I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for planning such an amazing trip to Italy for our family. It was especially sweet since we had to postpone it for a year. All of your selections, from the hotels to the local guides, were wonderful! By handling so many of the details, you and your staff allowed all of us to really let go and relax. As a business owner and busy mom of 6, that rarely happens, and I'm so thankful.
We fell in love with Florence and shared drinks and stories with a few of your other clients on the roof of the Santa Maria Hotel. Irene was a wonderful and patient guide. She took us to see a shoemaker, and we came home with several new pairs! She could tell my older boys were losing interest in the shopping, so she added in some food stops to re-engage them, and the visit to the winery and surrounding countryside was beautiful. In Rome, the golf cart tour was fabulous because it allowed us to see so much more of the city than if we had walked. They even made some impromptu stops based on our interests. We really enjoyed learning about the Vatican and St. Peter's with Gioia. Pompeii was hot, but still a great stop, and of course, we loved Positano. The hotel was perfect, and Floriana had us feeling like locals.
We are all missing our daily geIato, and I think we could have stayed longer, but that just means we will need to plan another trip!
Thank you again and I'll be in touch!

Our trip to the Amalfi Coast with AT Escapes exceeded every expectation we had! From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly planned.
The hotels were not only beautiful, but comfortable and exuded the local charm. Each excursion was special and unique, providing experiences we’ll never forget. Two of our favorites were the pasta and mozzarella-making classes - great hosts and delicious food. Every driver, guide and assistant we encountered was warm, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone one of them said you were their favorite travel professional to work with and it's easy to see why.
We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with AT Escapes. Thanks again for the best trip we've ever taken.

A personalized experience from the time you take off till the time you return home.
The concierge service was beyond perfect! The hotel accommodations 4 to 5 star with a genuine culture of hospitality; every person we had contact with was incredibly knowledgeable. We were treated like royalty.
I can’t emphasize enough that if you are planning a vacation, at escapes is by far the best and most professional travel company that truly gets to know you and is able to flawlessly provide you a personalized experience beyond any of your expectations.

WOW! What an amazing trip for us, we really appreciate the lovely itinerary you put together on such short notice. We loved everything about the trip, each and every person we interacted with was truly amazing at their job! We made it to a few of your recommended restaurants and found one little gem that we really enjoyed. The hotels were both fantastic, located in excellent areas with great food and staff. The winery was gorgeous and such a great experience. The extra attention to detail with recommendations, and each day spelled out for us made it so easy to just enjoy and not worry about anything. Overall the trip was amazing, we can't say enough good things about you and you team! Thank you so much!

We truly appreciated your help with the last minute changes to our itinerary & flights.

We highly recommend AT Escapes to plan your next trip! Gina planned the perfect itinerary to our family’s hometown of San Pier Niceto, then onto Taormina, Catania, and Ortigia. Logistics were seamless & worry-free with airport pickups, private drivers & tour guides.
We enjoyed unique & authentic experiences, including a private cooking class in a chef’s home, food market tour, winery tasting, a behind the scenes tour of a marionette theater & a paper-making shop, & an amazing boat tour of Ortigia that included swimming, prosecco, & an antipasto feast on board!
It was a beautiful 10 days, & we look forward to planning our next trip with Gina & her team!

We wanted to thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip to Greece! We loved Athens, Paros and Santorini equally since they each had something special to offer.
All of our transfers worked without a hitch. The tours in each place were great and we loved each of our guides - Nikki in Athens, Georgia in Paros, and Markos in Santorini. The cooking experience in Santorini with George and Paula was fun and their love story warmed our hearts.
The sunset dinner cruise was just beautiful. Our hotels were amazing and we found some fabulous restaurants. We would not change a thing! Thank you!

I can not thank Gina @ATEscapes Travel enough for planning a once in a lifetime trip for my sister, myself and my son. Everyone from our personal drivers to our hand picked travel guides were amazing! Theodore made me laugh and felt like a true friend as he guided us through Murano and Burano in Venice.
Floriana was a dream!! She was adorable! She fit right in with our crazy selves and made the trip to Capri on our private boat amazing! She too felt like a forever friend. Gina was seamless in her planning from drivers to trains to flights.
Of course I can’t leave without mentioning my absolute favorite planned event..Our pizza making class was top notch! From sampling olive oils to having Mario and Gennaro (the comic duo) teach us how to make pizza while taking pictures, serving us wine and making us laugh hysterically was a memory I will treasure always. Thank you so much for everything! I can’t say enough.

We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Italy, expertly planned by Gina. From the moment we landed in Rome to our final days on the Amalfi Coast, everything was flawless.
Gina crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced iconic sights and unique experiences. Our tours of the Colosseum and the Vatican were insightful and enriching, thanks to the knowledgeable guides she arranged. But it wasn’t just about seeing the sights—Gina ensured we had authentic Italian experiences, too. Cooking in our guide's home in Anacapri was a highlight, offering a personal touch that made us feel truly connected to the culture.
On the Amalfi Coast, the mozzarella-making and limoncello tasting were unforgettable, giving us a taste of local life and traditions. The entire trip was seamless, and we never had to worry about a thing—Gina had everything covered.
If you're looking for a travel specialist who listens to your needs and delivers an extraordinary travel experience, Gina is the one to go to. We can’t recommend her enough!

I wanted to sincerely thank you for your assistance with planning our trip to Italy! My family and I had an awesome time and made many wonderful memories. We were especially impressed with how seamless the transportation was and truly thank you for coordinating that important part of the trip. All drivers were punctual, professional, and most importantly got us where we needed to be.
You were right about Positano...it was magical. Thank you again for everything!!
We have passed your name on to others we know because of how impressed we were with your services. 🙂

Our family trip to Italy was nothing short of extraordinary. The most common phrase that was said throughout our trip was, “I am never booking a vacation without Gina and her team again.”
To say that our trip was a success would be an understatement. Gina and her team put together an incredible trip for the four of us traveling through Florence, Rome, Positano, and Capri.
Our days were filled with enchanting walking tours led by brilliant guides who brought the rich histories of Florence and Rome to life. We tasted wine at an incredible castle in Tuscany, visited the beaches of Positano, and even tried our hand at making mozzarella in Ravello. But the pinnacle was our private boat tour around the captivating island of Capri.
Every tour guide and class instructor was truly passionate about their work and was expertly chosen by Gina to make our trip as memorable as possible. Biagio and his wife, hosts of the mozzarella class, welcomed us like family, making the experience all the more special.
What truly stood out was the seamless organization. Assistants and drivers ensured that every step of our journey was stress-free. We never had to worry about logistics, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Italy. Without a doubt, we'll be booking our next adventure with AT Escapes!

As we are now one week home from our Italy trip, we may just be coming down from the high of an incredible two weeks.
We wanted to thank you and your team for an absolutely incredible and unforgettable holiday in Italy. Everything was perfect, from hotel accommodations, to guided tours, to private transfers. Of note, our day in Florence with Irene and our tour of Capri with Aziz stand out as highlight among highlights during our trip.
Thank You again. We are already discussing when we can get back as there is so much to still see and explore!
All the Best,

I loved all of it and appreciate the attention you give to all of the people you chose to be a part of your boutique trips. They work so well together and go above and beyond to share their expertise and make sure our needs are met.
I cannot say which experience I enjoyed the most as they were each very unique. Thank you for your attention to the details of our great trip.
Alberta Ellis
Amalfi Coast - June 2024
We had a fabulous trip! It’s really hard to pick a favorite place or day because everything was so unique that I loved it all. All of the guides you arranged were wonderful. We learned so much everywhere we went that I’m still remembering things everyday.
The wineries were picturesque and are hopefully etched in my memory because as hard as I tried the pictures just don’t do the scenery justice.
And the food! Wow! The winery tours and lunches were perfect and the Roman food tour was so much fun. I wish I had known more about Pompeii before we went there but we learned a lot during our tour.
I could go on and on about every day but I don’t want to bore you. Thanks for setting everything up. You are excellent at your job.
Thanks for everything!

Our Italy trip was planned so perfectly by AT Escapes. Everything about it was amazing. Our tour was to the Southern part of Italy. My husband and I visited Sicily, Tropea Calabria, Positano, and Capri.
The service, from all our rides from town to town and all the tours, was unbelievable. Gina took care of planning it out for us. We never had to wait for anything. All our tour guides were always there on time.
The hotels she picked out for us were all perfect, the locations were just where you needed to be - it was all convenient. She planned a couple boat tours for us that were so beautiful.
Everything about our trip was amazing. If traveling to Italy, I highly recommend going through AT Escapes. We had the best time. Thanks again.

Gina was absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to work with in helping us plan, organize, and make our Italian vacation a dream. She was always quick to respond with any questions or changes we had throughout the planning process.
It was such a relief to arrive in Italy and have all of the drivers, train tickets, tours, and hotels all arranged. It enabled us to enjoy our vacation and never have to worry about anything.
The hotels booked for us were all first-class. All of them are in the best locations and stunningly beautiful! Every place we stayed had excellent customer service and the most amazing breakfast. It included all of the local favorites and more. I can’t say enough about how delicious everything was. We couldn’t have asked for more. When the hotels, drivers, and guides found out we were with Gina we were treated like VIP’s. She is highly respected and loved in Italy.
An added bonus of being in Italy is having Fiammetta, Gina’s Operations Manager in Europe. Whenever we had a question she was quick to respond and assist. It was so helpful to have her local. Gina and Fiammetta make the best team and made our vacation a dream from start to finish. AT Escapes went above and beyond for us.

What a fabulous trip! Your hard work and attention to detail played such an integral part in making this journey so wonderful for Beth and me.
You have an amazing team. Everyone we met - whether they were transferring us from post to post, or providing deep insight during a guided tour - was polite, informative, helpful, and genuinely wanted to do everything they could to make our stay safe, fun, informative, and as "hassle-free" as possible.
A special "shout out" to Maggie, who took us on a journey through the Vatican that was truly mesmerizing. We also greatly enjoyed the golf tour of Rome. Our guide was well-versed and helped to make the experience even more special.
I'd also like to acknowledge the young man who drove with us from our residence to Vatican City, as well as to the train station on the morning that we left Rome for Naples. I believe his name is Edoardo, a young student of the sciences, who also has an insatiable passion for progressive rock music. As I am also a big fan of this genre, I would very much like to send him a gift that I think he would appreciate.
Our sincere thanks for helping to make this trip so special and so easy to navigate.

We can’t thank you enough for making our dream come true! Our Italy trip was more than we could have ever imagined! Your precise planning made everything a beautiful experience! 12 days of pure bliss without one glitch. You are a superstar and we so appreciate everything you have done for us!
When I close my eyes I see the cliffs of Positano, the exquisite sites of the Vatican, the old world beauty of Florence! Too many sights and sounds to mention!!
For now, I hold on to the beautiful memories made, the love of our culture and the precious time my husband and I spent celebrating our 40th anniversary in the most magical way we could have ever imagined!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

My husband and I got to enjoy a fabulous honeymoon trip to Spain, thanks to AT Escapes. Gina and her team made it such a smooth, easy planning process for us. She was always so attentive and gave us many helpful tips.
Our trip was nothing short of amazing. From Malaga to Seville to Barcelona, Gina made sure we stayed in the best spots. We appreciated not staying in the tourist spots but still being at a convenient busy upscale area! All of the tour guides and transportation that AT Escapes booked were awesome and everyone treated us like family.
One of the many things I truly appreciated was that Gina stayed within our budget while still giving us the best experience and hitting so many great spots. We would highly recommend Gina to anyone and cannot wait to book our next trip with AT Escapes!

We highly recommend Gina and AT Escapes to plan your trip to Italy. Gina planned the perfect two weeks for us. It was the trip of a lifetime. Every detail was well-planned and went smoothly. Even when we decided to get a driver to get us to Florence instead of the train, Gina and Fiammetta did a great job making that happen!
The tours, the cooking class, and wine taste were all very fun and well done. Each guide was so personable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed them all. Jumping off our boat into the waters around Capri was such a highlight as well. The hotels were wonderful and very accommodating.
If you are wondering if you should book your trip with Gina and AT Escapes…don’t wonder…do it. You will not regret it. Thanks, Gina!

We cannot recommend Gina and the AT Escapes Team enough! We had the most perfect honeymoon thanks to all their hard work planning and coordinating a custom trip! We can't imagine the amount of time and effort it took to coordinate hotels, drivers, train tickets, excursions, etc! Everything was seamless!
We really enjoyed all of the tours and excursions they planned for us - boat rides, museum tours, winery tastings, cooking class, and more! All of our tour guides were personable, knowledgeable, and fantastic to spend time with. We are so happy we used AT Escapes and will most certainly be using them in the future!

Gina made our trip to Italy amazing! Everything was perfectly timed and coordinated. We spent the correct amount of time in each city and had private & punctual drivers to take us everywhere.
Gina planned fun things for us to do including a boat ride, private tour of filmmaker's home where a famous movie was filmed and interesting walking tours with very knowledgeable guides. Our hotels were beautiful and we always had the best rooms! I would (and have) highly recommend AT Escapes for your European vacation!

Gina and her complete team AT Escapes are awesome. This trip was planned prior to Covid and had to be rescheduled several times due to the pandemic. Gina didn’t give up and made it happen for us though. Every detail in the planning was personal to us and the complete itinerary was well thought out.
We made it to 12 places in 2 weeks and didn’t feel rushed at all. We started in Paris and ended in Italy. The art/history is amazing in Italy, but the best parts for us was the agritourism tour, private Limoncello and Marmalade experience, and the cooking with lemons class in Amalfi.
Looking forward to more trips in the future, and Gina will definitely be our travel expert again. I already referred her to 3 people since I’ve been back. She’s definitely the best!

I just wanted to thank you for planning an amazing trip for Anna Marie and I. All of our drivers and guides were so friendly and helpful. We loved cooking with Gabriele. He was a great guide, chef and wonderful all around person and was so sweet helping Anna Marie.
While Anna Marie made the most of every moment the trip was impactful in ways I could not have imagined. Given Anna Marie's history of a brain tumor at the age of 2, it is really miraculous that she has survived for 24 years after all that treatment. As I watched her live life to the fullest on our trip, I was proud, elated, and excited to share this great adventure with her. All of your planning made it easy, accessible and created a fabulous adventure!
Thank you so much,

Once again another wonderful trip planned by Gina at AT Escapes.
Loved shopping in Milan, tour of Duomo that allowed you to walk on roof which gave you fantastic views of Milan and the Duomo. A day trip to Lake Como was spent with a wine tasting, visiting the cute villages and just enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake area. Then onto the train from Milan to Paris with my daughter and grandson.
What to say about Paris. My first visit to Paris was at age 21 in 1973 and I remember loving the city but a little overwhelmed, and I am sure I saw the city in a totally different way. Now in 2023 and a little older it is still a beautiful city and I loved it this time also.
The lights (Paris has a 2-hour daylight saving time- I thought it was never going to get dark to see those lights), the sights (so many), the cute cafes (again so many) with wonderful food and drink. And I can’t leave out the people of Paris who were friendly, kind and very helpful. ( I have never met a rude person in Paris even though that is what you always hear).
Our hotel which was located in The St Germaine area was ideal. Loved the location. What can I say except Paris is a beautiful city and one that should not be missed even though my love is for Italy.
Thanks to all the tour guides who are always the best, the drivers, and to Gina & AT Escapes for another wonderful trip.

Words can’t express how happy we are with everything that AT Escapes planned for our recent trip to Italy. Each daily excursion was absolutely amazing. From a wine tour in a magnificent castle in Tuscany, to a tour of a beautiful farm in Sorrento, we couldn’t be happier.
The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, the drivers were punctual, and everyone on Gina’s team couldn’t have been more accommodating. It was truly the trip of a lifetime and we couldn’t be more grateful to Gina and her team. We are definitely looking forward to planning another vacation in the near future!

Perfetto (Perfect)!! Limoncello making, private boat tour of Capri, walking the historic open markets of Palermo are just a few of the many memories we made on this trip. We worked very closely with Gina (CEO) to plan the trip in detail for our father‘s 80th birthday. We traveled from Rome to the Amalfi coast to Calabria and ended in Sicily.
The hotels and tour guides were phenomenal as were the drivers between cities. I’ve already recommended AT Escapes to multiple family members and friends, and we are already discussing our next trip to Italy!!

We went through Gina at AT Escapes for our honeymoon to Italy. After using her I couldn’t imagine ever traveling to Europe without her help! From the transfers, to the tour guides, the activities she set up and the hotels everything was top-notch!
She went above and beyond for us from the first time we spoke. I continuously talk about how fantastic her service was and highly recommend for anyone looking to travel.

This is our second time using Gina and her team at AT Escapes travel. The first time was a family vacation. Gina helped facilitate all our interests and tours to create the perfect trip. We visited Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast.
All the accommodations were beautiful. Gina planned trips to the wineries, sunset cruises on the sea, and of course historical tours. The tour guides and transportation drivers were all professional and made our trip easy and informative.
Our next trip, my husband and I used AT Escapes services to plan our ultimate Italian Beach getaway. This time I asked Gina to plan a more relaxing vacation where we could enjoy the sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery, and of course fabulous food and wine in Sicily. Gina did just that. AT Escapes met every expectation and provided seamless and stress-free travel.
I have recommended Gina and AT Escapes to several family members and friends because I know she delivers the best travel itineraries and knows Europe to provide memories that will last a lifetime.

Sicily - June 2023
When my wife Angela and I got engaged, we were deciding on where to plan our honeymoon trip. We are both Italian and had dreams of going to Italy at some point in our lives. We were referred to Gina and AT Escapes by family members and friends that have used Gina’s services and highly recommended her.
Gina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She asked us questions based on our preferences / tastes and she created a full itinerary that packaged everything together. Flights, transportation, destinations, lodging, tours, restaurant recommendations, and travel requirements were all included and made the whole planning process as painless as it could be.
Angela and I were blown away by the beauty that Italy offered. A big reason for that was because Gina’s package highlighted the best parts of each city/area we visited (the Sculpture of David in Florence, the Colosseum and Vatican in Rome, the private boat tour circling Capri, the Lemon Tour/cooking class in the Almalfi Coast, and much more). The tour guides, the drivers, the concierge at the hotels, and staff at restaurants were all more than accommodating.
This was truly an unforgettable experience and we have Gina and her team to thank for making this trip as special as it was. We highly recommend her as she will make your next trip one you will remember forever!

It has always been my lifelong dream to go to Italy. I promised myself that upon my 50th birthday, I would make this dream a reality. I became a bit overwhelmed once the planning began, thankfully I was given Gina’s information from a dear friend. Gina took the time to get to know us, what our interests were, things we wanted to see and do, and advised us on all pertinent details all while staying within our budget.
Gina presented my husband and I with an itinerary that surpassed my expectations. All the staff at “At Escapes” truly went above and beyond down to even the smallest details, from accommodations to car service to tour guides, we truly felt like royalty. What I thought would be the trip of a lifetime, turned into so much more, what an unforgettable experience!

Start to finish, our trip to the Amalfi Coast and Tuscany was amazing in every way. They thought of absolutely everything for us. We will forever remember the people we met during our travels from the drivers to the tour guides to the hotel staff, all set up by Gina. Even when we lost our passports, she took care of everything for us. This trip was rescheduled 3x due to Covid and Gina graciously helped us every step of the way. I would never want to travel without At Escapes. We are so grateful for the beautiful memories.

I just want to thank you again! Gina, our trip was nothing short of amazing! You planned the trip so perfectly for us, one would think that we were old friends. There is nothing that we would have changed. Also, mid to late October ended up being a wonderful time to visit. The temperature was never uncomfortable and there were no overwhelming crowds. Also, we aren’t typically the type to enjoy having a tour guide, but our time with Gabriele and Molly hold some of our most endearing memories. The Amalfi Coast and Tuscany have a piece of our hearts!

Gina and her team at AT Escapes went out of their way in every aspect of our trip to Italy and Greece. Our trip was delayed a year due to the pandemic, but that did not seem to phase the team at AT Escapes. They reworked our travel arrangements multiple times and made sure we capitalized on any available vouchers. All necessary information about traveling to Europe was provided in an organized and timely fashion. Gina was very easy to get ahold of and was always available to answer any questions we had for our first time traveling abroad. Our tour guides and drivers were some of the nicest and knowledgeable people we have come across. Our hotels were clean, had amazing views, and centrally located. Already thinking about our next trip!

Thank you so much for making our first trip so enjoyable! We can’t wait to go back, hopefully next year! Gabriele is one of a kind, you found a gem! Molly was fantastic too! Looking forward to working with you and your team again.
I’ve already given your information to a handful of people and let them know what a great job you did.
Thank you again!

Visiting Iceland was on our bucket list, so for our 40th anniversary my husband and I decided this is where we wanted to go. Not knowing where to begin, I reached out to Gina at Escapes Travel for guidance. I am so happy that I did!! She put together a great itinerary with attention to detail. Iceland is a beautiful country. If you appreciate nature and all it's wonder and beauty, Iceland is the place to go! Loved the culture, the people and the food was amazing too!!

Thank you for a fabulous trip. Every guide was someone I’d like to have as a friend. Their English was great, they were incredibly knowledge (especially Alex) and so willing to share all they knew. The hotel you booked us was the best hotel of our trip, and I was constantly amazed when our guide would find us at a train station or a crowded venue like the Vatican. It was worth every penny. Thank you for your time and patience with us.

Gina and her team from At Escapes made our honeymoon in Italy absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have imagined how well planned everything was. Each and every tour was thoughtfully charted and our tour guides were wonderful in each town. Every element of our trip was magical and we are already planning to work with Gina and her team again when we head to Sicily in two years. Thank you Gina for everything we look forward to the next one!

AT Escapes transformed our family trip to Italy from a dream to a reality! Gina and her wonderful staff were very professional, personable, and caring. We rate our experience from the extremely knowledgeable tour guides to the drivers and everything in between 5 stars. Our itinerary was well thought out and our tours were spectacular. We visited Venice, Rome, Reggio, Calabria, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast.
The coordination of tours and transportation could not have been better! We've told our friends who are planning trips to book with AT Escapes for all their travel needs! We had very high expectations for our trip of a lifetime and AT Escapes exceeded them all!

The Amalfi Coast as presented by AT Escapes was the perfect getaway. I loved the relaxation as much as I did the personalized tours. Pompeii was a surprise favorite for me as I learned so much from our personal tour guide. The cooking class and winery visit were inspiring and delicious. And the boat tour around Capri was the perfect outing. And did I mention shopping? This tour offers everything! I can't wait for the next adventure!

Traveling with AT Escapes is like reconnecting with an old friend you’ve not seen in a while…you just pick up where you left off from the last visit! Our trip to The Amalfi Coast was filled with all the highlights we’ve come to expect from an AT Escapes adventure…the “must-see” sights, the unique and very local flavors, and the unexpected experiences that can only happen because the itinerary allows freedom to explore. As always, a trip with lasting and treasured memories!

AT Escapes made our Italy trip dream a reality! Gina and her staff were helpful, personable, and treated my husband and I like they've been friends with us for years. Our experiences from the tour guides to the hotels and everything in between was second to none. Our itinerary was well thought out and we were able to check everything we wanted to do off our "list"! If it wasn't for AT Escapes services, there would have been no way we would've been able to do everything we wanted! We've already told our friends who are planning trips to look no further than AT Escapes for all their travel needs! Gina and her staff did not disappoint and we can't wait to use AT Escapes again!

I just wanted to thank you for all you did to make our trip to Barcelona and Florence so wonderful.
Everything was perfect, from the drivers to the hotels to the outstanding private tour guides. You made our vacation such an unforgettable one!
You did such an amazing job, always responding quickly to any questions or changes that we had to make. We will be returning to Europe, and wouldn’t think of making our plans without AT Escapes. We can’t say enough great things about you and your team, except “Brava!”

We absolutely loved the Greenwich Village Food Tour. I never would have ventured into that neighborhood on my own and I certainly wouldn’t have known where to find those fabulous places if it hadn’t been for the tour. I will recommend this tour to everyone I know.

Our tour was so well planned and thought out by you: with such incredible attention to every detail… I realize that our trip was so unique in that we had a small group and were able to travel in style… We were able to see parts of Rome that the average tourist would have undoubtedly missed.

Gina,
Thank you so much for planning the most wonderful tour to the Tuscany region of Italy. The hotels that we stayed in were truly first class. The sights that we saw were spectacular, but it was your personal touch that really made the whole trip so good. The cooking class that we took was so yummy and the chef spoke only Italian – but you were right there to translate for us.
Gloria
Tuscany Tour
Everything was so well-organized. I especially loved having the free time to explore and enjoy the sights, the sounds, and the people of Positano and Capri. Our hotel was top-notch, and the owners were like family. Everything we did was perfect, from the dinners to the winery to the trip to Capri. I don’t think we could have assembled a more perfect group if we tried. I think a huge part of that is that we all had a love of Adriana’s books in common. We had so much fun everytime we were together. You, Gina, and even Isabella were always there to answer a question, help with a side trip, or just have fun with the group. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. It far exceeded my expectations, and I’m definitely signing up for another one. This wasn’t your average tour; this was an exceptional experience!

Yet another flawlessly executed vacation with Gina and AT Escapes! Our recent trip to Greece was one of the best trips we have ever been on! We enjoyed the history and beauty of Athens and the picturesque relaxation of Santorini!
Our drivers and guides were exceptional! We spent a lot of our down time hanging out with them outside of their tour responsibilities! We made lasting friendships! The hotels were fantastic and we received service that far exceeded our expectations everywhere we went. I am still dreaming of all of the delicious Greek meals!
Can’t wait for our next AT Escape!

The Greece tour was a dream come true for me. Gina, our leader, was wonderful! She arranged a pampering, fun-filled,informative vacation.
In Athens and Santorini we were accompanied by tour guides that were both knowledgeable and entertaining. The hotels we stayed at were 5 star. The service given to us by the staff was first-class.
Watching history unfold in Athens was truly remarkable. The temples of the gods, the first Olympic stadium and museums were breathtaking. Watching the beautiful sunset on our private chartered dinner cruise in Santorini was something I'll never forget. I can't leave out all the wonderful people I met on this tour. They certainly helped to make this journey magical!

I have been home an entire day and I all ready can't wait to return - possibly the best trip I've ever taken.
Every detail was taken care of, wonderful hotel, beautiful scenery and marvelous cooking classes. The highlight, though, is the marvelous people that we spent the week with.

Thank you Gina for an amazing once in a lifetime family vacation. I didn't know what I didn't know. You and your team of guides did an amazing job from start to finish preparing me and my family for an exciting adventure to Italy. From the pre trip calls to helping us select tours and cities to visit, your patience and willingness to work with us was both profesional and courteous.
There were moments where I was really nervous traveling with such a diverse group. My mother in law with her special needs getting around Italy to keeping the teenagers engaged all came together with solid planning and well thought out advice. I couldn't image traveling back to Italy without my first call to you Gina! Next trip we are leaving the kids and the in laws at home. I hope to talk to you real soon.

People ask me about the highlight of my trip to Italy. I just can't decide! The incredible food! The surprise visit from Adriana! The wonderful docents who added so much to the cultural experience! My fellow travelers who became instant friends! Or the private boat ride through the grottos with a glass of wine in hand! It's impossible to choose! One amazing adventure, for sure!

Life is always a journey and you can make it more of an adventure when you travel with this fantastic group. Sevilla was gorgeous and the Alhambra is a design inspiration. After we left there we traveled to Gibraltar and ventured to the top of the "rock" where we could see the tip of Africa.
Our time in Gibraltar was hosted by a remarkable group of natives who guided us and we enjoyed the “locals" favorites. Yes!! we even saw the monkey's. It was truly memorable and can’t wait for the next adventure....

Gina, we cannot express how wonderful our trip turned out. You captured exactly what we were looking for in Tuscany, Assisi and Rome. The wineries and tours were fabulous!
We fell in love with Tuscany! And we met the priest in the small town in Chianti who renewed our vows in Italian during the 11:00 Sunday mass. What a wonderful way to celebrate our 40th anniversary. All the people in church came up to us after mass to wish us “auguri"!
Our tour of Assisi was inspirational. The guide you booked for us was a very nice person and so knowledgable.
The Majestic hotel in Rome was perfect and the driver to the airport was so charming. We have so many pictures that I will send you just a few. Thank you for making this trip a dream come true.

After you’ve had a truly wonderful “first experience,” you’re hesitant to believe that another opportunity will live up to the same standards. Our trip to the beautiful southern part of Spain and Gibraltar did that and more! Once again, Gina Casella was able to create an itinerary that made this adventure all we had hoped it would be. We experienced the full flavor of the region in every definition of the word. No matter how many times we travel with Adriana Trigiani Tours, each trip is always like the first experience - wonderful in every way!

Words and pictures do not tell the whole story of the wonderful adventure you and Gina took us on. Now there are so many moments in my day that wander off to the streets of Florence; the aroma of sumptuous food and wine; the sights of beautiful Capri…it warms my heart to be included on such a remarkable journey, and to have shared it with so many wonderful new friends. Grazie, grazie….my heart remains in Italy.
Erica

Everything was paced perfectly. Not so much walking that we were exhausted at the end of the day… I now have a new “family”. What a great and funny group they were. We had so many laughs and as you know, still keeping in touch with each other… I think having a small group made all the difference.

Our trip to Positano Italy was more than I had imagined. The location is like a storybook seaside village built into the side of a mountain. It is very unique, very picturesque. The food is delicious. We enjoyed everywhere we ate. One of the highlights was the cooking classes. Cooking with the Chefs in their kitchens was a great experience. We cooked with the freshest vegetables right from their gardens. The mozzarella, chicken and fish fresh that day. The hotel was charming and the staff very accommodating. Thank you Gina and Nikki, it certainly was a first-rate tour.

Adriana Trigiani Tours give you everything you want most in a vacation……beautiful and interesting destinations, comfortable lodgings, knowledgeable tour guides, world class meals, safe transfers and so much more. And, because of the small group, you get the added benefit of being able to create lasting friendships with your fellow travelers. On our recent Florence/Rome/Capri tour, Gina and Nikki made us feel like royalty the entire time. If you want a true “white glove experience”, an Adriana Trigiani Tour is the only way to go!
Susan

From the moment you arrive and are greeted by Adriana Trigiani Tours, you will discover new worlds and new experiences that can’t be matched. From an Italian Renaissance history professor sharing about art at the Uffizi in Florence to a behind-the-scenes tour of a winery and an afternoon repast in the Chianti region to a hands-on cooking class in a chef’s villa, you won’t want the trip to end. Adriana Trigiani Tours offers experiences and memories to last a lifetime. It’s bellisimo!

Every detail was well thought out — from the amazing choice of hotels, to the outstanding restaurants and food… I have traveled to Italy before — however this tour was full of new discoveries.

This was my second trip and it was as exciting as the first one. Gina and Nikki make every effort to see that all is taken care of. I love the fact that it is kept to a small group it gives you more of a family feeling. A great way to make new and lasting friends.

Everything was wonderful! Our tour director saw to our every need. Accommodations were 5-star… In addition, we were afforded some special experiences, such as a cooking lesson in the home of a local Florence chef, touring and having lunch at a local winery… Since our group was small (ten people), we were able to spend some quality time with everyone,making friendships that will last a lifetime.
