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 AND MRS MUIR (USA), Sicily May 27
We really enjoyed the wonderful itinerary throughout beautiful Sicilia, that took us to vibrant cities, ancient towns, well protected and preserved ancient ruins – led by local guides with great insight and passion. The owner, Aldo, and his staff were available by email prior to our tour help us make arrangements. Traveling by comfortable 20 seat van, or taxied about in luxury cars, with our excellent driver, Giuseppe, and fun tour guide, Rosario, we stayed in hotels, both welcoming and lovely. We dined in fine local restaurants, enjoyed new foods and local wines. We were really shown the best of Sicily. Fun experiences of opera, boat trip around Ortigia, lunch with a local family, Etna wine tastings and more made the trip unique! This no ordinary tour. Secret Italia strives to share the local scene as the locals enjoy it, and they succeed!

MR AND MRS FLYNN (AUSTRALIA)
We have finally returned home to Australia after two months in Europe/U.K. and we would like you to know how much we enjoyed our tours with your company (Puglia/Basilicata and Sicily). Very well organized. Everything ran like clockwork. Beautiful accommodation, delicious food, interesting experiences, comfortable vehicles with excellent drivers. However, the ‘icing on the cake’ were the two tours managers, Paula and Daniela.True professionals, excellent knowledge, enthusiasm and love for their regions and a great sense of fun. If the rest of your tour managers are of the same caliber as these two ladies, you must have a very successful business. You appear to have the knack of choosing the right people and we hope you thoroughly appreciate them. We hope to travel with your company again one day.

MRS AND MRS WISE (USA)
The tour met or exceeded all our expectations. It is a 10 of 10! Having Rosaria, who is such a knowledgeable and well-organized person as our tour leader, meant that everything went very smoothly throughout the tour. Her love of Sicily is contagious. She was always one step ahead in terms of coordination and ready to provide suggestions or assistance, but also made the trip fun and interesting. All of the staff we met affiliated with Secret Italia contributed to making the trip especially enjoyable and congenial and we also appreciated the special local tour guides who enriched our experience of the site visits. The Secret Italia Land of Contrasts tours was so special because of the way the itinerary was put together and the charming hotels we were able to enjoy along the way.We appreciated the careful selection of venues and the diversity of activities in the program very much and take a hat off to you.

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!

Dear Aldo:I was on the Sicily Secret Italia tour last April. I had a fantastic time!!! I can not thank you and your staff enough for making this trip one of my favorite trips of all time. The hotels, restaurants, and daily activities were so inspiring, educational, and fun. I will never forget my trip to Sicily. I felt so at home.Roseria and Antonio (our driver) made the trip so special!!! Roseria was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional, and delightful. She has a gift of servanthood: finding restaurants & ATM machines, making reservations, helping with our confusing Alitalia flights, and so much more. Antonio was professional and pleasant. We felt so safe with him driving us around the narrow and curving roads of Sicily. Every day was an adventure for us!!! I will highly recommend Secret Italia Tours to all my traveling friends.

MRS VIRGINIA MCCORMAC (USA
Bonnie Morosi and I traveled with your tour in May and it was wonderful! Your planning and choice of hotels and sites were memorable. The lunch with Rita and Suzanne was excellent and what lovely people. Christian, our driver, was so professional and a pleasure to be with as we drove from one destination to another. Our guides were knowledgeable and informative, and I streamed 245 pictures home with typed descriptions. Coming to Sicily connected me to my heritage and I felt as though I had visited family. Thank you for the pristine planning and for checking on every day to make sure we were happy. I will visit Sicily often. I am encouraging my friends to visit Sicily and use Secret Italia tours. It was a remarkable two weeks!

Hello Aldo and Katrin,Now we are back in N Z we have been reflecting on our time in Sardinia and Corsica.I can only say it was all wonderful!Paola was such a good guide – it all seemed so well organised – even when there were small hiccups they were discreetly solved .
We thought the hotels were superb and the food was fantastic!!Loved the variety of visits from history,and archaeology to cathedrals, churches and from a personal point of view the crafts , wineries , cheese & oil production.The bus was very comfortable and the driver superb.I can’t really think of any downside ( except perhaps walking out to restaurants when tired – but we are in our 70 ‘s ).Generally it catered beautifully for a range of ages and fitness and a good amount of free time.We were very lucky with the weather and the company.
Not sure this helps you make changes.Many thanks for a great holiday with new experiences.

MR AND MRS WHITE (USA)
We were brand new to the ‘group tour’ experience. Each new day had us thinking about how selecting the Secret Italia tour was so much the right choice for this trip. We had a terrific time. The itinerary, the mix and balance each day, the choices of sites, and the pacing showed that our tour was designed with care, not merely assembled. That we were getting a sense of Sicily, not just checking off sites to see.Rosaria was a wonder for her energy, enthusiasm, and unwavering helpfulness.And for transforming a mix of cautious strangers into a group of traveling friends.
