Alessio was great to work with. Helped us with all the details as we planned this trip. Everything was exactly as planned. Alessio did a great job checking and was always quick to respond as questions came up. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Fabulous trip - beautiful accommodations with wonderful breakfasts, well organized activities, restaurants and sightseeing.

Alessio arranged a wonderful itinerary for us in Siena! We were at the end of our trip to Italy and we wanted to spend some time in the Tuscan Countryside. We contacted Alessio who we had arranged a trip with in 2020 before Covid hit and we never got to go. He very kindly honoured our deposit from then and arranged our trip to Siena. From the private driver pick up at the Florence train station to the wine tasting trip to Castello Verrazzano, the private walking tour of Siena and of course the quiet, peaceful boutique hotel, it was all wonderful! The private car to the Florence airport was a lovely finish to our trip. We would highly recommend Alessio and his company for a well planned, hassle free trip to Italy.

We had a wonderful time! The trip was very well planned, the transportation was terrific, and the places we stayed were outstanding! This could not have been a better trip! Thank you, Alessio and Mark Soukup for putting together the trip of a life time! We really enjoyed meeting Alessio at one of our fun stops, too!
