As an older tour group participant, who had not taken part in organised tours before, I was totally delighted with my Savour Italy experience in Southern Italy and Sicily. There were a couple of days that I found quite challenging but was amazed with what I could accomplish. I always felt safe and secure. The itinerary balanced more arduous days with quieter ones and the choice of accommodation was excellent. The food and wine was outstanding, and I could really see that his close personal contact with the experience providers added an extra dimension to our enjoyment.

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.

Cannot thank you enough for our most unforgettable adventure that you and your team designed for us!! The hotels and destinations could not have been more perfect! Our favorite was the 15th century “ palace” that had been made into a boutique hotel 8 years ago in Lecce. That hotel was truly amazing from the stunning rooms to the over the top staff! Also their breakfast that was freshly made each morning from the selected menu that they handed to you the day before. I was posting videos and pics along the way and all our friends were commenting about how beautiful the tour was. This was a fantastic tour that we will look back on and cherish our memories. Cannot thank you enough!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wife and I have been on 4 tours of Italy with Savour Italy Travel and are registered to go on our fifth. Each of the these tours have been nothing short of SPECTACULAR!!! Enduring memories were created on each. The tours were well organised, professionally run, and appropriately paced. You see some of the classic sights, but it is the long list of undiscovered, hidden gems that really sets these tours apart. You visit wonderful places you would never have found on your own (or on any other tour, for that matter). You end up feeling like a local and get the chance to make a genuine connection with many of the people in the areas you visit. You consume the same delicious foods and wines that they do. In addition to the magnificent sights and delectable meals, you come away with a profound understanding of the people, culture, traditions, food, and wine of the regions.

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!

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.

This was an amazing tour of Southern Italy and Sicily. Everything was organized and taken care of. I was able to just experience all the wonders of the wine, food and culture of the regions. This is my second tour with Antonio's company and I am in the process of booking my third! Having also done bus tours and cruises with other companies, nothing compares to this experience! You visit places off the beaten path and have wonderful encounters with the locals. It is so worth it and I highly recommend any tour with Savour Italy!!!!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

Our group of four women combined the Discover the South and Sicily tours. From the time that our tour leader met us at the airport in Rome until we arrived in Palermo sixteen days later, everything was taken care of expertly by our Savour Italy team. This was an absolutely fabulous, carefree, first class trip full of authentic Italian experiences. If you want to immerse yourself in Italian culture, cuisine & wine, as well as visit numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Savour Italy is the tour company for you! Just say Yes to Italy!

I've just completed the 13 day Southern Italy and Sicily tour with Savour Italy Tours. It's my second tour with this company and I was once again totally in awe of the entire experience. The tour was a bit more customized as a food and wine tour for our small group of 19 friends and colleagues. The final itinerary was just perfect, a mix of sights, tastes and downtime. The hotels Antonio selected were all wonderful, and all food and tasting experiences were unique and memorable. Antonio's passion for his homeland and his connections to the people who live and work here is heartfelt. The trip was snag-free and part of that was also the amazing transportation he had arranged. We felt safe and secure as we navigated some very challenging switchbacks and narrow streets. I cannot recommend Savour Italy Tours enough and I looking forward to my next adventure with them.

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!
