I had a great experience with Luca planning our time in Northern Italy—he was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with! Luca is extremely good at what he does. His communication is prompt and accurate. He arranged our private transportation (cars and boats!), recommended hotels (we loved them!), purchased admission tickets in advance for us (very convenient and time-saving!), and has a team that is just as professional and friendly as he is! You will not be disappointed! I can't wait to plan another trip with Luca!

Luca has helped us with many trips over the past few years. I think we're now planning our 10th trip. We know that if we book a trip with him, it will be amazing! He has top-notch recommendations and is very organized. He often personally meets the tour guides and other people he arranges for us, and everyone loves working with him. He ensures we have the best experience!
