All the tours and guides they arranged were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to find the perfect location and Hotel for entire family or group. Can't wait to start planning the next trip!
We could not have been happier with the service that Italy customized provided for us while touring Tuscany! Alberto and his staff planned the most perfect day for our family. To this day my boys still say that their favorite place is Tuscany and Alberto is their favorite Italian - we will continue to recommend IC and hope to get back to touring in the future!
From Begining to the end Alberto planned the most perfect trip for us. We still talk about it daily! Alberto greeted us in Florence. He brought us to Tuscany where we stayed at the most beautiful place we have ever been to. Pictures do not show the beauty and the warm welcome everyone gave us. We can't wait to go back to Italy we recommend Alberto to everyone and we only plan our Italian holidays with Italy customized!
This was our third trip with Italy customized. They always manage to outdo themselves. Thank you for all our wonderful memories!
Alberto planned the perfect trip for my family. They found unique tours and excursions that were interesting to my adult children and even arranged that my elderly mother got a taste of Rome, Tuscany, Venice, and Florence. Alberto even arranged for my mother to visit the hometown where my grand mother grew up. My Mother has not stopped telling everyone back home about her wonderful Italian vacation!
Italy customized put together an amazing trip for us to the Amalfi Coast. We had friendly, on-time drivers everywhere we went, a fantastic boat ride from Positano to Capri, and great guides along the Path of the Gods Pompeii, and Capri. Plus a wonderful cooking class in Capri! The trip was absolutely flawless!
Linda's knowledge of Italy in addition to the fact that she lives there and also travels throughout the country regularly is a huge plus in arranging a one-of-a-kind experience. She listens to what you desire to do and your interests. Linda is diligent in finding the right guides to match your wishes. Her experience in the travel industry and the fact that she is easy to reach if a problem arises assures that you will have an amazing trip. She takes a personal interest in her clients.
Linda arranged hotels, guides and even a very experienced art guide for us in Rome that resulted in us adding many pieces to our personal collection. She did such a fabulous job that we decided to use her services again when we returned to Italy in the Fall of 2022. We had extremely enjoyable experiences in each of the cities and guides who catered to our desires. We highly recommend Linda to plan your trip of a lifetime!
Italy Customized planned a personable family vacation that included all of our particular needs.We sent them the cities we wanted to visit and they personalized and organized everything. We mean everything so we had no worries or concerns!
Linda was great. There was attention to every detail, whether it was transportation, excursions or hotels.
I wish there was a 10 star rating! Linda gave great suggestions to maximize the 11 days and we did! She is VERY knowledgable about Italy and knows all of the special places to eat, stay and see. Without hesitation, we will call upon Linda for our next trip!
From the moment we contacted Italy Customized, we knew that our trip was in the hands of experts who knew and loved the people and the regions that we would be visiting in Italy. We had the great pleasure of meeting Linda on our very first trip to Tuscany and she immediately stole our hearts. In fact, we looked to her to help with our visits for three years in a row!
We had a great trip to Italy, in large part because of Linda‘s help. She is not only a wonderful and informative person, but a fantastic planner and guide! She introduced us to hotels and restaurants that we never would’ve found without her help. We would highly recommend Linda and Italy Customized - you simply can’t go wrong using them!
We could not have had a more wonderful Italy experience than the one planned for us by Linda and Alberto! They really listened to what we wanted and planned a number of unique experiences for the four of us. The tours were outstanding, the drivers were prompt and courteous, our dinners were booked in advance at wonderful restaurants in both Rome and Florence. As an artist, one of the highlights for me was a paper marbling class at a fourth generation store where they restore books, marble the covers, make paper, et. We visited a shop which repairs stained glass for the Vatican, picked up some beautifully designed glass pieces, picked up marble mosaic squares for projects, and much more. We stayed at terrific hotels in great locations. Linda communicated with us daily via WhatsApp and before we left Florence she met us near the Duomo and treated us to coffee /drinks. She was flexible with our schedule, adjusting when needed. The agency app provided itineraries, train tickets, instructions, names of guides, where to meet, eliminating any uncertainties. Vineyards, wine tasting, Pompeii, Villa Medici, the coliseum, the Forum, the Vatican and much more…it was a fabulous experience. Thank you Linda!
