What people love about Local Living Tours in South Italy
- Local Living Italy - Sorrento
The tour offered great variety and interest. Excellent effort and friendliness from our guide. Nothing was too much bother. Assistance was there for those who needed it. Accommodation, especially at the Organic Lemon Farm was excellent.
- Learn Italian, Food & Culture in Abruzzo
Amazing Tours! I am a veteran traveler in Italy, my favorite place on earth, and I also speak Italian. I have traveled there countless times, both with and without the benefit of a tour. I had never traveled to the Abruzzo region before and, after considerable research, opted for Fabrizio ‘s tour of Abruzzo and Puglia. It was one of the best trips I have ever taken! Fabrizio’s tour is carefully planned to showcase the region where he grew up with a variety of wonderful culinary and cultural experiences in which he incorporates friends and family, as well as uniquely regional businesses such as bakeries, confetti factory, artisans, and purveyors of traditional goods and products, as well as the breathtaking landscapes and picturesque towns and villages of the region. One comes away with a depth of experience that comes from really having an opportunity, not just to dine and sightsee, but to interact with local people in their homes and workplaces. I also did the Le Marche tour immediately after, and the guides and activities were also phenomenal. Both regions are incredibly beautiful, and more off the beaten tourist track. The small group size is anther big plus. I don’t think you can miss by booking with Italia, Sweet Italia, a sentiment shared by everyone in both tour groups. Fabrizio’s tours are bravissimi!
- Local Living Italy - Amalfi Coast
Fantastic guide Salvo…wonderful people on the tour. I would have loved a local wine / lemon farm tour to have been included. The hikes (I did the first 3 ) were great , but calling the tour local living without doing some of the real local experiences is a little disappointing.
