“I have been a regular traveller with Nada’s Italy for 7 years. I dreaded being herded onto a big tour bus!! Their small, personal, friendly groups of just 12 are perfect whether you are single, a small group of friends or family or a couple. You will see the sites you expect to see as well as some off the beaten path experiences you never imagined seeing. You will truly experience Italy….not just get paraded from site to site!”
“Our travel dreams were realized beyond all expectations! We learned that Nada’s definition of a “small” group was really small, small enough that our group could go into any restaurant and be treated like normal guests, and small enough that our minivans could go places big buses could not. And small enough that we could easily visit the artisan workshops, which was a real highlight.
There is no way it could have worked so well with a larger group, and it would have been impossible to do all this so calmly on our own.”
“We have been on 3 Nada’s Italy Tours of Italia. Each one was spectacular in EVERY respect. The first was with Nada herself in Tuscany. Wow. The second was to Bologna/Modena/Parma/ Roma. The most recent was the Sizzling Sicily Tour. Perfetto!!! Nada, her marvelous office staff, guides, drivers are all first class, fantastic, and wonderful. I am always proud to invite my friends, family, staff, and patients on our trips. Grazie Mille to everyone at Nada’s Italy!”

“I have no words. Well, I have many words actually. Absolutely amazing, incredible, humbling, intense, eye opening, informative, so far beyond our expectations!! Hats off the Nada’s Italy for our incredible bucket list trip. It was my and my husband’s first trip to Europe/Italy and a bucket list item. I’m so happy we chose Nada’s.
We chose Nada’s because we were able to show up with our suitcase’s and not have to think or deal with any of the planning. And that is exactly what we did! Everything was seamless. Nada’s, THANK YOU for the experience, memories and trip of a lifetime! If you’re trying to decide on a tour group for your next adventure STOP HERE!”
“My recent trip with Nada’s Italy was as close to perfect as could be expected. It started with being with a small group of wonderful people and continued with impeccable logistics at every point of the trip. We were escorted in new, comfortable Mercedes-Benz SUV’s with plenty of room. Each hotel was first-rate and conveniently located. The food was delicious and certainly plentiful (Florentine steak – wow!). We were ushered into popular venues with no trouble and had plenty of time to explore each to our heart’s content.
Nada’s Italy was recommended to me by friends and I heartily thank them for that. I, too, will heartily recommend Nada’s Italy to others.”
“I wish there were more stars for this review, because I don’t feel that 5 stars is enough. I must say that I am forever spoiled by their organization, attention to detail and turn key service. I enjoyed the expedited entry we received in the popular spots that had long lines just to get in. Each one of our guides were extremely personable and very knowledgeable in their areas. It was hard saying good bye to each of them as we developed a bond that made us feel like old friends. Thank you for an incredible family vacation that we are sure to remember the rest of our lives!”
“My wife and I recently worked with Nada’s Italy to plan our 2 week honeymoon trip and could not recommend them enough! Simona was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and really took the time to get to know us and understand what kind of trip we wanted to have.
There were quite a few cities that we wanted to visit during our time in Italy and she put together an amazing itinerary for us that completely covered all of our logistical needs. The entire Nada’s Italy team, including the drivers and tour guides that they hand selected, made this honeymoon trip extra special for us and really went above and beyond what we had ever expected!”
“The Lake Como & Piemonte tour is absolutely wonderful. This was our second Nada’s tour and now planning our third!
Our journey director was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Milan, Lake Como, Turin all fabulous! The Bernina express excursion views were breath taking of the Swiss Alps. Our hotels were great and stayed in a beautiful villa. The food, wine tasting, cooking class all exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the personal service provided to a small group. We felt safe at all times and appreciated the recommendations for the time spent on our own. This trip will live on forever with the wonderful memories made!“
“My wife and I are so please with Nada’s Italy that I feel compelled to write a review. This was a first-class experience. From the hotel selections to the quality of the drivers and tour guides, all were above our expectations. I value promptness highly and they did not disappoint. We came away feeling more like friends than clients.“
“Just returned from the Italian Treasures Tour! What a wonderful time! Venice was so quiet and a great way to start the trip. The tour of Castello del Trebbio was breathtakingly beautiful, the pasta making class was tremendously fun and delicious. Finishing up in Rome with it’s rich history was perfect. All the accommodations were centrally located and were absolutely beautiful.
Nada’s small group tour allowed us to go smaller family run restaurants for lunch and dinner. Enzo, our journey director, was so very accommodating to all of us, giving us suggestions for where to go and what to do during our free time, if we needed it! Our intimate group of 8 became fast friends on night 1. I can’t wait to go back!!”
“Our multi-generational family group of 11 just returned home from a 10-day dream Italy vacation, arranged in its entirety by Simona from Nada’s Italy, and we couldn’t be happier with what turned out to be simply a perfect experience! Simona helped us from the early stages of planning, all the way to the final detailed itinerary, and every step of the way our interactions were upmost professional, friendly, and extremely flexible, giving us the confidence to know that we were working with the right partner.
Throughout our entire trip, it felt as if we were being handheld, it was very safe, very well planned, an all around top notch experience from beginning to end. Thank you Simona and Nada’s Italy!“
“We had never done a group tour before so we weren’t sure that we’d like the experience. We had a group of eight strangers who ended up being delightful tour companions. It was nice to share daily experiences and learn about them over meals.
Our journey director was informative, friendly, entertaining and quite the character in a good way! The vehicles were comfortable, the drivers drove safely and were very kind, putting up with my attempts at Italian. In addition to the sites, the cooking classes were especially fun. I liked having a mix of freedom to walk around and planned activities. When we returned to Florence, I saw groups that exceeded 30 people. I couldn’t help but think that our smaller group size made a big difference in how we perceived the experience. “
