P B, CANADA
The tour was terrific as was the hotel accommodation, and Andy was the best! It was well organized and we didn’t skip a beat. That last night at the farmhouse was memorable and the perfect send-off. The tour guides in each of the cities we visited were well informed and did a great job explaining what we were seeing.
I highly recommended Italy With Pleasure to people I know that might be interested in travel to Italy. The small group size, and in our tour, Andy, is what makes it happen.
J I, AUSTRALIA
The tour was first class, excellent in every way. An amazing way to see & learn about Puglia. The accomodation, sightseeing, superb food & mini van with great driver and Anita leading the group was sensational.
We highly recommend this is the best way to see and learn about Puglia.
M G, USA
We had a most wonderful time and a most wonderful tour guide, Mark. Mark was personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. We would love him as our guide on another tour. Each town we visited had another guide specific to the that history and culture. Everything was beautifully planned out and well executed. Our room was beautiful, our view was breathtaking, we could not have asked for a more memorable trip!!
Why travel with us
We are a hands-on company. Family run. A small team. This means that we are genuinely interested in the success and enjoyment of your tour, and your time here in Italy.
The personal touch
The feel of our tours is like travelling with a group of friends. We make our tour the style that you want, for example our focus on good restaurants – the sort of places you’d choose yourself. And not cramming too much into one day. All this gives your time with us a less commercial feel and ensures that we maintain a relaxed atmosphere.
Your tour leader is your ‘safety net’
Many people appreciate having their tour leader to be able to turn to, whether it be for help getting something from a pharmacy / drugstore, or simply where to find the best gelato! While you are far from home, you can count on your tour leader and their support team for anything that you need to deal with.
We have a maximum of 14 in our tour groups
and this is a very important feature. We’ve trialled a range of group sizes over the years, and even with a group of 16-18 people, you start to lose that personal touch. We find anything up to 14 works well and gives you a focussed and in-depth tour – we know that not exceeding that maximum number is key to this.
Free time
An aspect of our tours is the time we build into the programme for you to explore places independently. In fact, this is as important as our guided visits in creating strong memories of your time in Italy. Even if this just means sitting in the piazza with a coffee, some time at your own pace is a good complement to the time we spend as a group.
We Refund Your Deposit
Your deposit is fully refundable, up until ten weeks before the tour start date. We recognise that your plans may need to change, perhaps for circumstances beyond your control – and we do not penalise you for this. This flexibility around your booking exceeds what is normally found (most tour operators require non refundable deposits)
Comprehensive Price
It includes transport, accommodation, and all the visits and activities listed in the itinerary. Really the only thing left is dinner some days – we include breakfast and lunch, and actually most people eat very lightly in the evenings after our Italian long lunches! We don't have paid add-ons that are found with other tours.
