Traveler Stories

What Our Travelers Say

Words from travelers who came for Italy and left with something they didn't expect — a place that felt like home.

"Our trip was amazing. Janet was with us every step of the way. We enjoyed incredible bistecca in Florence and visited Leonardo da Vinci's childhood home. I couldn't have asked for a better family vacation. Everyone in our group now has memories that will last a lifetime."

"We had such an amazing trip with Exquisitely Italy! Our trip to Rome was planned perfectly. Rome has become one of our favourite cities because of this trip! The hotel was in a great location and we really enjoyed our stay. We went to some amazing restaurants to have some traditional food, enjoy some good wine, and meet local people. I couldn't recommend booking with them enough!"

Jennine Terra

"Janet made us fall in love especially with Italy. She puts her heart and soul in making sure your experiences in the places visited are memorable. She truly cares about her clients and arranges for all accommodations which made our stay in Italy feel as if we belong. She was always on call to make sure we got the most out of our time spent there. She listens as she puts a plan in place to fit each family. We never felt it was just to make a sale but to make it one of our most memorable trips. She is very personable and made great recommendations for excellent restaurants."
