"Just returned from the Italian Treasures Tour! What a wonderful time and the weather couldn't have been better! Venice was so quiet and a great way to start the trip. The tour of Castello del Trebbio was breathtakingly beautiful and 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 in each city 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 our group, 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!!"
"After several experiences with large group tours, I decided to try something different and learned about the travel options offered by Nada's Italy. I opted to take the Italian Treasures tour, and it was, hands-down, the trip of a lifetime! From initial email correspondence with the office, through the tour, I found every detail to be perfect, and the customer service far exceeded my expectation. Our tour leader was Clarissa, and she gave our group valuable information and insight into her country. Clarissa always had a smile on her face and made each member of the group feel very special. Clearly, this was not just a job for her, but a true passion, and I also feel that everyone at Nada's Italy feels the same way. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Nada's!!"
"This trip was absolutely a trip of a lifetime.! We did the Italian Treasures package (Rome, Florence, Venice). Nada’s Italy had every detail taken care of to perfection. Nada’s provided a perfect balance of time with a small tour group and personal time to explore on our own. Our tour group leader, Leonardo, was awesome and made us all feel like family together. He guided us through all the museums and history with so much knowledge but also took us to where the locals live and dine to give us the feel of how it is to live there. Definitely recommend Nada’s and will be using them for our next trip back to Italy in the near future."
"I couldn’t be happier with the Nada’s Italy tours we recently completed! We did both the Jewels of the Amalfi Coast and the Italian Treasures tours. The itineraries for both were excellent. We had just the right balance of scheduled activities and free time to explore on our own. There were even surprises built in to the schedule which made the trip all the more fun. The hotels, meals and planned activities were all wonderful! All of the personnel associated with Nada’s, from the drivers to the super knowledgeable city guides to the office staff, were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Our program director was an absolute gem! One of the best features of our trip was the small group format. Because we were only 12 people, we became very close, an aspect of the trip I did not expect but very much appreciated! We even hung out together during our free time. I wholeheartedly recommend traveling with Nada’s Italy. It was an experience I’ll never forget!"
"We recently went on Nada's Italy "Italian Treasures Tour". Nada's team in the U.S. and Italy exceeded our dreams in so many ways. The unique aspects of this small tour cannot be matched. It is the little nuances and special knowledge of this beautiful country that Nada's team bring to life. There are side trips and stops to fantastic countryside villas that fit in so well with the overall experience. And the food and wine is truly remarkable and memorable. We are already discussing our next trip to Italy. And if we could spend it with the same guides and fellow travelers on this trip we would do it in a heartbeat. Such wonderful people that we still connect with them even though we are back home now. We look forward to using Nada's Italy in the near future! Grazie to you Nada' Italy and your entire team!!"
"We just returned from Nada's Italy Italian Treasures Tour. Perfect trip! We were treated like VIP's, chauffeured in style in comfortable Mercedes. The trip was so well planned with excursions and free time every day. Our tour director Ilaria was our mother hen, so sweet, funny and capable!! We loved her! Beautiful hotels in great locations, outrageously good food (and wine!), excellent city guides. There were 10 of us on this trip and we all got along very well. We could not have imagined a better trip! Loved every minute of it and cannot wait to go on another trip with Nada's!!"
"Our Italian Treasures trip with Nada’s Italy was a dream come true for us! A luxury touring experience in every way. We travelled with 5 other couples staying in beautiful boutique hotels that were comfortable, well located and clean with professional staff. The itinerary was excellent and every detail was taking care of. There were surprises in every city. Our transportation was by luxury Mercedes Sprinter Vans with professional drivers. The meals chosen were excellent, and we had fun every day with our journey director Anna and our travel companions. We feel like we really got to appreciate all of the areas we toured. Grazie Mille Team Nada’s for making our Italy dreams come true!"
