I must say I also had such a wonderful time with the incredible group of people we traveled with, including your family Filomena! Such kind, friendly, intelligent, loving hearts among everyone
