Testimonials
MRS L WISE, USA Malta November 2019
Thanks so much to you and Katrin for making time to meet us in Valletta. It was such a treat for us to meet in person and enjoy a delicious meal together. We look forward to many future tours with Secret.Before we leave Malta, I wanted to tell you how pleased we all have been with this tour. It certainly exceeded our expectations.The hotels were deluxe and excellent,the food experiences were marvelous from the ftira and pastizzi street food to the flavorful and varied lunches and dinners.The sights of Gozo and Malta were just extraordinary.Everything went smoothly.We saw and learned so much about the islands’ rich and unique history and culture.I can’t imagine a tour leader who could have more knowledge of or passion for these islands than Cynthia –from the prehistoric neolithic temples through the islands’ long history and modern times. At the same time, she was flexible, attentive to detail, and considerate of group members making a great experience for all.Charles and I compliment Secret again on putting together such a diverse and interesting itinerary. It was a wonderful experience for us.

Aldo and Katrin,Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful tour of Puglia and Basilicata I undertook in September / October this year. The itinerary, organisation, accommodation and the food experiences were fantastic, made all the more enjoyable by your host the irrepressible Paola. She is an absolute gem and fun, fun, fun. Just more evidence of the care and attention you have taken in designing your tours.Your tour also offers so much value as there were several times when as a group we were so satisfied with included lunches etc. that we did not feel the need to outlay a lot for the meals that were nominated at our expense.After having toured all over Italy the past 3 years I am now planning to tour Portugal and Andalucia and after my wonderful Puglia experience I would like to do that with your company.With your Portugal tours being so heavily booked for 2019 I am considering 2020, and hopefully your program for that year will be structured in a way that it will be possible to do both tours back to back without too long a break in between. I will continue to watch your website and perhaps you could also keep me in mind and give me an early reminder when your 2020 program is finalized

Just completed the amazing Sardinia and Corsica tour with Secret Italia. Many many thanks to Aldo for this wonderful experience and his endless energy and cheerfulness to make this trip go off without any problems. The sites, accommodations, restaurants, size of the group and pace was top notch – way surpassed my expectation. He made sure all of the details were to your satisfaction. Thanks also to Ricardo for guiding us and Stefano for driving us around Sardinia. And to Sandy for driving us to our destinations in Sardinia.I highly recommend this tour with Secret Italia. It’s well worth it.

Dear Aldo, Please know that my recent tour of Sicily with Rosaria was wonderful!!!She was such a lovely person to deal with and took very good care of us all. She was quite knowledgeable about the country and all the beautiful sights we saw.I am telling all my friends here in the US about your tour company and would hope I can return to Italy myself one day soon and I would gladly use your tour company! Being of Italian decent ( Naples) I enjoyed all the food and wines of Sicily and was amazed how beautiful it was. Please send my regards to her and thank you for all your work planning and setting up this tour.The hotels were perfect and the service was outstanding.Best wishes for continued success with Secret Tours.

MR AND MRS PATERSON (UK)
Hi Aldo,Just back from our tour of Sardinia and Corsica. Yet another great trip. All the hotels were lovely. We really liked both the owner and the amenities of the Palazzo in Oristano and would happily stay there again. As for our beautiful room in Ajaccio. I felt so spoilt! Wish I had extended the tour to take in Calvi. A couple more days would have been perfection. Piero was a great guide, very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm for the history of his country. All learnt a great deal from him.In all another triumph. Cannot wait for the next one!

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.

MR AND MRS ROWELL, NEW ZEALAND Portugal tour Sept 28,2019
Forgive my not writing earlier but we have only just returned to N Z after an extended trip in Europe when we were lucky enough to be participants in Secret Italia Portugal Tour.We had some hesitations booking a tour with Secret Italia as your company is not well known in New Zealand however after doing extensive research including Reviews ,hotels & sites visited we went ahead & booked your Sept.18-28 tour.There is only one word to cover our experience.SUPERB!! In every respect!!Isabel ,our guide,was knowledgeable,professional& ,personable in fact she went above & beyond the expectations that can be made of any tour guide.Little requests made by members of our group were met with an affirmative answer & inevitably she achieved what was requested.She even offered to do things that had not been requested!!It was very obvious,Aldo,that you have spent a lot of time & effort to search out worthwhile experiences for your tour participants.The accommodations were above our expectations as were the restaurants where we ate as a group.The food was delicious & excellent wines were generously dispensed!!We particularly enjoyed our experience at the lovely Quinta & our delightful hostess.It was very special!!Another plus was the comfortable & modern mini bus in which we traveled with excellent drivers.An added bonus was being able to charge devices in the bus!!Part of the reason for my choosing this tour of Portugal was the small size of the group(13)plus the fact that we stayed 2-3 nights at each overnight stop.Our group was one which mixed really well,we had fun together & I am sure Grant & I will keep in touch with several members.Hopefully they’ll come & visit us in N Z!!We will definitely recommend Secret Italia Tours to all our friends plus we will be on the lookout for any tours you might add to your collection.Once again,thank you so much for particularly memorable experiences with Secret Italia.

MR AND MRS TYNDALL (CANADA), Sardinia & Corsica September 2019
Aldo, our first experience with Secret Italia was amazing in every way! The hotels were wonderful; small, intimate, clean, and unlike the large chain hotels that big tours go to. The meals that you provided were an experience in itself! We have travelled all over the world, mostly on our own. So we were very grateful for the care that Paola and Luca provided!Paola was truly a most amazing guide. Professional, knowledgeable, polite and patient. She is a tribute to your business and I hope you continue to use her as a guide.

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!

MRS EGGLESTON, USA Sicily tour October 19
My wife, Carmen Eggleston, and I completed a Secret Italia Tour of Sicily with Luca Mangano as our tour guide. Our tour started October 5th and ended October 17th, 2019. I would like to complement Luca as being a very professional and personable tour guide. All of the 13 people on the trip commented about Luca being very good and very dedicated to giving us a great tour. He really enjoyed showing us his country and seemed genuinely excited to show us a great time.The group of 13 of us talked about doing another Secret Italia tour in the near future but especially if Luca could be our guide. He looked up his planned trips for 2020 and gave us information regarding them. He has followed up with us since we have been back at our homes with photos of our group.We feel that Luca has done a great job of representing Secret Italia Tours and we look forward to seeing him again on another tour.
