About us! Independent itineraries!
Benvenuti!
Our experience and expertise will allow you to relax and travel hassle free in the company of like-minded travellers.
We are proud to say our guests have a great time and travel with us for a second, third and fourth time knowing we will take them to
places they would not see or experience without our knowledge, language skills and our friends. We have a combined 36 years of experience
in the travel industry in Italy and would love to share these with you to enable your dreams to come true. We have now designed and fully
managed more than 70 itineraries during the past 17 years and many equally successful 'independent' itineraries.
No itinerary is ever the same as our client's individual personalities add a new dimension. In a relaxed and convivial
atmosphere experiences of life and future ambitions can be shared. To completely immerse you in the culture, arts, history, the food
and the wine, we introduce you to our many delightful friends. They will be your hoteliers, porters, maitre-d, the restaurateurs, waiters
and waitresses, chefs, drivers and guides. Also the fish-monger, the tomato-stall owner, art-shop owners, leatherwear manufacturer, the
terracotta manufacturer, olive-oil and wine maker, the Mayor, the local hairdresser!! These friends are invaluable in making your journey
with us a most memorable experience.
The itineraries featured in our 2008 Preview have been especially designed so you have the opportunity to experience early
Summer, the Opera Season in Verona, late Summer and early Autumn, and so you are NOT travelling during the height of the tourist season and NOT
during the hot summer and school holidays!!
All our itineraries are informative, personal, fun and relaxing - they are not bus tours - these qualities are hard to find on
a 'normal' tour.

Independent Itineraries
Are you planning a holiday in Italy??
We would be delighted to help you design your own itinerary, albeit for a
couple, group of friends, a family; a club, perhaps a company or school group, so your travels will be a memorable experience. Our expertise
and local knowledge will assist you in planning your travels. Your especially designed itinerary will fulfil your dreams. Your budget will
not restrict the efficiency of our assistance. You may wish to be accommodated in 3, 4 or 5 star deluxe hotels, depending on your preference.
You may wish to travel by train (we will reserve your seats so you don't have to stand), have your own English speaking chauffeur, luxury car,
limousine or mini bus, enabling you to visit the places off the beaten track, familiar to your driver.
To explore the arts and history of this culturally rich country we will arrange for you to have your own professional guide
(not with 40 other tourists). Your guide will not only introduce you to the arts and history, but also answer those questions
you have always wanted to ask. We will recommend restaurants, opening and closing times of galleries and museums and advise
you where to go and where not to go!
We can help you determine which region to visit, how long to stay in each area, and what season is the best. If you have special
interests you'd like to pursue, we can build them into your itinerary. A design fee applies. This fee is indicated in our initial
suggested itinerary - "a small price to pay" for a hassle free holiday!!
Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on one of our small group itineraries; to start planning your own
independent holiday; or if you would like to make an appointment to meet us when we can show you photographs of the special
places we take our clients.
With kind regards and best wishes for your future travels.
Susan and John

Some Comments and memorable experiences
from our Travellers
-
The huge variety of experiences will stay with us for sometime! The beautiful gardens and villas, the opportunity to explore
at ones own leisure and the interesting local markets.
-
Our sixteen days were amongst the most enjoyable experiences of our lives. Springtime in Northern Italy at its unique best.
-
Both tours were great and we found Croatia particularly interesting. Our memorable experiences were -
"the water taxi trip which wound through canals to deliver us to a superb restaurant". In Croatia - "The choir aboard
the boat ferrying us across the Plitvice lake who sang with such passion about their country. The fine looking young
people, so positive, despite the trauma suffered in their lifetime. The wonderful guides, particularly Fulvia at the
Cinque Terre and Tamara in Croatia. They contributed so much to the success of the tour".
-
The reason I keep travelling with you folk - is simply - I love the tours!!!
-
...another heart felt thankyou for the fantastic experience of Italy!.
-
I enjoy your delightful and all-embracing hospitality!
-
My favourite place was magical Siena with its history and pageantry still so alive today as an integral
part of the people's lives and Donatella was a great guide.
-
Your assistance in arranging everything before and at all times during the tour was first class,
together with your ability to accept all of our personal foibles. I doubt that you could have done more. Superb!
-
A wonderful wonderful experience, like living in a fairy tale. We are sure that the memories will live with us forever. Thankyou both so very very much.
-
We had such a wonderful holiday in Italy ...all thanks to you two. It was better than we could ever have
imagined. At this point in time we can't tell you what was the most memorable experience... we actually think you have taken all
things which you yourselves find memorable and given them to us including Raffaelle who was just the sweetest little guy!!
Short of an audience with the Pope, I can't think of improvements either.
-
Your interpretation of our needs was exemplary!
-
You both make a good team and we wish you all the very best for the future.
