10 Days of Amazing Memories!
This trip was absolutely amazing, and Angela was the reason why. She expertly guided us through Rome and Sorrento, allowing us to deeply explore the local culture, food, and streets. Angela managed all the planning and handled any unexpected issues with ease. It allowed us to simply relax and enjoy every moment.
We were so fortunate to spend 10 days with her; she made the experience stand out. The fact that we all instantly missed her when we got home says it all. Angela is truly one of the most amazing people you could have as a guide!

Paul and I are sitting at the airport waiting for our flight and we are recapping our trip.
We wanted to thank you both for helping us pull off our dream trip. We had the best time and the people and the food were remarkable!!
Henry, saying thank you doesn’t really seem like enough. We loved getting to know you and you helping us navigate Italy was invaluable.
Angela, we were so happy to finally meet you and Joe and ur Itinerary was “perfecto”.
Tuscany and Cortona have my heart.❤️
We Loved getting to meet and know all the wonderful people you introduced us to, Francesco from La Massarria , I will dream of that property for some time. He and his girlfriend couldn’t be more accommodating.
Elena, at our first wine tasting
( Terra San Vito) she was so warm and kind. We had a lot of fun that day and got to meet really sweet people from all over.
Francesco and his amazing food and wine pairing. He is very gifted🤗The restaurant was spectacular and we learned so much about olive oil! We shipped some home. 🤗
We enjoyed Elisa and Alessandro hospitality and to welcome us into their home was so kind. I think they got a kick out of Paul and his cooking skills😳🤣
Rome was full of energy and history and more amazing food. We tried to get it all in but the truth is you can’t so we will just need to come back!!!
Angela, thank you again!

We had a great time. All our events were timed and arranged perfectly and along with Henry as our guide and driver were most enjoyable. Our favorites were the Michlin meal at Il Falconaire and the winery tasting and lunch on the way to Florance. Ripa. Also can't forget our cooking class with Ilaria, who was so bubbly and entertaining.
Looking forward to another trip soon.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime.
Planning, execution were all exceptional. Angela, Henry, and Stefania treated us like family. We felt that every excursion and meal captured the authenticity of each area of Italy that we traveled to. Cannot wait to plan our next trip with Antico Italian Travel.
