It was so reassuring to have a local contact that was available 24/7 in case of emergency, but also kept us well informed of our upcoming contacts. Our hotels, tours, and most importantly transfers were all amazing and seamless.

Access Italy was a fantastic partner throughout our trip to Italy. Every driver was very professional and arrived at or before the intended time. They sent a WhatsApp for the timing for the next day and were great at alerting us to any small changes. I really appreciated the clear instructions on where to meet every driver and guide. The hotels that we booked in Rome were stunning, convenient and filled with helpful and kind individuals who loved our kids. We were so happy with the stuff we booked and the free time that it allowed us for flexibility. I wish we had stayed in Sorrento vs. Naples, but that was just a learning on our side :) Overall we had a smooth trip, which is not easy when traveling with two kids under 4! Access Italy made it happen for us and I would be happy to book again or recommend to a friend.

We enjoyed the trip with Access Italy. We love that local guides are used. We love the reminders sent in a timely fashion for tours, transfer, etc. They provided a high end experience with a couple of minor issues. We are still waiting on some sort of compromise on a Lake Como boat tour. It was pricey, but we were assured of a top notch experience. Without boring you with details, I will say it fell short. I’m sure Access Italy will live up to their reputation and be in touch.

VENICE: We so much enjoyed the Bacaro tour with Giulia. It was unique and authentic, and delicious. We also had a wonderful time with her at Murano and the very beautiful Burano (not to mention the delicious risotto she recommended there). She is a lovely person and her insights as a local added to our experiences.We also really enjoyed the walking tour with Sam. He was very knowledgeable and we appreciated the flexibility we had with him. Sam's sharing of personal insights as a Venetian really added to our experience.The transfers from the airport and to the train station were seamless. SORRENTO: The very kind Ettorio was a wonderful driver as was our driver on the Amalfi coast who took as to a very memorable lunch spot. Kudos to Gaetano, our skipper, for our beautiful cruise and also memorable lunch at Nerano.His recommendations were right on point. POMPEII: Constanza was a wonderful tour guide at Pompeii and a lovely person. She navigated us through with so much information.

Every driver and tour guide was professional with a personal touch. Our main driver Giuseppe was funny and kind. Zenda was a tour guide who really understood what our family needed. She spent time on items our children were interested in and gave choices on other items. The pictures she took came out amazing. Even though I only mentioned these two people. Everything was smooth and fantastic!

Access Italy made thoughtful suggestions for restaurants, hotels and activities for our family especially given my mobility issues. The drivers and guides were extremely knowledgeable and prepared to accommodate my need for a wheelchair. They all were very friendly and kindly adjusted their discussions to the interests of our group. It was evident that Access Italy has strong connections and a well-respected reputation in Sicily. Our family always felt we were in good hands while with the Access Italy personnel.

Dream trip to Italy

Our recent trip to Italy was wonderful! We stayed in some of the most beautiful hotels in Florence and Rome, enjoyed walking tours to hit all the renaissance highlights, took a fun cooking class, and enjoyed lots of good food and gelato! We even got to stop in Tuscany for a cheese and wine tasting. Everything was beyond our expectations and planned to perfection. Access Italy provided some of the most knowledgeable tour guides and access to some once in a lifetime experiences. Minimal lines, and no wasted time! Our guide answered all of our questions and kept our children engaged the whole time. Our guide in Rome was amazing as well. We had her for several days and was clearly trained and educated so well. Great personality! She was flexible when our plans changed a little and was so accommodating to everything the group wanted to see or do. We were able to do a private tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, which were both truly experiences of a lifetime. Incredible!!

Access Italy made our most recent trip so easy and seamless. We had access to all of our reservations on an easy to use app and this made us confident we knew where to be and when. Our flight was delayed leaving Atlanta and they were already tracking our flight and were able to let our driver know we were running behind. Noemi with Access Italy would send me a GroupMe message every day with information on the next day's activities. I loved knowing that someone was available at all times if we needed anything.

The Best of Italy

By: Nancy


Reviewed on: 28 Jun 2023

Access Italy planned a good chunk of my trip including private drivers, private tour guides in select towns/cities, winery tours, a private cooking class, and all transfers. As with Annie, they did an excellent job. Working jointly with Annie, they helped make my vision a reality and every single part of my trip was perfection. I heard from various service providers (i.e., drivers, winery employees) that Access Italy was the best and being family owned, the owner actually experiences things/services before he will recommend them. Excellent experience!
