Sense of Italy

Sense of Italy, second trip ...Venice and Tuscany 4/11/22Once again, Sense of Italy outdid itself on a terrific vacation to Italy. It was beyond our expectations!The highlights were continuous and we had great experiences with the selected locations and people with expertise. Everybody seems to love Sense of Italy! Venice was wonderful with our Limo boat trip and Murano Glass factory tour…..we were the only ones there! We had some great experiences and the tops in my book was the Tuscany cooking Class with Lorenza, and the expertise of Alessandra at Assisi. She should have been a history professor. Probably the best and most passionate guide I have experienced. The cooking class with Lorenza will never be forgotten and we are already in the hunt for a Pasta machine like she had. The selected Boutique hotels were great, and we experienced the Tuscany we were looking for. Sense of Italy is on top of your trip at all times and made our trip as trouble free as we could have imagined. The followup on our trip in real time as it progressed, was the best I have ever seen. The same goes for all our drivers….very helpful, knowledgeable and first class Mercedes vehicles.Sense of Italy checked in with them every single day.Sense of Italy is the best if you want a great experience in any part of Italy. Our first trip was Rome, Amalfi, Naples and Florence and was fabulous. This one was Venice, and the Tuscany area…..even better!Their quality and service are second to none. Giuliana gets personally involved to make your stay as terrific as possible. You won’t be disappointed with this company’s performance.Greg and Carol SebaldShakopee, Mn, USA

There are not enough glowing words of praise to shower upon Giuliana Pinelli and her Sense of Italy services. She worked with my wife to plan a marvelous 11-day trip to Italy that started in Rome, went to Florence, Tuscany, then ended in Venice. From the moment we came out of the baggage claim area in Rome to when we were left at the check-in desk in Venice, Giuliana and her associates were always available to guide and assist us in having one of the best travel experiences we have had. The numerous drivers who got us from one place to another were all crisply on time, knowledgeable of the best routes and impressively capable drivers. Lord knows I'd not try to navigate some of the tight fits that were quickly & successfully navigated. The Tour Guides she arranged were all fluent in English, well informed, entertaining, excellent communicators who went out of their way to understand our interests and tried their best to match them with our experiences. We had 3 wine tasting lunches" which were totally delightful

Giuliana (Sense of Italy) is simply the best. She set up 8 unforgettable days in northern Italy…. and every day unfolded like a gift. She followed our daily progress and each day invariably made dinner reservations at a wonderful restaurant for us we would never had discovered on our own. I can not recommend her highly enough.

Touring Northern Italy with Sense of Italy was the best. Giuliana was receptive to everything on our wish list and organized a delightful trip.. Hotels ( we always had the best views from our rooms), restaurants, and guides were amazing. Transports always on time. Giuliana was our guardian angel - she was in communication with our group of six and ready to help if any snags occurred. There were none! I highly recommend Giuliana’s Sense of Italy for a wonderful, stress-free experience.

Giuliana helped us organize a wonderful family trip through Venice, Florence and the Amalfi Coast. The hotels, restaurants and guides were all amazing. Everything was very well organized. We would highly recommend her services to everyone.

Giuliana and Sense of Italy made a long awaited dream trip to Italy come true for my husband and myself. Two weeks visiting the most beautiful parts of Italy. Venice, Florence, Siena, Tuscany, Naples, Pompei, Positano, Capri, Sorrento, Amalfi, Ravello and Rome. We felt like royalty. Incredible guides brought the history to life. We were overly spoiled by the most attentive drivers in luxury cars. They became caring friends. The beautiful itinerary every day surpassed our expectations. We will never travel back to Italy without having Giuliana handling our trip.

We just returned from the trip of a lifetime, meticulously planned, and flawlessly executed by Giuliana and her team at Sense of Italy. Her intimate relationship to this beautiful country coupled with her sincere attempt to understand her client led to a truly customized and rewarding experience.The choice of hotels were spot on, not just for level of accommodation, but for location and value as well. The tour guides were experts in their field, personable, and totally comfortable with English. Our drivers were professional and engaging, all effusive in their pride and knowledge of locale. Restaurant recommendations were spot on and with Giuliana’s advance reservations our dietary restrictions were easily accommodated.With virtually every interaction with any of the above it was apparent that Giuliana’s reputation preceded it, and we felt that we were treated a little extra specially because of it.Needless to say we’re already looking forward to Sense of Italy planning our next adventure.

Giuliana was absolutely the best with creating our itinerary and being with us every step of the way on our trip. Everything went perfectly and we would highly recommend Giuliana to anyone traveling in Italy.

We had the family vacation of a lifetime and it was perfectly planned by Giuliana and Sense of Italy. We spent 2 weeks enjoying all that Italy has to offer without worrying about logistics and execution. Every detail was planned out and Giuliana was in constant contact to assist with every inquiry and need. We highly recommend her services.
