"Vineyards, /wine tasting/, Pompeii, the /Colosseum/, and much more…"

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!

"We /loved/ every hotel, /dining/ and touring experience."

We were referred to Linda at Italy Customized, and could not be happier with our experience. The guides were all outstanding and VERY knowledgeable about every detail. Linda texted us daily with our guide for the day and meeting spot. Although we already had the information, it was a lovely touch.Italy Customized is the perfect name, because we had a truly customized experience curated by Linda and her team.

"They have all been /unforgettable/ experiences"

We always add a hands-on cooking class experience whenever we travel to Italy. Linda has organized our family trips for the past 17 years with cooking classes in Tuscany, Naples, Ravello, Alberobello & Umbria

From Begining to the end Alberto planned the most perfect trip for us. We still talk about it daily! Alberto greeted us in Florence.

Italy Customized's Aperitivo Tour is simply outstanding! Linda is so knowledgeable and incredibly personable, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

"We visited /hotels/ & /restaurants/ that we would’ve /never/ found."

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 had /extremely enjoyable/ experiences in each of the cities"

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!

"/One word/ comes to mind when I think our recent Italian adventure ... /amazing/!"

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!

"We /highly/ recommend Linda to plan your trip of a /lifetime/."

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.

Alberto Arranged an amazing Day trip in Chianti for our family. Delicious tastings at an organic farm. We wish we used Italy Customized to do more of our 2-week Italian family vacations.

"We can not wait to /return/!"

Our family vacation started in Venice. It was our favorite city, even after many friends and family recommended only a day in the city we went with Linda's advice and stayed for three nights. Her expertise in providing the perfect guides for our children, the best places to eat, and superb experiences.

Our transportation was top notch and couldn't imagine going around Italy any other way. We will be using her service again in the future and 100% recommended her company without any hesitation.

"Linda planned every aspect of our /trip of a lifetime/ to perfection!"

Since we were traveling with our adult children ages 18 & 20, we wanted to hit the historical highlights while embracing the Italian food and culture. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed our Vespa tour of Rome with Roberto. Our son loved hiking in Cinque Terre. We all had a blast cooking with Claudia and wine tasting in Tuscany at Cantina Canaio! Every transfer, accommodation, private guide, driver, assistant, and restaurant recommendation was top-notch.
