MR AND MRS DUNN (USA), Calabria & Puglia tour May 2019
Hi Aldo: Don and I returned from Italy on Sunday. We had the most wonderful time.Thank you for such a great trip. Everything was so perfect . You have put a lot of work into guaranteeing such an experience.All the hotels were amazing, food beyond amazing, and tours exceptional.We felt your presence every step of the way.Our pre trip to Calabria was also great. The family that owned the hotel(Barber) treated us as if we were part of their family and took very good care of us. The guides were fun – mother for 1/2 day tour and then her son for the next day all day tour. Thank you for checking in on us while we were there.I must say Paula, not sure how to spell her name, our guide was the best guide we have every had and we have traveled all around the world.. Europe, Asian countries, African Countries,South American countries, etc, etc.etc.all the Every time we praised her she thanked us and always gave you and Katrina credit. She said she was just the face on the trip but the real praise goes to both of you. How many people do you know would do that.?? She was very humble and everybody loved her.Also would you mail us your catalog of all of your trips. I understand that there may be two more trips not in catalog which Paula passed around on the van one day. We are thinking of taking a river cruise to Provence,France and would like to go to Normandy as well. We are not interested in Paris as a pre or post trip since we have been there many times.Gracie, Grazie, Grazie – Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

MR AND MRS MOON (AUSTRALIA)
Our tour of Puglia and Basilicata was perfect. The itinerary, accommodation and transport were excellent. The included meals were great but as always on Secret Italia tours we ate too much! Even the weather was perfect with warm sunshine every day. Then there was our guide, Paola. We knew from the first friendly greeting we had a treasure here. She shared her considerable knowledge with enthusiasm and ensured our tour ran smoothly. Her warmth and humour were contagious and by the end of our tour she had become not just a wonderful guide but a real friend. We have recommended Secret Italia Tours many times and will continue to do so. Our extension to Altomonte in Calabria was a delightful surprise. The little hill town is set in beautiful country close to the Pollino National Park. Our three night stay in the family run Hotel was faultless. Our room was large and comfortable with a view to the old town with its castle and cathedral. The family have a passion for local food and culture and a commitment to fresh local produce much of which comes from their own garden. With great food and excellent service the hotel is definitely a place we would recommend. The day trip to Albanian villages of the Pollino National Park also provided surprises. The scenery was spectacular and the villages fascinating.

MR AND MRS REYNOLDS (USA) PORTUGAL Sept 28,2019
Here is our review or our recent trip with Secret Italia to Portugal.We were on the 9/28/19 trip.We were again impressed with another of your tours.I know all of our fellow travelers were impressed, and I believe you will get some repeat customers from our group. It was a 10 in our book.Great hotels, included meals, excursions with local tours, drivers, and transfers.The pace was good, and I felt we had a decent amount of time to get a feel of Portugal.Luisa is a real gem.Great person, and excellent at her job.We will never forget her. Your tour leaders have been unbelievable.Thanks again for a great program. You should e very proud of the company you have. We will certainly come again in the future. Ever thought about Croatia? It seems it might be a great spot, as it is on everyone’s bucket list these days.

MR AND MRS HORNE (USA) Portugal May 28
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Portugal and have been telling all of our friends about it. How special it was that Katrin was in Lisbon and spent some time with us. Typically, you do not meet the owners of a tour company. It was a wonderful personal touch that is much appreciated. We loved the fact that we went to some of the less tourist places and had an opportunity to take time to experience Portugal and not just look at all of the well-known tourist sites (even though we saw them all as well). We thoroughly enjoyed all of the meals that you provided–especially the Quinta in Evora–they were all top-notch. It was a wonderful opportunity that you just don’t get on traditional group tours. We were grateful to have some time on our own to explore and have meals. Great balance! Our guide Isabel was fantastic. She kept us on schedule; yet, we never felt rushed. She even managed the two tour members that had difficulty walking in a way that didn’t cost the rest of us too much time in waiting for them. The extras that you included were much appreciated. We enjoyed the olive oil tasting in Evora, the lunch in a convent, and the dinner at the convent hotel in Evora. The fact that everyone on the tour seemed happy and didn’t complain had to be due to the careful planning, the wonderful meals, the lovely accommodations, and an outstanding guide.As a result, we are even more excited about our upcoming trips to Puglia and Sicily than we were before we experienced Portugal.

MR AND MRS DEMARINO (USA)
Our trip to Sicily, thanks to you and Rosaria was wonderful!To be a good traveler one has to be able to roll with those glitches that pop up. Your trip had zero glitches and went as a well planned and executed quality experience.Our local guides and Rosaria were high caliber, knowledgeable and charming. Everywhere we went the people were incredibly warm.This is our second trip with Secret Italia and we enthusiastically praise your standards. Feel free to use us as a reference. We would love to meet you one day too! But until then Thank you for making us another memorable trip

MR AND MRS KOVACS (USA) Sardinia & Corsica, May 25
Ciao Aldo,This has been a wonderful experience….we have enjoyed every day, each city we visited and certainly the amazing cuisine. Last night our dinner in the hills of Bastia was a perfect ending…quite a special place.The trip was enhanced by the attention to detail of Piero..he has a very pleasant personality and his singing and guitar playing was an added bonus. Gigi, too, was very nice.

MR AND MRS HUXLEY (USA) Portugal and Madeira Island, May 2019
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent tour of Portugal with our small congenial group of 12 and Isabel, our outstanding tour guide.She was very patient with the variety of personalities and abilities our group, and she adapted readily to any changes that were necessary.Personally it was an additional treat to have Katrin with us for a few days and get to know her. The two of you make a great team!Portugal has a rich history in addition to a varied and beautiful natural landscape. Isabel, having lived here most of her life, is very skilled in bringing this all to life with her extensive knowledge of Portugal’s political and cultural history, as well as the current environment in Portugal. She was able to address every topic we asked about.Our bus drivers were very good especially Sergio, who was with us for for two thirds of the trip. He was always prompt and exceptionally attentive, always standing outside the bus to help us on and off, and was a very careful driver! I would highly recommend him.The itinerary was well thought out, our accommodations were excellent, and there were great meals arranged with interesting wines. All these factors came together to provide a small group tour that exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend the Portugal tour.Our trip to Madeira Island was a real treat as well as having our own private driver/guide Aurelio. He has spent his life on Madeira and willingly shared his deep knowledge and understanding of the history and culture of the island. His knowledge of local plants and all things botanical is amazing. He was very helpful in getting us oriented, taking us to many significant viewpoints and providing us with useful information on points of interest we could explore at our leisure.We would highly recommend Aurelio as a guide and careful driver.Madeira Island is an amazing place to visit, both for its physical beauty and its relaxed atmosphere. The Quintinha Såo Joāo was a very nice hotel situated in a neighborhood with a reasonable downhill walk into town. The food service was very good for all meals with an amazing wine selection, and the wait staff was exceptionally personable. Our most memorable experience was the trip to Eira do Serrado, when we drove above the clouds and walked to the spectacular viewpoint high above the valley…it felt like we were in the Alps.We highly recommend the tour to Madeira Island.

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.

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!

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.
