    Wonderful trip and great guiding by Flavio

    Italian Indulgence Tour, Rome to Venice, 6th to 17th October 2019 My husband and I, know Italy quite well, however Flavio was able to deepen our love for his beautiful country, through his passion and knowledge of all things Italian. Whenever possible the tour used back roads, which is the best way to see the diversity of the countryside. We stayed in a splendid villa in Tuscany, a monastery converted into a luxurious hotel and many fine hotels during our tour. Our small group of fourteen, represented four nationalities but Flavio skilfully enabled each person to have a unique and pleasurable experience. Flavio also went out of his way quite often to assist members with problems not associated with the tour. Through the busy and congested roads of Italy, we relied on our capable driver Augusto to reach our destination safely.

    An outstanding tour through wonderful areas of Italy led by a most informative guide who is passionate about his homeland and food. You cannot help but learn so much and enjoy great food and wine as you travel. Flavio ensures each person enjoys their experience by paying attention to each individual as well as the tour group as a whole. He is well organised and very adaptable. A tour with Flavio is a true experience and one to be cherished. Great memories.

    We felt as though we were important to the tour. Flavio was very accommodating if you had a personal interest that you wanted satisfied. You saw a great deal but never felt totally exhausted. Wonderful mixing of people.
