Savour Italy Tours

Savour Italy Tours, Antonio and Coltura are great. The Trip they coordinated for my wife and me to Florence and Sienna exceeded our expectations. The arrangements were flawless. The hotels were more than nice. The drivers who escorted us on several tours were very knowledgeable and very friendly. The Winery Tours were perfect. I will recommend them to anyone that asks and will use them again for our next trip.

As an older tour group participant, who had not taken part in organised tours before, I was totally delighted with my Savour Italy experience with Antonio in Southern Italy and Sicily. There were a couple of days that I found quite challenging but was amazed with what I could accomplish. I always felt safe and secure with Antonio and our super driver, Giuseppe. The itinerary balanced more arduous days with quieter ones and the choice of accomodation was excellent. The food and wine was outstanding, and I could really see that his close personal contact with the experience providers added an extra dimension to our enjoyment.

We have enjoyed each of the four tours with Savour Italy. Antonio's first-hand knowledge of Italy, Italian culture, food and wine as well as commitment to service and care of the participants is first rate. Especially noteworthy, is Antonio's ability to include direct contact with family run wineries and cooking classes adds a true touch his tours.

The experience in booking with Savour was nothing short of seamless. It's exactly what you're looking for if you're hoping for a stress-free planning process where you only focus on the excitement of what's to come.From beginning to end Antonio and the Savour team took care of us in the most professional, customized way. I knew we were in the right hands after submitting an online request and Antonio, the owner, called me himself to discuss what we were looking for in our trip to Italy. We never felt like we were pushed around a big corporation or receiving templated itineraries. They took everything into consideration down to adjusting our timeline due to anxious fliers.Some of the highlights:- A wonderful balance of on-the-move" mixed with down time to relax.- Locations of all of our hotels were perfecto! Our hotel in Rome was right next to a large park which allowed us to start our days with a nice long walk. The hotels themself had fantastic hospitality and service. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful every step of the way.- Our lodging in Tuscany was truly a gem - a place we will never forget and will definitely be returning to. The grounds and our room were exactly what we look for in a property. I can't speak of it highly enough.All of our drivers & guides were so friendly and welcoming. We felt a close bond with all of them. Our small group cooking class was truly unforgettable! One of the highlights.Any feedback or questions we had during or after the trip was met with immediate responses

The team and Savour Italy (Coltura, Antonio) planned my wife and my 25th anniversary trip to Italy, and everything was absolutely seamless and first class. From private driver pickups, to our own tour guide for a Colosseum/Forum tour, to winery recommendations in Tuscany, everything was exceptional. Highly recommend their services.

There is only one way to describe a Savour Italy tour...in superlatives. From initial booking to final farewell, Antonio and his gang do their utmost to ensure you have a wonderful trip sometimes off the beaten track. The memories of a recent 13 day trip to Puglia and Sicily are still fresh and warm. Great food, wine, activities and tours. I've done 2 tours with Savour Italy and am looking forward to another...the sooner; the better.

This was an amazing tour of Southern Italy and Sicily. Everything was organized and taken care of. I was able to just experience all the wonders of the wine, food and culture of the regions. This is my second tour with Antonio and I am in the process of booking my third! Having also done bus tours and cruises with other companies, nothing compares to this experience! You visit places off the beaten path and have wonderful encounters with the locals. It is so worth it and I highly recommend any tour with Savour Italy!!!!

I've just completed the 13 day Southern Italy and Sicily tour led by Antonio Mauriello the owner. It's my second tour with his company and I was once again totally in awe of the entire experience. The tour was a bit more customized as a food and wine tour for our small group of 19 friends and colleagues. The final itinerary was just perfect, a mix of sights, tastes and downtime. The hotels he selected were all wonderful, and all food and tasting experiences were unique and memorable. Antonio's passion for his homeland and his connections to the people who live and work here is heartfelt. He supports local business, many of whom he has incubated in their early years and you can tell they absolutely love him here. The trip was snag-free and part of that was also the amazing transportation he had arranged. We felt safe and secure as we navigated some very challenging switchbacks and narrow streets. Both the large and small coach buses were new and excellently equipped and maintained. I cannot recommend Savour Italy Tours enough and I looking forward to my next adventure with them. Thank you so much Antonio and also to your entire team of guides and staff in the Ottawa office.

Our custom ten-day itinerary turned out beautifully! We had compared Savour Italy's services against the typical cookie-cutter pre-packaged vacation plans. While they did cost 30-40% less, we were more than happy to spend the extra money to create our own personalized itinerary and just as importantly stay in much nicer accommodations and receive first class services throughout our trip. All of our accomodations, hotel car transfers, trains, excursions, etc all happened right on time and as planned, making for a seamless experience with no downtime or waiting around. The hotels were beautiful four and five star rated, every car was a black Mercedes, each tour was just us or a small group with bypass the line entry. He was even thorough enough to leave us lists of restaurants for each town we visted.I would encourage anyone considering using Savour Italy to reach out to them to discuss your travel plans. Our final choices ended up being 90-95% of what Antonio had originally planned for us. His great experience planned us the perfect tip with very little effort.

Wow! Just got back from the most incredible custom tour of Italy. Antonio and team, I really cannot say enough about the way they designed our tour for us. From the most spectacular hotels that were chosen, oto the great communication every step of the process and also on our tour.The details were amazing, the restaurants recommend were great, our tours were perfect as well! Started in Rome, then Vietri Sul Mare, sorrento, lecce, bari and then back to rome. Every step of the way our guides and drivers showed up and were soPersonable. In the past we have toured Italy through a tour company and the fact that you are on a bus for hours, have to wake up early, some days go on two or three tours that really are not that interesting and in large groups. This tour was absolutely a tour of a lifetime! Thank you so very much Savour Tours for the awesome memories of this beautiful country! Bravo!Savour Tours we would highly recommend!Terri and Will PetrachekStoney creek, Ontario
