Nada's Italy

Our Italian Treasures Tour was outstanding!!!! Sabatino & Daria were wonderful to answer all of our questions and to schedule our trip!!! And Ilaria was the perfect Journey Director!!! We had an amazing trip! It was well worth the cost! There was a perfect amount of free time and group time! We loved everything on the itinerary! The restaurants were fabulous! The city guides were great!! We especially enjoyed Sebastian in Venice & Elisa in Florence!! Our drivers were wonderful!!! Our travel companions became friends!! The hotels were very nice!! We would highly recommend Nada’s Italy to anyone!!!😍

Nada’s Unknown tour was so unique. We were taken off the beaten path of Italy and were introduced to some very beautiful regions. Nada is careful to ensure the experiences and accommodations are interesting, engaging, and top tier. The care and compassion of her staff are incredible. Roberto was a fantastic journey director. This was my fourth journey and I plan on many more. Small group is definitely the way to go. Amazing experience!!

We had a wonderful time in Sicily with Nada’s. Beautiful sights, great food and wine, hotels and restaurants they selected were great. Best of all, our journey director Roberto and the tour guides , who were all very knowledgeable.

A small group tour is the only way to travel Italy (or any other country) in my opinion! Nada's does an amazing job of mixing history, culture, great food and wine, cooking classes and unique experiences into a tour. The group size is no larger than 12 people, so the experience is personal. The days are well balanced with plenty to do and see as well as some down time for personal exploration, rest, or shopping built in. We have actually traveled with Nadas 4 times over the past 10 years and we just finished the "Sizzling Sicily" tour. We had a fabulous time. There were only four of us on this trip, so definitely a focused and personal trip with our tour coordinator and driver. We had great tour guides for specific cities and sites who were top-notch. It is so nice to travel without having to plan every detail yourself, or to drive. The hotels we stayed in were all beautiful, the food delicious, and the wine experiences/tastings in gorgeous settings with amazing food pairings. Sicily is a fantastic place to visit. Highly recommend Nada's if you are looking for a great experience in travel!

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.

An Amazing Tour of Italian Treasures with Nada's. Our small group of 10 felt like family by the time we finished visiting Venice, Florence and Rome together. Lala our amazing tour manager met our every need - always energetic, smiling and so full of fun facts and surprise treats to see and enjoy along the way. Will definitely travel with Nada's again in the future!

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.

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.

We just returned from Nada's Italy Italian Treasures Tour.
Perfect trip! We were treated like VIP's, chauffered in style in comfortable mercedes.
The trip was so well planned with excursions and free time every day.
Our tour director Ilalia was our mother hen, so sweet, funny and capable!! We loved her!
Beautiful hotels in great locations, outragously good food (and wine!), excellent city guides.
There were 10 of us on this trip and we all got along very well.
We could not have imagined a better trip!
Loved every minute of it and cannot wait to go on another trip with Nada's!!

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.

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!!

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!

I just returned from my very first international trip and, at the recommendation of many friends, I chose Nada's Blissfully Italian tour to Rome, Florence and Tuscany. As a novice traveler, I had been told that this one would be an excellent choice and it did NOT disappoint! I would rate everything...the communication, accommodations, meals, tour schedule, tour guides and tour group all a 5+ star experience! I can't leave out our Journey Director, Alessio Manicone, who made the trip seem effortless and manageable for us all! I am eager to begin the plans for my next Nada's tour to see another area of Italy or perhaps Spain!

My husband and I are just back from the Blissfully Italy tour.
From the initial contact to our welcome home email this organization delivers 100+%. Our Tour Director, Alessio, was outstanding. He is knowledgeable, professional, efficient and a joy to be around. Each city guide gave in depth information and offered a detailed glimpse into the long history of Italy. In addition to the planned tours, we added a couple private tours and extended our Italy time with a three-day excursion to Venice with private guides. All of which were planned by the ByDesign wing of Nada's. Everything about our Italy experience was perfect. So much so that we have scheduled another tour with Nada's in 2024.

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!

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.

This was our third trip with Nada's Italy. We did the Northern Italian Delights Tour...it was, as always, fantastic! We were a small group of 10, and our Journey Director, Daniella, was wonderful. We went to cities (Milan, Turin), and small towns. We visited a rice farm, a few wineries, went truffle hunting (and actually found some!), had a cooking class, and many more fun things. You cannot go wrong going with Nada's!! I just wish the trips were longer!! Many thanks to all that helped plan this great trip...

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.

Another great trip to Italy with Nada's ! Our journey director Daniela took very good care of us on our second trip, this time to Northern Italy. A great mix of active and less active days and loved the sights, the food, the people. This was a wonderful trip.
