Our tailor-made trips are all planned by local experts – who work for tour operators on the ground – so that all the pesky planning details are taken care of for you. Their know-how, and 24/7 support, makes travel truly stress-free. But don’t just take our word for it: these reviews are all written by real travellers who have booked a tailor-made trip with Rough Guides. Every traveller is asked to leave a review after their trip, but you can leave one before you go, too.

“This was our second trip planned by Martina, Senior Italian travel agent. She is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!! She planned a trip of a lifetime for our 30th anniversary celebration. It was fun, historical, relaxing and all around perfect. We had the most personable drivers and guides. She planned very unique private excursions for us, from archeological excavations to bread tasting, olive oil production, winery tours and tastings, mozzarella and burrata making and tasting, historical tours, and the most amazing cooking class in which our instructor hosted us in her private home. Martina also reserved unbelievable lodging (5 star!) for the many cities we visited. We will definitely call her to plan our next Italian getaway!”
