Italy With Pleasure emerged from a marriage of ideas (the traditional marriage came later). To explain, we need to wind the clock back to the time when the founders of the company, Antonella and Malcolm, were embarking on what became Italy With Pleasure. Malcolm was working as a winemaker in...

    Malcolm and Antonella from Italy with Pleasure organised and hosted an amazing tour of Puglia. The locations they brought us too were fantastic and our meals were superb. Both of their knowledge with regard to this region is incredible. I cannot recommend this tour and them highly enough. Ricardo who they brought on the trip to help host us was very helpful too. My wife and I will be availing of their other tours in Italy in the coming years.

    The Puglia Tour in 2018 was outstanding, as was the Sicily Tour in 2019. All of the guides are so friendly, caring, knowledgeable and passionate about their country. This love comes through in every aspect of the Tour, and transfers to the group. The accommodations, the food, and the attractions were chosen with the care deserving of the area. Because of the “small group” identity, we were introduced to highlights of beautiful Italy that would not be available to larger groups, nor would they be available to independent travelers. It provides the opportunity to “get to know” your fellow travelers and share your love for exploring. I highly recommend “Italy with Pleasure” if you are wanting to explore the history and the character of the local people. You will come away with knowledge and fabulous pictures, but more than that you will come away with the feeling of having made new friends.

    The best of Puglia tour exceeded all expectations. Small groups lend themselves to a more meaningful and personal experience. Our tour guide was excellent as were the local guides. The accommodation was great and the meals provided were delicious. The highlights were the Trulli houses and the caves in Matera. We really did see the best of Puglia and would thoroughly recommend Italy with Pleasure. Anne and John Sydney Australia We also completed the Sicily tour, and again had a wonderful time and had many interesting experiences. The cooking schools on both trips were great fun.

    The history of different civilisations over time influencing architecture, agriculture and food, have created a cultural diversity that makes Sicily a very interesting island. From the busy streets of Palermo, the cobbled uphill streets of Erice, the winding, winding road to accommodation in a monastery overlooking a ravine at Ragusa, visiting the Valley of Temples near Agrigento, and from Taormina seeing Byzantine tombs and a C2 BC Roman theatre, our experience of Sicily was very varied and rewarding.
