Fred
We saw a great deal of the beauty and culture of Italy and looking back on the trip I am glad we signed up for the small tour group with people who know what they were doing and where to go. The meals were nice and someone planning our day and getting us there was very nice. It was a very nice trip.
Jeff
This has to be the best tour we have taken in ALL of our travels!! Period!! In our group of 12 we became very good friends and Nada was absolutely the best tour host ever! She is a very caring person and an excellent host who has a knack for understanding the culture and helping tour participants to blend into that culture. The food was fantastic; our Tuscan tour was fantastic, and it was the perfect blend of learning, eating wonderful food, drinking killer wine, history, personal camaraderie, and learning about a different culture. We have taken many small group tours with many different groups from Road Scholar to Overseas Adventure Travel, and STILL Nada's small group Italy tours tops our list of memories, good times, and great personal interactions. We will definitely go on another tour with her. After our tour we have remained in contact with Nada, who is one of the finest people I have ever met. This is no favorable review for a friend. If you have any questions about our tour and experience, I would be happy to give you the details. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. I give it the highest recommendation. Happy Travels!

My first trip to Italy was with Nada in 2011. It was so fantastic that I immediately booked another. It exceeded all expectations! To date, I have been on 6 of these magnificent tours...Sole Terra (Tuscany), Jewels of the Amalfi Coast, Venetian Splendors, Sizzling Sicily, Dolce Vita (Umbria) and Puglia Paradise. The first 3 were led by Nada who left no detail to chance and took us to places that were not the usual tourist stops. The next three were led by Leonardo, Alice, and Sergio. Also, as a single traveler, I was hesitant to venture off to Europe alone. But on these trips, I soon felt like I was on a trip with close friends. To me, this is the best and only way to see Italy!!
