MR AND MRS LOWE (USA) Sicily, September 2019
We have just completed the delightful Secret Italia tour of Sicily, the highlight of our month vacation here in Italy. After reading the many favorable reviews on your website, we had high expectations for the the trip, which, thanks to your carefully planned itinerary and your wonderful guide Rosaria, were far exceeded.The hotels and restaurants on the tour were of the highest quality, the meals included generous quantities of food and wine, the pacing was comfortable but jam packed with interesting experiences and lovely scenery. Best of all was the company and guidance of Rosaria. My husband and I have done a great deal of traveling over the last 50 plus years, so it is no small compliment to say that Rosaria is one of the very best guides we have ever had. She was knowledgeable, informative, entertaining, caring and dedicated to making sure that we had the best experience possible. Everyone in the group was charmed by her delightful personality and sense of humor. She was a big reason why our group gelled so together so comfortably. Thank you for the lovely Tour of Sicily and for sharing Rosaria with us.

MRS PERRON (USA)
We had an amazing time on the Sardinia and Corsica tour.Every hotel was wonderful.They were all clean, comfortable, and had gorgeous views.And it was great that a good breakfast was included every day. We enjoyed all the cities, towns, and sites we visited. The pace was excellent where we got to see a lot but were not totally exhausted at the end of the day! The tour guides were all fascinating and especially helpful and friendly. We learned so much! We enjoyed having the free time to explore the cities on our own, too. We had so many delicious meals that we told everyone we went on an eating vacation and did a little sightseeing, too. Our tour mates were terrific, and our bus transfers were easy and comfortable. I’m so glad I didn’t have to drive on those curvy mountain roads, but instead got to enjoy all the fabulous vistas.It was a true vacation since we didn’t have to worry about anything. We just showed up at the appointed time and everything was handled seamlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and can’t wait to take another Secret Italia tour again soon. Thanks for all you did for us, Aldo, we appreciated it so much. You exceeded every expectation in every way

MRS ROSEMARY KNIGHT (AUSTRALIA)
Ciao Aldo and Katrin
Thanks so much for the amazing tour we had. It has been absolutely enchanting and wonderful in every way. Highly recommend them. Francesca our guide astounds me. Very well informed, smart, funny and lots of fun as well as incredibly skillful at dealing with all our guides, hotels and excursions. I’ve visited Sicily twice but this time, I’ve finally understood this complex pot pouri with its convoluted history of invasion by almost everyone over the centuries. I’ve also met some enchanting new friends and had so much fun getting to know them “.Finally, I love your new information pack with maps and more details and very clear instructions for arrival and what to expect in Europe. It’s very well explained and great. You just seem to go from strength to strength and now I’m sure you can’t do better! I think I will have to find another of your tours for next year!! Francesca has me hooked.Also I thought I might send you an excerpt from an email I sent today to many friends and family. “Perhaps the most beautiful and ornate churches in the world, extraordinary seafood markets and incredible pistachio pastries and cassata gelati, home of the Mafia and amazing wineries alongside the best preserved Greek and Roman ruins in Europe. This is the contradiction and enigma of Sicily; the island of contradictions and surprises!I’ve been on another outstanding “Secret Italia” small group tour (whom I traveled with to Portugal).

LAURA BETTS (AUSTRALIA)
Dear Aldo and Katrin, Thanks so much for a my recently completed small group tour of Andalusia. This was my first visit to Spain and is the first time I’ve taken an organised tour – I truly enjoyed having someone else look after all the details! The local guides in each place we visited were exceptional as were the hotels and restaurants. Our tour leader Laura deserves a very special thank you for her personal attention and great recommendations for our free time in each place we visited. An unforgettable experience – highly recommended!

GINA MARONEY (USA) Sicily, September 2019
Thank you for an amazing trip experience.My family and I had a wonderful time.Every aspect of the trip was first class – the hotels, the transportation, the restaurants, and the ‘extras’.Andrea our bus driver was kind and friendly.Our tour guide Luca made the trip extra special! He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was prompt and kept us on schedule. His patience with us ‘old people’ was heart warming. He even sang to us several times – he has a beautiful voice – you should use him in your advertising ;-)Other things that were extra special about the trip – the local expert tour guides that were arranged for each venue were wonderful. The lunch at the local home was so special – we enjoyed talking with the Alesandro and hearing his perspective of life in and out of his town. The visit to the olive grove was breathtaking. The vineyard tour was spectacular. The food at all locations was delicious. We all really enjoyed the pistachio pasta at the vineyard and the waiter was kind enough to provide me with the recipe.Each place holds special memories for me.Thanks to you and your team, especially Luca for making this the trip of a lifetime.I hope to travel with your team again soon.

ANNETTE AND TONY LOMBARDI, USA (PUGLIA- APRIL 29,2019)
We recently returned from our trip with Secret Italia Tours in Puglia & Basilicata. We wanted to let you know that our trip from April 29th through May 10th was absolutely fabulous! We have traveled to Europe numerous times over the years, on our own and with other tour companies.Your attention to detail in planning a wonderful itinerary in every location is unsurpassed. You and your wife are to be commended for your excellence in running a very special family tour company. You deserve all of the accolades and awards you receive! Our trip was a perfect blend in each city of guided tours, fun experiences, delicious food, wine and gelato (Tony’s favorite) as well as free time. Our hotels were all delightful in their own unique way. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in every location. It was so interesting to learn new things about each area. I was delighted to realize that we were so close to where my maternal Italian relatives lived prior to immigrating to the United States. My mother’s grandparents were from Picerno and she was so excited when I told her how close we were! Tony’s parents were both from Italy, so he was able to understand and from time to time actually speak Italian! We traveled with our dear friend, Anne Browne, but made new friends in our group. We loved the small group size and were able to get to know everyone quite well. As you are well aware, our tour manager, Paola is a true gem! We had so much fun with her leading the way! She was also very helpful to us, particularly in regards to Tony’s missing luggage (unfortunately, it is still traveling the world on its own). Prior to my retirement, I was in the public sector as a manger for the State of Connecticut and had staff who worked very hard. I value the importance of having the right people to do the job. This is another testament to you as the owner of your fine company.
In closing, thank you for an amazing trip filled with a lifetime of wonderful memories and lots of funny stories! Until next time, ciao!

JANIS MACKAY (AUSTRALIA) SICILY MARCH 2019
Thank you for your thoughtfulness with the room upgrades and the welcome bottle of wine. The accommodation throughout the tour was excellent. In fact everything about the tour was excellent and March was an ideal time to visit your beloved Sicily, the weather was perfect.The tour was wonderful and Luca was outstanding in every aspect. He took care of our group in his quiet unassuming manner, gave generously of his time and nothing was too much trouble for him.At our street food experience in Ortigia severe strong winds had staff holding down the awning of the restaurant to prevent it blowing off. Following lunch we were to walk back to the hotel and although the wind had eased Luca suggested for our safety we would instead take the car back to the hotel. A couple of fellow travelers wanted to walk but Luca quietly said we would all go back by car demonstrating his professionalism in taking no chances with our safety ensuring we all got back to the hotel safely.After a discussion on the history of Sicily’s occupation and without asking him, that evening Luca had a copy of the timeline for us. This, the giving of the Mimosa flowers on Women’s Day and other acts of thoughtfulness show the care and dedication he has for his role. Luca’s knowledge, love and passion for Sicily was infectious making this a memorable tour.Until my next Secret Italia tour, my thanks again Aldo and best wishes.

MR AND MRS BATTISTA (CANADA), Sicily May 11
Andrea and I would like to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our our 12 day Land of Contrasts Sicily tour. The pace of the itinerary is just right. There was enough time allotted along the way to linger awhile and there was no sense of being rushed. At the same time the tour covered a good deal of Sicilian territory. The accommodations were appealing and certainly not “cookie-cutter” hotels. The included meal experiences were a very special feature.Transportation under the guidance of “Giovanni” was safe and sound especially along those hill hugging and curvy roads.Last but not least is the glue of the trip, the tour manager Rosaria. She is very engaging and it is clear that she enjoys her work. Despite some raining days she kept our spirits high throughout the tour. Her sense of humor was put to good use among the group.

MR ALSCHULER AND MRS HENDLER (USA)
Dear Aldo,Sorry for the delay, but we did want to let you know what a wonderful time we had on the Sicily tour last month.The itinerary was terrific – both inclusive and varied. By the end, we felt we had explored so many places, and had so many experiences that we would never been able to find on our own. The activity level for the tour was perfectly paced, with a great balance of planned activities and free time. The group lunches and dinners were all well done and delicious. Rosaria was fabulous. She was knowledgeable, well organized, warm, friendly, and concerned that each of us have the best possible experience. She gave us some great advice and watched over our food carefully to make sure that Roberta was not served anything she is allergic to. She coped expertly with unexpected problems, such as a food festival that caused an unexpected traffic and parking problem. Her pride in being from Sicily, and her joy in sharing its wonders and secrets with us was infectious, and made the whole trip special.We also appreciated how well you and Katrin run the company, both in your planning and in your correspondence with us before the tour. All in all, it was a great trip and we would definitely recommend your tour to anyone planning a trip to Sicily.
