What Our Travelers Say
Real reviews from travelers who experienced Italy with us.
Amazing Italian Christmas Experience!
“I hesitated to use a travel agent to book our trip to Italy, because I generally prefer to book/be in charge of my own arrangements. However, I was overwhelmed with all of the options/logistics in traveling with a family group of 7 on a trip involving an older parent and several stops. Alexandra helped plan our trip and was absolutely amazing! She gave many options and price ranges and we were still able to book some of our own things (an AirBnb in Venice, for example). The drivers and guides provided for us were all amazing and did a great job. Having private transfers and guides for our large group was such a relief. While in Italy, Alexandra communicated with us on a daily basis, with regular updates on our next activities/drivers/guides. I have already recommended Alexandra and Italy Vacation Specialists to several people and would not hesitate to use their services again!”
Outstanding Support and Seamless Coordination for Our Italy Pilgrimage
“Several family members had signed up for a pilgrimage to Croatia, Bosnia, and Rome this summer. When the tour didn't get enough participants, it was cancelled. I declared that we could plan our own but quickly discovered how much was involved. Then, by the grace of God, we were connected with Eleonor from Italy Vacation Specialists, my "earth angel". From our very first conversation, I knew we were in good hands. She took the time to understand our needs, responded quickly despite the time difference, and patiently helped us shape every detail of our Rome itinerary. Eleonor went above and beyond, working late nights, making countless calls on our behalf, and seamlessly adjusting plans when we made last-minute changes. I can't say enough about her dedication and integrity. She doesn't just organize trips — she creates experiences filled with grace, ease, and joy.”
Excellent travel agency
“We used this agency to plan two days of our trip to northern Italy as well as several transfers between cities. The days and events were designed with our group and interests in mind and everything was perfect! The details were communicated via email and then when we were picked up by the driver, there was a detailed itinerary waiting for us. We explored various towns, visited two different types of wineries, enjoyed a food tour and a cheese tasting. All the events were enjoyable for our whole group (adults and teens). Additionally, the driver (Paolo) that we met through this agency was amazing and so helpful. I would highly recommend this agency.”
