    Our trip that Lino put together to Italy was beyond our expectations! The family’s hotel was very nice and the food was amazing. Our guide, Mario took us to places that we would’ve never expected. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, he certainly made the trip extra special. We would definitely recommend joining this trip.

    Everything was like you moved in with a real Italian home.  You got the full Italian experience. Everyday was a new experience.  There wasn’t one day that I didn’t enjoy. Anytime I talk to someone I always say I would go back in a heartbeat.
