Testimonials
MR AND MRS CRANDALL (USA)
We could not have been more pleased with our 12 night + one night vacation to Sicily. The arrangements made by your company were perfect. Everything seemed to flow seamlessly from day to day and tour to tour. Every detail of our days events was well planned and organized. We felt very comfortable in every hotel, happy with our meals, satisfied with our day trips and especially happy with our tour guide, Rosaria. She is a talented asset to your company. She was gracious, informative, flexible, fun and accommodating. We felt as if she was just as excited as we were to be discovering Sicily. The extra day trip to the small town of Longi was perfect. Manuela was a treasure to have assist us in locating information about my Grandfather. The first stop was town hall where we had been expected to arrive by the officials. We were given copies of official documents and gifts from the town of Longi. Manuela was our true link between the people of Longi and us as she interpreted our questions and answers. She, too, was excited to help us make a family connection.We would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. We would love to think that we may be able to do another tour with Secret Italia sometime in the future.Thank you for all the extra detail you put in to making this trip one of the best adventures we have ever had. We loved every minute of it.

MR AND MRS ILIFFE (AUSTRALIA), Sicily 12 days October 2019
We had a wonderful tour with Luca! Everything, from the itinerary, the hotels, the experiences, the excellent driver Giuseppe, and of course the beautiful Luca, was all that one could wish for in providing an excellent overview of Sicily for first-time visitors.We are glad that we travelled with Secret Italia and will recommend it to others.

MR AND MRS ELIPORI (USA), Puglia & Basilicata October 2019
My husband and I were searching the internet for a small group tour specifically covering the Puglia region of Italy when we came across Secret Italia Tours. Their Puglia/Basilicata itinerary fit the bill perfectly but we were at first hesitant to book the trip because Secret Italia was very small compared to the bigger and more well-known tour companies out there. After reading reviews and speaking personally with Aldo by phone several times, not only did we book the Puglia tour, Aldo also worked with us to put together a private four day add-on tour of the Amalfi coast. We just got back a week ago and can honestly say it was one of the most wonderful travel experiences we have ever hadAll accommodations were in small boutique hotels located in or very close to the city center.In addition to breakfast, included meals each day, either a lunch or a dinner, highlighted the specialties of the region and left us all quite full and very happy! From the olives, cheeses and Salumi, to the grilled vegetables, fresh pastas and seafood, pizza, taralli, and luscious desserts, we were simply in food heaven!While we stayed in four different cities, we also visited many small towns along the way with ample free time for exploring. There were also wine tastings, an olive oil tasting, a hands-on bread-making experience, Sunday dinner at a family-run working farm, and a cheese making demonstration, among other things, which were all informative and fun.Our trip was made even more enjoyable by Paola, our guide. Not only was she very well-organized, professional, knowledgeable, warm and friendly, she also had a wonderful sense of humor. Truly a delight to be with!All other elements of the trip like transfers to/from airport or train station, luggage handling, bus transport throughout the tour, communications regarding payments, final itinerary and other pertinent info, were all excellent. During our separate personalized Amalfi tour, the outstanding service continued with great drivers and tour guides as we visited Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Sorrento and Pompei. Aldo checked in with us daily to make sure everything was perfect!If you’re thinking about using Secret Italia Tours for your next vacation, don’t hesitate another moment. You will NOT be disappointed!

M CANTER (USA) Sicily, September 2019
I have just returned from one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. After traveling through Italy for over forty years, I thought that I had seen and done it all. Secret Italia and Luca proved me wrong.I did the 12 day Sicily “Land of Contrasts” with many members of my extended family. I chose this because it had an excellent itinerary, including all of the important sites. The hotels were just beautiful, not touristy. The food was amazing. It was so authentic and well chosen. When we visited the important archaeological sites in addition to having Luca’s extensive knowledge, we had a local guide who was always an academic.The amount and diversity of the content that was contained in these twelve days was incredible.Best for last. Our amazing tour director-What an amazing young man. He kept our tour running smoothly for twelve days.He was so smart. He was so charming. He was so genuine.We were all very sad when the tour ended. It was like a dream.

MR AND MRS MITCHELL (USA), Sicily small group tour Sept/Oct 2019
My husband and I would like to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour of Sicily.The choice of cities and the variety of activities was excellent! We love the outdoors and enjoy walking and hiking tours and felt we were given enough opportunities for that.The cities we visited were lovely and we enjoyed most all of the selected hotels.We loved the size of the group and it was conducive for making close friendships.I’d also like to tell you how much we enjoyed Luca, our tour guide. Luca was such a pleasure to be around and often entertained us with his beautiful voice.He was very organized and the tour progressed with no incidents.The buses, taxis, scheduled meals and other events were all ready for us when we arrived with no delays.We felt Luca had excellent people skills and planning skills and is a real asset to your company.We are so happy to have met him!The mixture of Canadians, Australians and Americans made the group both enjoyable and interesting.We also felt that the group size gave the tour of Sicily an intimate feel. We believe that tour is a great value for your dollar! We hope to take another Secret Italia tour in the future.

MRS BLACKSTONE (CANADA), SICILY MARCH 2019
I wanted to write and let you know how much we enjoyed Secret Italia’s tour of Sicily earlier this month.It has been my dream to visit the island for some time now, but I must say the tour exceeded our expectations, not only because we were surprised at the breadth and beauty of both Sicily’s landscape and its fascinating history, but also because your choice of restaurants and other interesting venues helped give us an in-depth perspective on the local foods, wine and people of the island.Being strangers to the area and not speaking the language, it’s something we could not have done on our own. The time we spent there was jam-packed with activity, which is something we look for in a vacation, and we came away full of great memories.Finally, I’d like to say how much our guide Luca added to the experience. We felt like royalty as he took care of all the things – such as drivers, local guides and restaurant reservations – that often make visiting a new country a confusing and sometimes harrowing experience. Luca’s extensive knowledge of the island’s history and culture, his clear communication about where we were going or why plans might have to change, as well as his fun and friendly personality, made us all fall in love with him, something you warned us would happen in one of your pre-tour information reports!We surely will recommend Secret Italia’s Sicily tour as a terrific way to enjoy this part of the world.

MR AND MRS WISE, USA -Andalucia tour, September 2019
Let me convey how much Charles and I enjoyed the Secret tour of Andulucía and Southern Spain. There were so many special highlights and fabulous lunches and dinners. The tour offered such a nice combination of well situated charming boutique hotels that give you a sense of life in a different place and time as well as marvelous luxury hotels. So many delicious dinners, lunches and food experiences offered a real delight of tastes and flavors, plus the outstanding sherry and wine tastings. It was a congenial group of veteran Secret travelers guided by the lovely Laura.We were delighted with Ronda and so glad it was included in the itinerary. Lovely hotel with astonishing view and what a great local guide we had there too.Too many highlights to mention each but the sherry winery tour at Gonzalez Byass in Jerez was terrific and what fine sherries we sampled! The cooking class for paella was absolutely the best– even though it was also fun to learn how to make marzipan and we’ve had some great experiences making bread, pizza and pasta on other Secret tours. Charles thought the Equestrian Performance in Cordoba was the best of all. For me, hard to choose one from this tour but I must say the Flamenco performance in Sevilla took my breath away as did the many architectural wonders we saw. We were so lucky to be in Cordoba to see the incredible religious processions, just an extraordinary added bonus.

MRS L BOGAARD (USA),Portugal tour Sept 28,2019
A friend and I toured Portugal with Secret Italia at the end of September and beginning of October. We were blessed to have wonderful weather everyday, with clouds/ fog only on a few mornings when up north in the mountains and along the coast.Our guide, Luisa, was very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, patient, etc.The local guides were also very good and informative.Sergio,our friendly, main driver was excellent, especially on those winding, narrow roads going up and down the mountains.I enjoyed the variety in the itinerary—the normal “tourist “ spots, but also the smaller, out-of-the-way, but very interesting places.Appreciated being introduced to a place and then having some time to explore on our own.I learned a lot about the history, and culture of Portugal, including wine, olive oil, and cork production . The provided meals were delicious.Appreciated Luisa making arrangements to get some of the local sweets for us to try and enjoy without having to battle long lines of other tourist and locals.Liked being able to spend at least two nights in each hotel.They were luxurious—more than I would usually book on my own—centrally located, and provided a wonderful variety for breakfast each morning.In other words, yes, I would recommend the Secret Italia Portugal Small Group Tour.

MRS GLORIA FOX (USA)
Arthur and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Sicily! The choice of itinerary, locations to stop and places to see were perfectly chosen. A trip, however, is more than beautiful places and delicious food. It was our wonderful tour guide, Rosaria, who drew the group together, took good care of our needs and was cheerful and good natured and enthusiastic throughout the trip. She communicated her love of Sicily and allowed us to experience the island through her eyes. Marco was an excellent and patient driver. He and Rosaria were a good team! The city guides were all very good. We loved every thing we saw, temples, archaeological sites, Opera House, cities, hill towns. We especially enjoyed the vineyard and home visits, because they afforded an opportunity to spend time with Sicilians in different walks of life.We cherish our happy memories of Sicily with Secret Italia and Rosaria and will recommend it enthusiastically.

Hello Aldo, I hope you are recovering well from our tour and enjoying time at home with your family. Since I returned to work I have been raving about the tour! You run an excellent operation. All of the details are mastered and that makes it go so smoothly. We fully enjoyed both islands and all of the experiences. We can even get Sardinian Cannonau and Monica at the nearby wine store! Again, thanks for making it great.
