MR AND MRS VARANI (USA), SICILY APRIL 27,2019
My husband, Jerry, and I want you to know how much we enjoyed our recent tour of Sicily (April 27-May 8). I found your company online a year or two ago and was intrigued by the “small-group” concept. I was looking for a tour of Sicily and compared your itinerary with that of Tauck (with whom we have traveled several times) and Smithsonian, and we liked the Secret Italia itinerary the best for a number of reasons. But reading about an itinerary and actually going on the trip are two different things! It was in the travel itself that we actually realized what a simply lovely itinerary you had pulled together. The hotels were all wonderful and in great locations. The restaurants you chose for lunch and dinner were very outstanding. We especially enjoyed the lunch we had with Susanna and her mother Rita at their home. Please extend our thanks to them for opening their home to us and for providing us with a wonderful meal. It had to be a lot of work for them to prepare all those courses for 15 people, but they were so gracious and welcoming to us.The local guides you selected were all top-notch and we learned so much on this trip. That’s what we love about traveling – expanding our horizons and being exposed to things/ideas that we might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn.Now about Luca! We were delighted to have Luca as our Tour Director. He is intelligent, knowledgeable, well-spoken, a capable group leader, and most important – fun and enjoyable to be with. He sang for us on occasion and that added a whole different dimension to the trip – it made it very special. We cannot say enough about how much Luca contributed to the success of the trip.And, Katrin, it meant so much to us that you were there for our welcome dinner and first day. It shows how committed you are to making sure that Secret Italia continues to have the quality that you and Aldo envision for your company. We wish you both much success and happiness in the future.

Good Morning Aldo,I am late in writing to you, for which I apologize, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for such an amazing holiday I had in Puglia. I was very impressed with your company and the professionalism in its organisation and structure. I thought the itinerary you had planned for Puglia was excellent, the choice of restaurants and places we visited were very good and especially your choice of guide, Paola an excellent guide, very organised and professional, highly knowledgeable and very nice to be with. Excellent find by you.All in all, it was a wonderful holiday thanks to you and your excellent organisational skills and I will certainly be using your company again for the Amalfi Coast and Sicily in the near future.

MR AND MRS STERLING (USA) Sicily, May 24
Sam and I would like to thank you for your wonderful Sicily Land of Contrast Tour! In 2016 we went with Paola on your Unknown Puglia and Matera Delights and we had a fabulous time. So many beautiful villages and wonderful food! We still talk about it to friends.While on that tour we met other couples who had taken your Sicily tour and highly recommended it. They were enthusiastic about recommending it, in fact! So it was on our list as a “must do”.We loved every minute of Sicily Land of Contrast! We are still basking in the memories of the beautiful sights, wonderful people, the history and the great food. Our only regret is that we wished we had more time there! We love the special touches that you provide on your tours from knowledgeable local guides to the visits for a lovely lunch at the olive oil farm (what a delightful treat!), the delicious home made lunch at the farm in Mitogio and the Palazzo visit. Such personal encounters with the “real Italy” help to make your tours so special.We have to also praise the wonderful meals at the restaurants you chose – we enjoyed and took pictures of every feast!Last but not least I want to share that we loved traveling with Luca. He was a fabulous tour leader! He helped to make this trip one of our favorites. He was very thoughtful and also quite entertaining. Luca went above and beyond helping us with things – like making reservations, sending a package home from the post office and arranging for a cab for us to go to a performance in Syracuse. He was very attentive to us all and also made sure that we were pleased with our hotel rooms – which we were, indeed! We especially loved our hotel in Taormina. We have and will continue to recommend your tours to our family and friends!

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

MR AND MRS JOHNSON (USA)
I want to take the time to let you know how much we enjoyed our small group tour in Puglia. Everything about it was wonderful……the sights, the hotels, the food and especially Paola, our guide. She was knowledgeable and always looked out for our group. But the best part was her personality and the joy she took in her work. She was always cheerful, even when we asked stupid questions, and such a crazy, fun person. You truly have a gem in her and I would love to take another tour with her. The tour was well planned, not too many hours driving and interesting activities in which we could participate. Each day seemed to be better than the last one. I would highly recommend SecretItalia Tours and plan to take another of your tours in the future. Thank you for a wonderful trip and good memories

BARBARA MCNAMARA (USA)
Aldo, As we leave Catania for Rome and the flight back to the US tomorrow, just wanted to take a moment to let you know what a wonderful time we had in Sicily. Our Guide Daniela could not have been any better; friendly, knowledgeable, and obviously well organized. She was particularly attuned to individual needs. The local guides used were also very good. We take away very fond memories of Sicily, its history, charm and its beauty thanks to Secret Italia and to Daniela

DAVID AND HILARY BIRTWHISTLE (AUSTRALIA)
My wife Hilary and I participated in the Secret Portugal tour conducted in May 2016.I have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The carefully-designed itinerary covered many of the most of historical and interesting parts of the very beautiful country. The small buses were comfortable and facilitated access to areas such as the tightly-winding roads through the terraces of the Douro where the views were remarkable. Meals provided in the wineries were excellent. All of the hotels were very good and we found travelling with a small, friendly group added to the holiday experience.Our guide Carla gave us good insights into the history and the customs and way of life of Portugal.She was an outstanding tour leader,always pleasant, nothing was too much trouble and she constantly ensured that we were doing things that we enjoyed. I really appreciated her depth of knowledge and sense of humour. Her patient explanations and stories about the country considerably added to our enjoyment of the tour
10 Days Portugal tour (May 2016)

MR AND MRS WEISSMAN (USA)
We have to thank you so much for the terrific trip! Everyone in our group agreed that the tour exceeded our expectations! It was a delight from beginning to end. The itinerary was intense but all worthwhile. Of course, as I’m sure you know, Rosaria was wonderful. She managed everything beautifully; she put all her considerable energy into making sure that all went smoothly. All the hotels were very good and the food was always excellent. We didn’t have to worry about what we would do when we were on our own for dinner because most of the time we were too full from lunch to bother with dinner. Oh, and I should mention how good Marco was–an excellent driver. One suggestion for music on the bus–add a little classical and opera. Well, thank you again. We will recommend Secret Italia highly and I’ll do a Trip Advisor piece in the next few days.
Sicily A Land of Contrasts (September/October 2017)
March 15, 2018
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!

MRS K GALLAGHER (USA)
Aldo: The trip met all of our hopes and more! Rosaria was an exceptional guide and trip organizer. She was very knowledgeable about Sicily and its history and taught us some Italian words and gestures (the gestures were the most fun!). The entire trip ran like a well oiled machine. Every detail (bags transfer, lunches, dinners, local tour guides) was precisely on time. She made it all look effortless with her patient and enthusiastic personality. She also created a very friendly atmosphere on the trip so that our group immediately bound with each other—a very important part of traveling for 12 days with new acquaintances. We will definitely (and have already) recommended this tour to friends
