Testimonials

Amazingly hospitable and friendly tour leaders - we felt like we were travelling with friends. You showed us so much of the beauty of the countryside and culture through your excellent choices of accommodation and restaurants. The research done prior and the organisation of daily activities were exceptional. This trip lived up to and exceeded all our expectations. We look forward to travelling with you again. We had a fantastic time.

Warren and Rosemary, Mount Waverley

Thank you for the most outstanding holiday of our lives! From the moment we were picked up we were amazed and sometimes in awe of the beauty of the countryside and the exceptional accommodation. The driving was always professional – cool, calm and in control even in the most hair raising of situations. The tour leader was a fountain of information combined with an effervescent personality and gave the tour that extra special touch! If you would like to know what we liked best – it was all our favourite!

Richard and Leanne, Warranwood

"Hassle free. When the rest of the tourist world appears to be frenetic and stressed, catching buses, driving cars and standing in queues, we seemed to be floating like the white swans at Lake Garda! We seemed to just lurch from one great spot to another, be that historic towns, well chosen restaurants or well selected tours. Italy is a beautiful country certainly, but this private tour takes you to places that makes the term “beautiful” almost inadequate. It is history, it is art, it is amazing architecture that is audacious and stunning, all rolled into one extremely organized experience. Well done - it could not have been better."

Judy & Barry, Hawthorn VIC

The driving has been exemplary and accommodation of a very good standard. Obviously there has been much research carried out to ensure everything went to schedule. There has been a good balance of travel and leisure time. Your passion for Italy is infectious and this has enhanced our experience. You have been very helpful, friendly and a lot of fun. If it all sounds too good to be true, it is!
