    My family and I had the best time on this tour. Stunning location, amazing food and the perfect atmosphere for yoga practice. Antonio took really good care of us, sharing his insightful knowledge of the area, and Susanna cooked the most delicious food for us. I will never forget her homemade vegetarian lasagna. Jairo was an incredible yoga teacher, always listening to our needs and requirements. The best yoga and cooking holiday in Italy!

    The tour of Puglia and Basilicata exceeded our expectations. We knew from prior tours with Caspin Journeys that it would be another great adventure. However, this one was extraordinaire from the villages and towns we visited to the very unique and posh hotel accommodations and incredible meals we enjoyed. The walks were gorgeous and vistas spectacular. It was yet another trip of a lifetime with two amazing tour professionals who excel at every aspect of what they do. We're already planning our next adventure with them!

    Our second trip with Caroline and Pino; they have become wonderful friends. All accommodations and meals were carefully thought out and very comfortable; the walks were interesting and scenic, and a couple of them were enhanced by prearranged guides who supplemented what Caroline and Pino could tell us about the site or region. We recommend this week-long trip enthusiastically.

    Not only smooth-as-silk perfect but delightful beyond expectation. An insider's look at Italy and the feeling of being one of the family.

    Caspin Journeys is truly a unique travel experience. Caroline and Pino's attention to detail and personal touches showed in every aspect of our journey. Being a small group allowed us to travel in their comfortable, roomy touring van. They chose beautiful unique boutique hotels. The food was delicious local classic cuisine accompanied with great wines. Their knowledge of the area and the balance of activity and sightseeing was great. We were also lucky to be accompanied by their newest addition to their company their son, Antonio. We had a terrific time and can see why everyone in our group had either travelled with them before or were referred by friends that had. I look forward to choosing another trip with them!

    The Pulia and Matera walking tour was a wonderfully different experience. This area of Italy does not have the hundreds of tourists buzzing around that one will find in Rome. Our walking tour took us through beautiful countrysides to see trulli homes, along beaches by the aquamarine Adriatic Sea and through ancient, giant olive tree groves. Our favorite, however, was the magical area of Matera. The night view takes your breath away and the history of this area is extremely interesting. Hiking in Matera is an emotional experience and one that we will never forget! Our guides, Pino and Caroline, not only took us to areas we would never have found on our own, but they picked beautiful and unique b&bs and farmhouses for us to stay...not to mention the delectable meals! They really think of everything!!!

    They were totally professional and well prepared for any eventualiy. I loved all the walks. This was my second trip with Caspin and I must comment on the term walk. These walks are not a stroll down Rodeo Drive. Having said that I'm 76 years old and active. The walks were perfect. The prior trip was Sicily and was great. If you like great food and great companions go with Caspin.

    Best vacation ever! Loved the small group experience. Caroline and Pino planned everything down to the smallest detail. Beautiful, out of the way hotels in ancient historic towns. Incredible food and delicious wines. We liked sitting back and being passengers in their 10-12 person , very comfortable minivan.
