Eric
Amazing!
What an amazing time we had on our trip to Italy this year! Nada's tours are the way to go to Italy, we did not wait in lines, we had spectacular food, and the small group was awesome! We would see travel groups of 50 or more people in Italy & our entire group agreed that this is the way to make new friends & new experiences so very special. Thank you Nada & Alice
Chris
HIGHLY recommend !!!!
I just returned from my second Nada's Italy tour in Oct. Three years ago I went on Jewels of the Amalfi Coast and last month I went on Sole Terre. Just like my first tour this recent experience far exceeded my expectations. Truly a magical trip in all ways. I cannot say enough about what a wonderful company this is and how much thought, effort, planning, professionalism, and passion goes into everything the Nada's Italy team touches. I have made special memories that will last a lifetime. If you want a great Italian adventure I HIGHLY recommend Nada's Italy Small Group Tours.
Lynne
Everything was Perfect!
The saying, " A TOUR FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE TOURS" is a perfect description. Having only 12 people with a wonderful tour director was ideal. The group gelled by the first day. The trip was well balanced with history, cooking classes, boat rides, great restaurants and plenty of free time. Nada's also helped us arrange extensions to Venice and Verona which made our trip seamless. We would use Nada's again !!
Ken & Karen
Wonderful experience!
Would do it all over again, without hesitation. We lucked out with our tour group of 12, adding to the uniqueness. We all had a great time together, and with our incredible guide, Clarissa (and MariaElana and our driver JohnLuka) made this a trip to remember. Nancy B, New York
