Great pace, a range of always excellent accommodation and an interesting suggested itinerary. We would highly recommend Expert to Italy and look forward to planning our next getaway with Antonio.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just back from another delightful holiday organised from start to finish by the Italian "Expert" Antonio. After several discussions with him we decided to have an eleven day trip to the Amalfi coast and Ischia and thanks to his intimate knowledge of the area we had a most enjoyable and memorable time. Ischia in particular was absolutely wonderful. Antonios advice on the boutique hotels, guided tours, and places to visit were exemplary as were the drivers he booked to ferry us around. In addition to all the knowledge and advice he provides, this time, we encountered a couple of problems of our own making, but a quick WhatsApp to Antonio and within 24 hours both problems were solved. So if you are looking for an independent holiday in Italy along with great support we have no hesitation in recommending Antonio Mike & DianePosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ExpertoItaly is a brilliant company, and Antonio organised a wonderful holiday for us in Puglia a region we did not know. His suggestions were all fantastic. He listens to what you want to do and works your holiday around that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone contemplating a holiday in Italy. Thank you so much, Antonio!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Antonio Cresce to plan and manage our 3 week holiday in Italy - covering towns in the regions of Puglia, Basilicata ,Calabria and Campania. Our holiday was seamless and exceeded all our expectations, and I would highly recommend Antonio / Expert to Italy for all your holiday planning and needs. From the point of choosing destinations, Antonio was collaborative and listened to everything on our wishlist . The towns he chose for us were exactly the places that we loved .. off the beaten track, charming and authentic Italy ! He picked our accomodation and again there was a lot of collaboration over our needs and we loved the choices . The tours he organised were exceptional. I wanted to see wildflowers and orchids and he engaged experts to take me around the national parks . I would never have been able to source the contacts and organise the excursions as perfectly as it was done . Some of the best moments of our travels , ever! Transfers were professional and seamless. Antonio remained fully contactable throughout our trip for questions , help and any details we needed. We felt fully secure and confident that we had an agent travelling along with us at every step! It was a huge benefit as well having him in the rough time zones as Italy where he is based in the UK, so that any questions were promptly answered and sorted . This could have been more problematic if we had engaged someone from home in Australia with the big difference in time zones . We appreciated his travel advice and recommendations, his work ethics , his professionalism and how he went over and beyond to make our holiday truly exceptional!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio is super helpful and efficient and he knows Italy. He arranged our three centre Italian holiday, booked all train tickets, taxis and hotels and suggested places we wouldn't have thought of. You can have an independent holiday without problems, even in a less touristy area, because he's organised everyone for you and he's a back up if anything goes wrong. Thanks Antonio, be in touch next time!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio was a delight to deal with. He was knowledgable, friendly and very patient when we changed our plans several times! His choices of hotels were exceptionally good and he was very responsive when we had a little hiccup with the car rental. Highly recommend his services.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used ExpertoItaly to help us with our two-week holiday in Sicily. We had a couple of interactions with Antonio, and were very fast to close on our itinerary and hotels. Everyting was very well organized and suitable to our requirements. Antonio chose very good accommodations: small beautiful, full of character and well located. He also booked our bus trips as we did not want to rent a car. That worked really well. It was a great help and gave us great confidence for our trip. We strongly recommend ExpertoItaly if you want customised holidays in Italy. We will use it again for future traveling in Italy!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio is an expert on Italy so if you are planning a trip then you should definitely use ExpertoItaly. He helped us plan the perfect family trip and we cannot fault any of his recommendations. From car hire, to the perfect hotels and apartments, he is highly knowledgeable and it doesn't stop with planning. He was on hand to be available if we needed his help while on the trip. His customer service is first class. Thank you so so much and we look forward to planning our next trip with you.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Antonio was really helpful in planning our trip to Italy. We wanted to visit 3 locations, he provided recommendations on accomodations which were great - really good locations for each booking. He also coordinated taxis and trains and provided a load of suggestions for each location for places to eat and sites to visit. He was readily available to answer any questions we had by email or WhatsApp. His assistance really helped us in planning this trip and saved us a lot of stress in trying to coordinate this ourselves. All in all we had a great holidayPosted on GoogleTrustindex 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.
