  This past September we took our second trip to Italy. The first time we went south, this time we went north. Both trips were arranged by Mario Bernardi. What a... read more terrific time our group of 4 couples had. Every detail was planned and executed perfectly. Drivers were on time, hotel rooms were waiting for us and tour guides were great in the places we visited. Mario also arranged visits to 3 wineries in the Tuscany area. We really enjoyed those wine tastings. Our trip south in 2016 was equally wonderful. We plan to go back to Italy and tour the east coast and into Sicily. I wouldn't think about going before contacting Mario to set up our trip. Grazie Mario.

We all LOVED IT.... read more I was pleasantly surprised with how much you still get to see and take in and learn even not being there in person. Mario did a great job navigating through the different platforms and resources he uses to do his tour. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made it fun too! He was funny and my group all enjoyed it. We could have kept listening to him talk. Learned a lot and it was so awesome to see all the beautiful architecture, paintings, and statues. It's incredible. I can't wait to be there again some day in person. But for now virtual will have to do and this is the best way to do it. I look forward to doing another virtual tour with Mario! Thank you!
