"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!

"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.

"Got exposed to all the secret gems of Florence."

“The Florence Foodies Walk was a great tour! Got exposed to all the secret gems of Florence. Would recommend to any foodies.”

"Italy Customized is /amazing!/"

We traveled for 14 days with 12 people our multi gen family and Linda made sure to meet the wants and needs of each person! She is flexible and very accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure we were all happy and had a great time every day. Highly recommend!

"Linda created /unique/, authentic, & /remarkable/ experiences for us."

From the moment we contacted Italy Customized, we knew that our trip was in the hands of experts who knew and loved the people and the regions that we would be visiting in Italy. We had the great pleasure of meeting Linda on our very first trip to Tuscany and she immediately stole our hearts. In fact, we looked to her to help with our visits for three years in a row!

"Linda put together an /amazing/ trip for us to the /Amalfi Coast/"

We had friendly, on-time drivers everywhere we went, a fantastic boat ride from Positano to Capri, and great guides along the Path of the Gods Pompeii, and Capri. Plus a wonderful cooking class in Capri! The trip was absolutely flawless!

"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!

"/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!

"The view was absolutely /stunning/ & perfect on a nice /warm/ Tuscany day."

Today we toured Siena and San Gimignano with a stop at an amazing winery for lunch. Carlo was our driver and he was magnificent. Very courteous and knowledgeable about the area and wines. The winery he took us to for wine tasting and meal was extraordinary. Delicious wines (we sampled six) and wonderful food to go with it.

She worked through several itineraries based on changes demanded during the Covid environment. Not only was she patient with us, but she constantly kept us informed of details and created solutions to most effectively navigate the problems.
