- CBChris· April 19th, 2024The tour exceeded our expectations with its attention to detail and thorough planning. The key to this was our fantastic tour leader Flavio Lazzaretto, who constantly created pleasant surprises on our journey to the delight of our touring party. We enjoyed the pace of the tour, the backroads, lesser known places and exposure to the real everyday Italy!Show moreTrip date: April 2024
Flavio· April 17th, 2024Wonderful trip and great guiding by FlavioTrip date: April 2024- JJanHendrikMoen· November 9th, 2019Italian 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.Show more
