EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Simon Tanner8 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio organised a wonderful two-centre trip for us. He listened to our requirements and designed an itinerary that fulfilled our needs perfectly. All the arrangements (hotels, transfers, bike hire, train tickets etc.) went smoothly and Antonio was available before and during the holiday to answer any queries. He is helpful and charming. The pricing was very competitive and the holiday good value for money. I would recommend ExpertoItaly to anyone looking for knowledgeable, excellent customer service and look forward to using Antonio’s services again in the future. Paul Bowtell2 July 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would recommend ExpertoItaly to anyone. Antonio's expertise and great customer service combined to make our Sicily holiday a 100% hit. We had a rough idea of where and what we wanted to do, but Antonio fine tuned our ideas into a fabulous itinerary (Syracusa and Savoca based). He helped smooth any problems, gently reminded us to fill in the needed forms/provide info and made sure all was going well. Can't praise him enough, especially as he is a very small operation. Anna Connor24 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would not hesitate to recommend Antonio - who planned our perfect honeymoon. I got in touch asking for advice on Italy 3-week itineraries, he sent a few options and I picked one and we worked together to adapt and perfect the locations we wanted to visit. Antonio then booked accommodation in each place, even being so specific to choose exact rooms he thought were the best in each hotel. He reserved cars, ferries and private transfers throughout the trip and took all the stress away and everything went seamlessly. His knowledge of every place and the activities to do / restaurants to visit was so helpful too. We ended up experiencing such a varied and beautiful Italy and visited places we would not have known about if not for Antonio. He is always available on whatsapp or for a phone call and was so helpful in changing our plans slightly when our flight got cancelled, and always available whilst we were away if we had any questions. If you are thinking of an Italian holiday do it! Who better to help plan than an Italian that is passionate about all his country has to offer? Adam R20 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment we were introduced to Antonio, we knew we were about to embark on a fabulous holiday. We simply told him that we wanted a week away in Sicily. He did the rest.. from arranging top quality transfers to planning the trip incorporating two fabulous hotels. Focused on the minute detail, to setting up a WhatsApp group so that we could keep in touch whilst we were away, his service was impeccable. Without doubt, when we next venture to Italy, he will be our first call and I suggest you do the same! Mike Girling (No nickname)31 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just back from 10 wonderful days in Sicily a fantastic trip made possible by the sheer expertise of Antonio. We had considered going to Sicily on 3 separate occasions but it was only when we spent time talking to Antonio that the magic of a trip to Sicily became a reality. His choice of accommodation has enabled us to experience genuine Sicilian hospitality at its best in fantastic locations and with expert guides to ensure we fully appreciated our surroundings. We didn't want to drive so Antonio organized drivers to transport us between locations. We have had a memorable experience and will use Antonio again to ensure we have further great times in Italy. Thank you Antonio Mike & Diane Elaine Yeoh8 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Antonio Cresce to plan and manage our 2.5 week holiday in Italy - covering regions around Turin, Lake Maggiore and Verona. He was amazing from the planning stages, helping us to pick towns as bases, according to our needs and interests . We had video calls with him where he listened to what we wanted and we planned the details together. When we were in Italy, he kept in close contact and was readily available for any questions or issues we came across . The hotels he chose were incredible , and the excursions from the towns we stayed in were interesting and great experiences. His contacts, his experience and his professionalism made our holiday in Italy seamless and a truly wonderful experience! We would highly recommend Antonio from Expert to Italy ! Chloe Van Someren25 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just returned from a 2 week honeymoon and it could not have been better! Antonio helped us decide exactly where to go based on what we wanted and went above and beyond for us. His knowledge is incredible and everything was organised so well, he listened to us and answered every question we had along the way. Each place we stayed in was the best accommodation available in the area and we couldn't have asked for more, without his expertise the trip would not have been as perfect as it was. We will always go through him in future when heading to Italy. Jeremy Lewis14 September 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio proved a fantastic agent. Nothing was too much trouble and he was super communicative and responsive He picked great hotels in great locations and our trip round Sicily was faultless Would recommend 100% Jo Davison29 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio was very knowledgable and gave us some good tips. He helped create an itinerary and booked a hotel for us which we would never have known about without him. If you are looking to book a trip to Italy, Antonio is your guy! Nina Soloway12 August 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Antonio for all the recommendations and ensuring that everything from hotels to transfers ran smoothly. Will definitely be in touch next time we plan to travel to Italy. Highly recommend.
