Services

I offer travel concierge services for those travelling to Northern and Central Italy. Do you need help finding a great hotel or restaurant? I can help you. Have you always wanted to learn Italian? I can book lessons for you. How about a food tour or an Italian cooking class? I can reserve that for you too. Italy is an amazing country with lots of great places to visit, amazing food to eat, and endless things to see and do. I love this country and my goal is to take the stress out of your vacation planning and to help you get the real Italian experience and to have the vacation of your dreams. Please contact me if you are coming to Italy and would like help planning your trip.

Some of the services we offer...

·         Food Tours

Come watch Parmigiano Reggiano be made in front of your eyes, learn about the traditional aceto balsamico, tour the local markets and try the local specialties

·         Italian Cooking Lessons

Take the flavors of Italy home with you. Learn how to roll out pasta completely by hand, how to fold tortelloni, and make delicious ragú. No one will be able to stop talking about your next dinner party!

·         Shopping Trips

Italy is famous for its fashion houses but what you might not know is there are many great outlet malls where you can get name brand items (Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabana) for a fraction of the cost.

·         Seasonal Offerings

Are you coming in the fall? It is mushroom and truffle season! There are many truffle festivals to explore. Coming in the winter? Many of the villages in the North of Italy have Christmas markets. Springtime is great for hiking. We can organize a hike to an agriturismo (farm to table restaurant) for lunch. In summer many of the piazzas in the cities and towns transform into outdoor living rooms and they host concerts and movies.  

·         Hotel and Restaurant recommendations and reservations

Do you want to know where the locals go to eat? Do you need help making a reservation because every time you call they speak at you in Italian and you have no idea what they are saying? Do you want to eat rustic Italian food? Would you like to go to one of the restaurants named by Pelligrino as the “Best Restaurants in the World”?

·         Transportation Services

Do you want to go to a remote town but cannot figure out how to get there? Is the train website not making any sense? We can help get you from point A to B.
