Custom Travel Planning
To Everyone at Tuscany Tours ~ Grazie Mille!!
The entire Tuscany Tours team took as good care of us as you would your own family. Your travel company is, indeed, one-of-a-kind!
I recommend Tuscany Tours for the following reasons:
- You took the time to reach out to each traveler in our family of ten (ages 30’s to 70s) and designed an exciting, customized itinerary while expertly managing each of our wish lists!
- You provided us with very helpful tips and Know Before You Go information/resources
- You initiated communication mechanisms prior to even leaving on our trip, i.e. WhatsApp chat group with your in-country team during travel, the AXUS itinerary app affording us prompt access to our itinerary & documents and others.
- To have our personalized itinerary unfold seamlessly, considering all its 'moving pieces,' is a testament to your teams' efficacy and ongoing attention to detail.
- Surely 'things happen' along the way, like . . .train strikes, tour modifications, weather, wanting to visit places longer, opting to cancel an event, help with orchestrating surprises along the trip . . . BUT . . . No Worries! . . . You were on top of everything, looking out for us in the present, as well as ahead in our travels, adjusting our schedule accordingly. You were promptly reachable for ANYTHING that came up and any issues were promptly addressed.
- Every piece of the itinerary was top-notch e.g. hotels, tour options, tour guides, restaurants, transportation.
This was an AWESOME adventure with experiences far-reaching beyond your outstanding itinerary!
We would love to travel with you again. Until next time, stay healthy and well!!
Ancora, grazie a tutti!

See the trip we planned for the Lovotti family through the eyes of Mr. Joe Lovotti – an amazing photographer!
Just wanted to let you know how very happy we were with the whole experience. This was our first time with a guided vacation and we will never go back!
We saw the awesome value in the private tours. All the guides were just Great. They were sooo qualified and were incredibly enthusiastic. The Palio trial race was a fantastic highlight.
The overwhelming winner of Wine Tastings was the one on the Amalfi Coast. Everyone we met was an owner or a family member. They were cooking food for us.
They were so sincere and proud of their winery. The setting was intimate and beautiful. And of course, the wine, olive oil and Grappa were great. I toasted our safe arrival home with their Grappa! Our favorite spot was Anacapri, although Tuscany was amazing as well. Every Transfer was on time, professional and friendly. Love the Travel App. All hotels were perfect for us with great staff. I really hope to get back to some of them in the future. We’re already thinking about France for next fall!

Travelers Celebrating Milestones
Gloria’s Birthday Extravaganza
Dear All,
Our family all got back last night from an amazing week+, thanks to all of you. The hotel the first night, activities, guides, sights, food, restaurants, bus drivers (in short, everything) could not have been better. And the arrangements all occurred seamlessly - everyone you had arranged were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. If there was any confusion, we never knew it!
The bus driver was not only a wonderful driver on those twisty mountain roads, but a really nice person who went out of his way to be sure we had a good time. Fede was a terrific guide who also kept an eye out for the 11-14 year old boys and kept them amused when needed. Fortunately, that wasn't often. Also, for the arranged meals, vegetarians were accommodated well.
Aside from the mind blowing scenery, the weather was perfect, day after day. We had a little rain one day that I barely remember. The bike ride was fun - beautiful day, great scenery and all downhill. Bill was an excellent facilitator.
Thank you also for the candy and prosecco, both appreciated and delicious. Also, we loved the villa, which was enormous and amazing. If you have any questions or want to use me as a reference, don't hesitate to call.
Warm regards,
Gloria
Pranav’s 40th
When we were asked to help plan a 40th birthday week for Pranav, we had no idea how amazing the week would be.
Take the generosity and creativity of his family and their affection for each other and mix in the Tuscany Tours Team and the week was magic.
Thank you for a truly amazing trip!! I think we all have withdrawal symptoms!!
Pam and Karen and the entire Tuscany tours team arranged an amazing trip for us in Tuscany. They planned things to the smallest details which ensured that we as a family enjoyed the trip.
I would strongly recommend Tuscany tours due to the dedication, passion and commitment of each of their team members.
Families
The Nunan Family
Chuck and Chris Nunan traveled with Tuscany Tours on a number of public tours. As we had become big fans of theirs, we were thrilled when they asked us to plan a trip for their family.
We had the most amazing time in Italy! Without Pam’s top notch team of tour guides, restaurant stops and first-class accommodations, we simply would not have had the same experience. We were completely immersed into Italian culture, and actually felt like a local in another country! We cannot recommend Tuscany Tours highly enough! When we go back to Italy, they will be the first people we call. – Rosie Nunan
When, we travel with Tuscany tours, they make is seamless. Great attention to details. – Chuck Nunan
We were blown away by the attention to detail. We can honestly say everyday was a gift just waiting to be opened. – Kim Williams
It was a wine lovers DREAM! We felt like family everywhere we went & we won’t travel with anyone else but Tuscany Tours to Italy. – Nan Lovell Nunan
Couples
Carolyn and Mike also started out on our public tours and then wanted us to plan some private trips. Caroline’s thank-you is one of our favorites ever.
I wanted to write, and thank you for planning our wonderful trip to Paris and Provence.
As usual, Shauna did an amazing job! Our time in Paris was wonderful and we loved our guide. She was so friendly and very knowledgeable. If I lived there, I would like to be her friend. I will never forget our little apartment you found for us in Eze (a place, by the way, I had never heard of) having our breakfast laid out for us by the owner on the main floor every morning, while we slept on the second floor, was priceless. After eating, we would ascend to the third-floor roof top deck, to look out over the Mediterranean, and at night watch the stars and fireworks.
I will always be indebted to my husband, Michael, you and Sam, for the amazing introduction to foreign travel you have given me. Your Best of Tuscany Tour opened my eyes to a vast world.
The trip you planned for us to Rome, Amalfi Coast, and the apartment in your incredible village will always be the Gold Standard for all other trips! I have so many amazing memories because of you and your team.
Thank you for showing me the world, in so many ways!
Warmest Regards Always,
Carolina

The ambassadors and door-opening-locals you must meet! Our guides engage you. They are not lecturers but "connectors” whose knowledge of their subject is deep and who connect you to the stories of history and the places you are visiting. They can also tell you where the best gelato is!
Activities
Cooking Schools, small family winery visits, truffle hunting, private dining rooms and roof-top palaces, local musicians of all varieties who can play for your special birthday or anniversary or just-for-fun trips. Occasionally you’ll run into local characters as well!
Exceptional Lodging
Whether you want a villa, a castle, a boutique, a top luxury hotel or a family run hotel, we have our favorites and the owners know us well and treat our travelers with great care.
