This was an amazing tour of Southern Italy and Sicily. Everything was well organized and fully taken care of, which allowed me to simply enjoy the wine, food, and culture of each region. This was my second tour with Antonio’s company, and I am already in the process of booking my third. I have also traveled on bus tours and cruises with other companies, and nothing compares to this experience. You visit places off the beaten path and have wonderful encounters with local people along the way. It is truly worth it, and I highly recommend any tour with Savour Italy Tours.

Antonio was so understanding and assessed the kind of trip I needed accurately. He knows Italy inside and out. I will use his services again. He is not pushy, truly a professional. Thank you Antonio!

I recently completed the 13-day Southern Italy and Sicily tour with Savour Italy Tours. This was my second trip with the company, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The tour was customized as a food and wine experience for our small group of 19 friends and colleagues. Because of this, the itinerary felt very personal and well planned. It included a great balance of sightseeing, food and wine tastings, and free time to relax. Every hotel Antonio selected was excellent, and each dining and tasting experience felt special and memorable. Antonio’s passion for Italy is clear in everything he does. His strong relationships with local people added a special touch to the trip. In addition, transportation was handled smoothly throughout the journey. Even on narrow roads and winding routes, we always felt safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Savour Italy Tours and am already looking forward to traveling with them again.

Our group of four women combined the Discover the South and Sicily tours, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment our tour leader met us at the airport in Rome until we arrived in Palermo sixteen days later, the Savour Italy team took care of every detail. The trip was truly fabulous, carefree, and first class, while still offering authentic Italian experiences throughout. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in Italian culture, cuisine, and wine, and we also visited several UNESCO World Heritage Sites along the way. If you are looking for a tour that combines comfort, authenticity, and unforgettable experiences, Savour Italy Tours is the perfect choice. Just say yes to Italy!

A wonderful three-week tour, excellent guides and drivers. Well organized, a great service for older travellers.

Fantastic tours! Our guide Claudia was excellent-enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Thanks Antonio and team for helping the Draggin' Docs savour a beautiful part of Italy!

The tour of Southern Italy and Sicily was amazing. The accommodations, the wine, the food and the excursions were excellent. The passion Antonio has for Italy makes Savour Italy's tours an absolute must. See Italy and awaken your senses.

We have enjoyed each of the four tours with Savour Italy. Antonio's first-hand knowledge of Italy, Italian culture, food and wine as well as commitment to service and care of the participants is first rate. Especially noteworthy, is Antonio's ability to include direct contact with family run wineries and cooking classes adds a true touch his tours.

Our family met with Antonio to review options on what to do and see on our upcoming vacation in Rome and the Amalfi Coast. Our interests vary as much as our ages (25 to 60 years), and Antonio was understanding of our needs and very knowledgeable, providing options that suited our interests for in-country travel, sites and accommodation. Highly recommend!

There is no greater lover of all things Italian than Antonio. He is always ready to give you inside information to build your own itinerary in Italy. Ask and you will receive, whether it be a winery recommendation or a favorite restaurant. Our last tour of Italy would not have been nearly as memorable had it not been for Antonio’s recommendations. We are returning again this fall and will again be following Antonio’s passion as we build our own itinerary.

I am recently back from a fabulous 10 day tour of Italy with Savour Italy Tours. This is my second time going with one of their tours and will most definitely not be my last. The attention to detail … the local artisans and family owned restaurants and tour companies SI uses makes our time even more authentic. We were a group of 19 and we had private tours of wineries and gardens and farms and the most delicious food and wine... Grazie!.... I will be back!!

A travel companion and I used Antonio's customised tour service for an eight-day trip to Piemonte and Toscana. All directions and reservations for accommodations, some meals, winery and enoteca tours were easy to follow. Antonio's recommendations were all stellar, bringing us to places we would not have found on our own and ensuring that we were well received everywhere. His selection of visits and arrangements was superb. The cost was well worth it and added incommensurable value to our trip. I will avail myself of his services again.

As an older traveler who had never taken part in an organized tour before, I was very happy with my Savour Italy experience in Southern Italy and Sicily. Some days were challenging for me, but I was surprised by how much I was able to do. Throughout the trip, I always felt safe and well cared for. The itinerary was well planned and balanced busy days with quieter ones. The accommodations were excellent, and the food and wine were outstanding. It was also clear that Antonio’s personal connections with local guides and providers made the experience even more enjoyable.

22 days of Italy the Savour Italy way! My spouse and I just had the trip of a lifetime! We went from Rome, Amalfi, Florence, Tuscany, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Turin and returned from Venice. We experienced the best hotels, amazing tours with professional and knowledgeable tour guides, and smooth transfers by train. We felt like VIPs. Some of the highlights were the visit to the Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel, the Amalfi lemon grove tour and lunch, the Tuscany wine tour and the Langhe wine tour (Barolo). Savour Italy curated the entire excursion. We found the schedule and pacing to be perfect! I've recommended Savour Italy to family and colleagues. The Savour Italy team was a pleasure to work with.

I would like to thank Antonio Mauriello of Savour Italy Tours for serving up a truly authentic travel experience. As an adventurous traveller, I’ve had the opportunity to take in a wide range of places. On this trip criss-crossing Italy from Rome to Palermo, Savour Italy has surpassed my highest expectations. Custom travel and local, local, local were always in the mix — not an easy task for a company providing experiences ranging from days to weeks. For me, this trip was truly exceptional due to Antonio's first-hand knowledge of Italy’s culture and regions, plus the respect he has earned from Italy’s hospitality leaders. If you want to live and breathe the flavours and colours that are Italy, then Savour Italy is a trusted travel companion. I have only one request: I would like to give Savour Italy 6 full stars, instead of 5. Grazie Mille!

My wife and I have been on four tours of Italy with Savour Italy Travel and are already registered for our fifth. Every tour has been outstanding, and each one has created lasting memories for us. The tours are well organized, professionally run, and comfortably paced. While you do see some classic sights, what truly sets these tours apart are the many hidden gems. You visit places you would never discover on your own and enjoy experiences that feel authentic and personal. Throughout each trip, you feel like a local and have the chance to connect with people in the regions you visit. You enjoy the same delicious food and wine they do. In the end, you come away with a deeper understanding of the culture, traditions, and everyday life of each region.

We had saved up a few years to plan the trip of a lifetime. We found Savor Italy's website by chance, and contacted Antonio to inquire about his services. We sent him our budget, what we were hoping to see/do, and our traveling style. He responded promptly and put a "spot on" itinerary together for us. It almost sounded too good to be true, until we arrived in Italy. Every single part of our itinerary happened without a glitch. The custom tours & service blew us away. It was the most perfect vacation, and we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.

Buongiorno Antonio! Thank you so much for the wonderful trip.... starting with the magical entrance into Venice right through to the great tours of Milan; everything went like clockwork. Not to mention your personal email of wishing us a good journey before we left. We had a great time with Enrico. I have reached out to him in an email, as he had suggested, and anxiously waiting for his reply. We will definitely be back to consult with you again sometime soon.

There is only one way to describe a Savour Italy tour... in superlatives. From initial booking to final farewell, Antonio and his gang do their utmost to ensure you have a wonderful trip sometimes off the beaten track. The memories of a recent 13 day trip to Puglia and Sicily are still fresh and warm. Great food, wine, activities and tours. I've done 2 tours with Savour Italy and am looking forward to another... the sooner; the better.

Antonio: Thank you so very much for putting together such a superbly organized wine and culinary tour of Northern Italy. Your passion, professionalism, enthusiasm, generosity, flexibility, and pride were all reflected in the outstanding way you put together a tour filled with the balanced amount of variety and surprises. Everything seemed flawless from beginning to end. I am thoroughly going through withdrawal and longing for salamis and cheeses, sparkling aperitivo, Nebbiolo, Amarone, cappuccino, espresso, fresh fish, and the list goes on…. Alain and I enjoyed the trip immensely.

Karl and I would like to sincerely thank you for an unforgettable tour. It was indeed well organized and executed at a suitable pace, always presenting us with new and engaging discoveries. It was inspiring to meet so many artisans so passionate about their trade, so deeply proud of their accomplishments and with such generous hospitality. Bravo to each and every one of them. Thank you very much for a class act, all the way.

Thank you for giving us the tour of a lifetime. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Grazie.

Pierre and I returned from Florence last night. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will keep many fond memories forever. Thank you and your staff in Italy for being very gracious, generous and flexible. You ensured that we got the maximum out of our trip and we truly appreciated your presence and your willingness to modify arrangements to suit our interests and needs. We look forward to seeing you and the group again in the future. Mille grazie!

We cannot thank you and your team enough for designing such an unforgettable adventure for us. Every hotel and destination was absolutely perfect, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our favorite stay was a stunning 15th-century palace in Lecce that had been converted into a boutique hotel. From the beautiful rooms to the exceptional staff, everything about it was truly amazing. Each morning, we also enjoyed a freshly prepared breakfast selected from a menu provided the day before, which made the experience even more special. Throughout the trip, I shared photos and videos with friends, and everyone commented on how beautiful the tour looked. This was a fantastic experience that we will always look back on and cherish.

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful tour of Italy. The tour was A plus. The hotels were excellent, and the excursions were superb and ones we will always remember. The food was also fabulous and which we enjoyed to the fullest extent. All the drivers were on time and produced as promised. We are on our way back to the States and will definitely recommend your company for tours to Italy and other parts of Europe.
