Travel in Italy

“Italy Trails customized our 19-day motorcycle trip from Milan to Rome in September 2025. The itinerary was designed based on our input and took us through some of the most beautiful regions of the country including Piedmont, Cinque Terre, Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, and the Amalfi Coast. The route design was perfect and the accommodation bookings were wonderful. From the pre-planning meeting through our "on-the-fly" change to extend our stay in Pompeii, Cristina was immeasurably supportive and sensitive to our needs. The provision of a phone that included the itinerary, recommended side jaunts and other experiences was a very helpful convenience. Italy Trails clearly takes passion in what they do. We will be back...there's so much more of this amazing country to explore.”

“Christina and Team made our Trip to Italy memorable and we enjoyed how everything was organised yet flexible. These guys know how to help you plan a stress free holiday whilst designing the itinerary to meet your own special needs well done Team!”

“The team at Italy Trails did an amazing job of planning and arranging our holiday. We were travelling with our very articulate, intelligent autistic grandson so we had some specific requirements. It was great to put a face to the name and meet Cristina face to face. The Android took us awhile to work out and using Whats app was also unfamiliar. We got there eventually. The accommodation in each area was perfect with a special mention to Tenuta La Santissima near Siena. Pierre was fantastic and so welcoming. The trains were challenging especially as there was a National Train Strike on the day of our first trip. It became additionally stressful when the train station staff refused to speak with travellers just telling people to "go away - no trains". The customer service booth was also unmanned and once we were on a train the attendant told us we did not have tickets for "that" train despite showing us our booking on her device. Our car hire experience was good - the location was not quite what we expected but it all worked. We had fantastic guides in each location. We especially want to acknowledge the guide from ebikes in Rome, Francesca in Florence and Rebecca in Venice. They all "got" our grandson and made our time together perfect. It was a very memorable trip for the 3 of us largely due to the work put in by the Italy Trails team - sincere thanks from us all - Jane, Rob and Leo.”

“Our experience with Italy Trails was fantastic! Because we were visiting family for a portion of the trip, we were not interested in going through a large tour group organization. Working with Cristina and her team to plan our self guided tour was perfect and provided the flexibility we needed. The accommodation choices were spot on based on our requirements. The two wine tasting locations that they scheduled were both unbelievable adventures! Franco was very responsive in resolving a situation we had when our private driver was not able to get us to the train station in Naples on time due to traffic. The use of their cell phone with everything loaded on it that you need to execute your day worked amazingly, even though we are not Android users. My only regret is that we may have tried to see too much territory which created a lot of driving. But that was our choice and next time we would adjust that. This high value trip was well worth the expense and we will definitely use Italy Trails again for our next trip to Europe.”

“Cristina helped us plan the final 9 days of a month long European adventure. After email exchanges and a Zoom meeting she developed a great understanding of our needs (we are a party of 4) and put together a perfect itinerary that included transfers, tours with local guides and perfect accommodations. Additionally, she and others were VERY responsive to questions along the way. Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Cristina did a fantastic job compiling the itinerary for our recent 33-day/32-night self-guided tour of Italy. We enjoyed planning our holiday with her and appreciated her advice and recommendations. We also appreciated Christina's care in selecting and booking our accommodation, together with car hires, train and ferry tickets and walking tours. Her assistant Franco was just a phone call away and cheerfully assisted us when required, including late one night in Florence when we accidentally triggered our bathroom alarm after the hotel reception had closed. He contacted someone from the hotel to get the alarm switched off. Thank you, Franco! We would not have seen or experienced so much had we planned this trip ourselves. Everything went according to plan. It was money well spent. Highly recommended. Thank you Cristina and team for a wonderful holiday.”

“My cousin and I booked Italy Tours for an Ancestry Exploration. We worked with Cristina who coordinated the search through a couple ancestry researchers expert in reading old Italian archives. Cristina met us at the train station/airport and helped us get our rental car. After a brief explanation of things we were on our way to Isernia Italy to find out more of where our Great Grandfather was born and what might have lead him to immigrate to the US. The whole experience was well coordinated and wonderful! If you are interested in exploring your Italian heritage, Cristina and Italy Trails is the company to choose.”
