Tour of Sicily (June 12-20, 2006)

Thanks Elsa for a great time in Sicily!  The trip was customized to fit exactly what we wanted to do including the restaurant I had picked in the travel guide.  Also thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us.  My son and I felt very at home with them.  After seeing my Sicily pictures, my friends and family tell me what a great photographer I am but I remind them that the places we saw were just so fantastic that the photos were easy.

Anyway, thanks for everything and I look forward to another Italian trip.

Grazie mille!!!!! The trip was a dream come true, everything was absolutely spectacular. I adore your parents, they completely spoiled me in their cooking and i still miss your mothers eggplant... i felt like i was living on cloud nine, seeing all the ancient architecture, everything was candy for my eyes...we truly were given a first class look at everything, i'm still amazed at all we saw and did...and ate!!! i look forward to the day that i will come back.

Tour of Rome (May 26-June 3, 2006)

I had the pleasure of going to Italy this summer with Elsa as my guide.  Elsa worked very hard to accommodate everyone including changing meal choices so everyone got to taste their preferences!

The days were full of activities but there was also enough “down time” to be able to relax.  It was nice not to have to worry about where to book a hotel or which sites I might have forgotten to go to.  Elsa is a very hard worker and has a great sense of humor and I love her!

I was pleased with the tour- think I did better speaking than I thought I would, and the food was wonderful!

I want to live there for a while...

My trip to Italy was a wonderful adventure. the sights were breathtaking,the food was delicious and the people were colorful.  I enjoyed every minute and came home with many amusing stories to tell.  i am looking foward to returning to Italy, but this time with my husband. I know that he will love it as much as i did!!

Tour of Tuscany & Venice (May 27- June, 2005 & May 31-June 10, 2004)

I toured Sicily with Elsa and fell in love with the country.  There were so many beautiful sites to explore.  The people are friendly and very beautiful.  If you try to speak in Italian they will warm up and help you in their lovely language, most all of them already speak English.  Make the trip to Taormina it is a wonderful vacation spot for Italians.  There are many shops to buy anything you could imagine.  The food is world class.  Italian food made in Italy is far superior to the rather blasé Italian food you will find anywhere in the states.  All of true Italian food is made fresh from fresh Italian ingredients.  You will gain weight.  The wine is spectacular and contains no “additives” which might give you a headache.  They already know that you are there to have fun, and they love to join in!

New Year's Tour of Sicily (Dec 26-Jan 2, 2005)

Sicily is beautiful !!! Davide and your parents are wonderful.

Lianna told Paul that this is the best trip she has ever been on! 

Wow that is a good endorsement from a teenager. 

Thank you for arranging the trip to San Mauro Castelverde.

 It was so important to Paul and Bob, to see where their family was from.

We are full of wonderful memories.  Thank you so much!  Mille grazie!

Sicily was the greatest.  Lianna wants to move there. 

She had a fabulous time and said she "felt a connection". 

Thanks so much for taking them out dancing all night on that last night. 

That really topped it off for the girls.  Bob and Jean loved it too. 

And I wouldn't say that they are exactly easy to please. 

The homemade nature of the tour makes it far superior to any plain old tour that someone can book.

Ciao Elsa,

Thank you for a wonderful experience in Sicily.

I appreciate all your attention to detail. 

My nephews are ready to go back!

Best of all thanks for helping me contact my family in Sicily.

I enjoyed especially the "cultural" evening on the last night with my high-heeled boots.

I was understanding Italian "pretty well" by the end of my visit.

Thanks
