Our Best of Italy Grand Tour with Alma Italia was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived in Venice until the day we returned home, every detail was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly organized. The accommodations were wonderful, the excursions were well chosen, and we experienced so much more than we would have with typical tourist attractions. One of the absolute highlights was the authentic cooking classes, where we learned how to make ravioli, spaghetti, pizza, fresh sauce, and tiramisu - an experience we'll cherish for years. We also loved the local food, wine, and the opportunity to experience Italy through the eyes of people who truly love the country. If you are looking for an authentic, stress-free, and unforgettable way to experience Italy, we wholeheartedly recommend Alma Italia. It exceeded our expectations, and we returned home with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for Italy's culture, food, and people. We wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again.

Booking this trip to Italy was the first time I used a travel agency to help plan trip. I spent a lot of time researching different companies that specialized in Italian travel. This was going to be a two week "bucket list" vacation for my wife and I. I contacted several different agencies with my list of requirements. After speaking with Alessio Mazza at Alma Italia Travel, I knew I found what I was looking for. I gave him an "approximate" budget and a list of places we wanted to see. The list included the usual first-time tourist destinations. Our list included Venice, Lake Como/Lake Garda, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Rome, The Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Pompei, the Amalfi coast, and the island of Capri. We wanted for this to be a private tour, not a small group or bus tour with 60 of our "new best friends" for two weeks. Alessio worked with us to find out what kind of tours and activities we were interested in. He sent us an initial itinerary we reviewed and made a few minor changes based on our priorities and his recommendations. He tailored the perfect trip for us. We requested private transportation, personal guided tours, private wine tasting, a private cooking class at family-owned Tuscan Villa, private boat tours of Lake Garda and Capri. Our accommodations were at wonderful boutique hotels that were always walking distance to most of the sites. Every detail from the drivers meeting us at the airports, train stations and hotels to the first-class train transportation were taken care of. We had not used train transportation in Europe before and were a bit nervous. However, our guide took us inside the train station and showed us what to do and look out for. Our private tour guides were all excellent and very friendly and informative. Our private drivers were all well dressed and drove spotless Mercedes vans. The drivers would coordinate with the tour guides when needed. Many of our drivers made helpful recommendations for restaurants and shops. Alessio did an amazing job putting everything together. I would not have changed a thing. He was always available if and when we had any questions before and during our trip. We would highly recommend using their services. I know we will call Alessio when we go back!

The trip beat all our expectations. Alma left no rock unturned to ensure that we had the best hotels, excellent guides, and drivers. We felt the guides and drivers were there to make our trip memorable. They provided personnel to meet us at the train stations and boat rides. That alleviated any anxiety we had travelling in a foreign county. Alessio was a pleasure to work with answering any questions we had during the trip. I highly recommend using Alma Travel. for a personalized tour.

We recently returned from an unforgettable two-week trip to Italy, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience with this travel agency. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed. Our itinerary took us through Rome, Tuscany, and Sorrento, and each destination offered something unique and memorable. The accommodations were excellent across the board—comfortable, well-located, and full of charm. Traveling between cities was effortless thanks to high-speed trains and well-organized private transportation, which made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. One of the highlights of the trip was a private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast—truly breathtaking and an experience we’ll never forget. We also loved the hands-on activities, including cooking classes where we learned authentic Italian recipes, as well as wine and olive oil tastings that gave us a deeper appreciation for the region’s culinary traditions. And of course, the food throughout the trip was absolutely delicious—every meal felt like a special occasion. Overall, this was a perfectly curated experience that balanced relaxation, culture, and adventure. We’re incredibly grateful for the attention to detail and highly recommend this travel agency to anyone looking to explore Italy in a meaningful and memorable way.
