Having traveled twice with Nada’s Italy, first on Sizzling Sicily tour two years ago, and most recently their Italian Treasures tour, I highly recommend Nada’s Italy! Their tours are high quality; small group travel that includes excellent hotels, restaurants, local tours and outstanding tour leaders, guides and drivers. The itinerary encompasses famous places, along with quaint, not as famous areas, all of which are picturesque and fascinating. The tour leaders on both trips were incredibly knowledgeable; they shared this knowledge with fine communication and organization at all times, while displaying concern for travelers’ comfort and enjoyment. The entire team, from the initial reservation email/phone call to the final day of travel, displayed professionalism and pride in their company. I am truly looking forward to my next tour with Nada’s Italy!

I couldn’t be happier with the Nada’s Italy tours we recently completed! We did both the Jewels of the Amalfi Coast and the Italian Treasures tours. The itineraries for both were excellent. We had just the right balance of scheduled activities and free time to explore on our own. There were even surprises built in to the schedule which made the trip all the more fun. The hotels, meals and planned activities were all wonderful! All of the personnel associated with Nada’s, from the drivers to the super knowledgeable city guides to the office staff, were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Our program director was an absolute gem! One of the best features of our trip was the small group format. Because we were only 12 people, we became very close, an aspect of the trip I did not expect but very much appreciated! We even hung out together during our free time. I wholeheartedly recommend traveling with Nada’s Italy. It was an experience I’ll never forget!

This trip was absolutely a trip of a lifetime.! We did the Italian Treasures package (Rome, Florence, Venice). Nada’s Italy had every detail taken care of to perfection. Nada’s provided a perfect balance of time with a small tour group and personal time to explore on our own. Our tour group leader, Leonardo, was awesome and made us all feel like family together. He guided us through all the museums and history with so much knowledge but also took us to where the locals live and dine to give us the feel of how it is to live there. Definitely recommend Nada’s and will be using them for our next trip back to Italy in the near future

After several experiences with large group tours, I decided to try something different and learned about the travel options offered by Nada's Italy. I opted to take the Italian Treasures tour in May of 2017, and it was, hands-down, the trip of a lifetime! From initial email correspondence with the office, through the tour, I found every detail to be perfect, and the customer service far exceeded my expectation. Our tour leader was Clarissa, and she gave our group valuable information and insight into her country. Clarissa always had a smile on her face and made each member of the group feel very special. Clearly, this was not just a job for her, but a true passion, and I also feel that everyone at Nada's Italy feels the same way. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Nada's!!

What an amazing first trip to Italy with Nada's. The tour was just perfect -- great hotels, amazing restaurants, picture-perfect scenery. The little side trips that Natalia took us on were everything I wanted Italy to be, and more! I would book again with Nada's any day and highly recommend it to people who are looking for a hassle-free trip.

This was our second memorable tour with Nada’s. Like last year every day was fun and full of great sites, food and experiences. We really enjoyed the other guests on the tour especially Frank & Jane, Lori & Don, Bobby, Susan. Thank you Marco our tour guide. His experience, knowledge and professionalism made our vacation perfect. We hope to do this every year with Nada’s, because Italy is our favorite country. All of these memories the big and the small are going to stay with us for the rest of our lives.

I have no words. Well, I have many words actually. Absolutely amazing, incredible, humbling, intense, eye opening, informative, so far beyond our expectations!! Hats off the Nada’s Italy for our incredible bucket list trip. It was my and my husbands first trip to Europe/Italy and a bucklist item. I’m so happy we chose Nada’s. From start to finish it was magical. Even before the trip started, working with Sabatino and Daria was simple and easy. They were there every step of the way to answer all of my many crazy questions and ensured we were comfortable with all the pretravel arrangements. We chose Nada’s because we were able to show up with our suitcase’s and not have to think or deal with any of the planning. And that is exactly what we did! Everything was seamless. We had been trying to get to Italy for 3 years and due to COVID and other life events getting in the way we finally made it! We chose the Italian Treasures Tour and it was truly amazing and special. The idea of having someone who knew the region and spoke the language was very comforting and exactly what we were looking for on our first trip to Italy. Having a Journey Director made all the difference. We are soooo spoiled now. I can’t imagine ever traveling again to a new country without one. Our Journey Director was Enzo. The only word I have for Enzo is WOW!!!!!! He was amazing!!!!!! He went above and beyond in everything he did. He was a true professional and so passionate about every aspect of the trip. It would have been a totally different experience without him. He made our first trip to Europe/Italy truly special. We will cherish the memories forever. Enzo is truly priceless!!!!!! Everyday seemed to be better than the day before. From the Colosseum and the Forum, the Vatican, all the little towns in between, the museums, the cooking class and winery, the culture and history was all so powerful and impactful. Even our local Tour Guides Barbara, Eliza and Roberto were amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate about their country. We learned so much! And the food!!! Enzo knew all the best places! True little gems that the locals eat at. Not only were they ridiculously delicious but it just made the experience all that more authentic. Every day would end with me saying “This was the best day! I can’t imagine it getting better”. Then the next day would come and OMG it was better! Nada’s, THANK YOU for the experience, memories and trip of a lifetime! If you’re trying to decide on a tour group for your next adventure STOP HERE!

We just returned from the best Italian vacation on the Amalfi coast that we booked thru Nada’s of Italy. This is the second vacation, “Jewels of the Amalfi Coast” that we took with Nada. Our first experience with Nada’s was the “Italian Treasures Tour” in 2015 which was just as great! After leaving Rome (1 night) we stayed in Positano at the wonderful Hotel Reginella for 8 nights/9 days. From our hotel we had daily adventures to the surrounding towns (Ravello, Sorrento, Amalfi, Paestum, and Pompeii), and a boat ride to Capri and cruised the Amalfi coast in a 35 ft boat. We also got to see many great historical sites including Herculean, & Pompeii. In addition, we visited places we would never have thought existed like Tenuta Vannulo (water buffalo farm) where we had an informative tour and wonderful fresh buffalo mozzarella with our lunch. Every daily trip was perfectly planned. Every meal was wonderful and at small, quaint, family owned restaurants cooking wonderful homemade delicacies. We even got to make our own dinner at Fattoria Terranova and met the patriarch. It was a night to remember. Our tour director, Alessandro and his partner for the trip “Michela” were fabulous. They were so well versed on the history of all sights we visited and also shared great information about the history of Italy whether politics or the “fun facts” about each town and the famous people that were part of Italian history. Both Michela and Alessandro had warm and engaging personalities which added to our wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants an effortless trip (no analysis by paralysis of where to go) and want to be part of a small group. Our group was full with just 12 people which was completely manageable. This was well planned and executed to perfection and you don’t have to worry about anything, except showing up and having fun!

Can not say enough about this company. This is our 3rd (but not final) trip to Italy with Nada’s. Their care and attention to detail is amazing, allowing for a seamless, relaxing, enriching, and enjoyable journey. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My husband and I returned just last week from Nada's Italy: Jewels of the Amalfi Coast tour. It absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way. In Positano, the Reginella Hotel staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. Our room had a terrace where we had breakfast each morning, overlooking the bay and the terraced cliffs. Superb! The sites we visited were interesting and beautiful; and at many of the sites, a guide who was knowledgeable about the specific site met our group of 12 there, and gave us his/her full attention. The itinerary was perfect, and the food? Oh, the food! It was prepared to perfection, and it was plentiful, as was the local wine. The staff at each eatery was attentive, and so, so welcoming! Our happy memories of this tour will last a lifetime.

Nada’s Magic of Spain Tour was wonderful! Spain is such a beautiful country with beautiful people. The accommodations were top notch and every city had a story of its own through the rich history as told through expert guides. Our journey director Rosa was amazing. We experienced a taste of Spain which made the tour very unique. When Nada says we do tours for those that don’t like tours, she is right on. Small group is definitely the way to go. Amazing experience!!

We just returned from the most incredible trip to Spain planned by Nada's! They planned the most wonderful private tours in each of our stops which truly was the highlight of our trip. My husband and I also both agree that having the private transfers from and to airports and train stations was SUCH a luxury. We will definitely use Nada's again when we plan our trip to Italy!

We went on a fabulous small group tour with Nada a few years ago and it was so well-planned and personal. Every detail was taken care of for us and we did not have to worry about any of the usual hassles like tickets and transportation- and we got access to special queue lines that allowed entry more quickly at certain sites. The travel was in comfortable Mercedes Sprinter vans. We ate the most wonderful food in every location we visited because Nada knows the inside scoop on the small and special places that you might miss otherwise. It was a perfect trip in every way. Can't wait to go on another with her!

We just returned from a personalized tour of Rome, Venice, Florence, and several smaller Italian towns. Nada's Italy made the arrangements for us for hotels, tours, and transportation, and handled it all flawlessly. Guides were all knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. Drivers were on time, pleasant and helpful, for normal airport and train pick-ups, and even making modifications to "on the fly tag team" adjustments to use two drivers/vehicles to get through a traffic jam from an unexpected train accident. They never missed a beat. Accommodations were all very nice. I highly recommend them.

We have traveled in Italy before, planning our own itineraries. We were planning to do so on this trip as well, but became interested in the idea of joining a small group tour. When we researched several possibilities, Nada’s Italy stood out as the best small group tour company for Italy. Before the tour, the information flow from Nada’s was excellent. We felt well prepared before we left, because they provided hard copy and e-text information that helped us set our expectations for the trip. They sent a wonderful gift package that included an information booklet covering all the things we needed to know about traveling in Italy plus many other helpful items. We went on Nada’s first Mediterranean Bliss tour of Rome and the Amalfi Coast with two other couples that we met on the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our group and the camaraderie that developed. Our amazing journey director, Clarissa Mannino, watched over us throughout the trip, providing excellent guidance and support. Even during our free time, she always seemed to appear if we had questions or needed direction. She did a wonderful job of sharing with us Italian culture and customs. She was just delightful!!! The tour was planned with an excellent attention to details combining seeing major sites with a city guide in Rome, the wonderful Barbara, and allowing for moderate amounts of free time to explore on our own. We stayed in top notch hotels, particularly the beautiful villa in Sorrento. We enjoyed Italian cuisine in elegant spots as well as in a local family owned pizzeria. All of the meals were excellent with multiple courses and the opportunity to try the local favorites of each area. The length of the tour was perfect and we felt well-cared for during the entire trip! Our group kept remarking to each other that, on our own, we never would have experienced the incredible things that we did with Nada’s! We recommend Nada’s Italy highly!

We’ve travelled twice with Nadas Italy in the past 4 years ( a little Covid interference) and have really enjoyed each trip. The first was The Amalfi Coast - it was amazing ~ our first “group tour” ~ it was actually like traveling with 10 best friends, amazing! Our Guide, transportation, meals, stops, all beyond our imagination. Incredible! Our second trip was Tuscany and Cinque Terra, another incredible trip. We went to so many places where we didn’t see Americans, remote quant towns and wonderful restaurants. I can’t imagine a better experience! This fall we are headed to Puglia with Nadas, joined by friends we made in our first trip. We can’t wait to see what treasures we get to see this time….. I can’t say enough good about Nadas ~ their tripe are simply amazing.

Our Family of Four loved the Fantastic Italian Treasures Tour. NADA’S did an excellent job communicating before the trip, having the BEST guide to cover extra needs, and giving us surprise venues, vistas, and an overall excellent trip. The small group aspect made everything personal and curated.

This was our first guided tour, usually preferred to travel on our own. However, Nada’s small group tour was intimate, and immersed us deeper into Tuscan culture, Vineyards and Food than we would have been able to discover on our own. We also, bonded and became friends with the small group of 12 we traveled with and there was enough free time to explore on our own. Really need to do another trip. Hopefully soon

Absolutely wonderful experience! Everything was well planned. Hotel accommodations were top notch. Great food and wine and the tours and sites were amazing! A great balance between group activities and time to explore on our own. We are already thinking about what part of Italy we want to visit next with Nada’s.

We have taken two trips to Italy with Nada’s Italy. Both times we created our own tour group with family, however, the tour itinerary was essentially the same as their regular tours. We just returned from a trip to the Puglia region and it was a great experience! The Nada’s Italy team does a fantastic job selecting local hotels and restaurants that are a cut above the usual, and truly give you a local feel for the area you are visiting. They hire local guides to share knowledge about each area you visit. All combined, it really makes your trip a special experience. I can’t recommend them highly enough. They take care of all the details, the transportation, reservations, day to day plans (no waiting in lines, ever!), etc and you can just relax and enjoy the trip!

Nada's Italy Mediterranean Bliss tour was absolutely fantastic. Everything was planed properly from meals to tickets for tours. Our tour guide Georgia was awesome she was very knowledgeable, 10+ years experience. Barbara was our guide for the Vatican and The Coliseum – she has over 27 years touring the Vatican. Our travel agent Daria was also fantastic she was very helpful with getting all of our travel arrangements together making sure we had enough time to arrive in town before the tour starts in case of flight issues. I would highly recommend Nada’s.

This was such a fantastic way to travel as a solo woman. I loved not only having all of the logistics taken care of for me but also that every part of it was so authentically Italian. It was the perfect mix of agenda-based and free time. I made lifelong friends and can’t wait to travel with Nada’s again.

What a wonderful time on the Amalfi Coast. From the breakfast on our balcony to dinner at the top of mountain, every thing was great. Our Journey Guide was amazing. Every excursion was perfectly planned. Every restaurant was family owned and met the family. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Wow, just returned from the Tuscany wine and food tour and am so enchanted by that region. This tour gave us a solid immersion in the history, culture, significance, foods , and wines of this incredible area. Roberto, our tour guide was full of insider information, customs, etc. He was everything you could ask for is a tour guide, and a great guy to know! The city guide in Florence, Elisa, offered such insight, filling in the gaps so every site was more than just a pretty building…we understood the significance and rich history of every place we visited, and how each site was affected by the other places we visited. The food, oh my ……the food!!!!! So delicious, we had so many dishes we had never even heard of before, as well as the best quality of food I have ever eaten. Great choices in venues. Lastly, the wines…..I am convinced you cannot get a bad wine in Tuscany, each more delicious than the next. If you want to truly experience this important region, do yourself a favor and sign up with a Nada’s tour, you won’t be disappointed. They have set up the perfect way to experience Tuscany, and if you have special needs, food preferences, etc, they will address each of them. Well worth the time and money.
