Venice Extension Tour

“Paola is the poster child for Italy. Her Italian heritage came shining through and her passion for Italy was addictive. We were always anticipating the next new adventure on the tour. She is very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and wonderful leadership qualities. Paola was attentive to all our needs and went above and beyond making us feel comfortable and so very excited to be there. She is the best!”

– Lydia in Stuart, FL

“Paola was the best guide ever!  She explained what we were going to see and do and assisted in any situation that came up.  Paola gave us Italian lessons, information about the towns and cities we were visiting, explained Italian folklore and customs, and gave wonderful recommendations about local foods.  At the end of our trip, we parted from Paola not as our guide but as a wonderful friend!  God willing, we would love to plan another trip with Paola as our guide!”

“Paola was absolutely fabulous…her grasp of the history, culture, etc. were impressive and her sense of humor made even the pouring rain tolerable. Her love of Italy was infectious, and it was hard not to get excited even about things that otherwise might have been mundane.”

–Terence in Dallas, TX

“Paola was awesome in getting us thru the sites and keeping us out of the hot sun. Her choices of restaurants were just unbelievable across the board.”

– Carol in Woodbury, CT

   

 

” Paola’s family heritage was a perfect complement to giving insight into Italian culture. Her art degree and background gave depth and meaning to art that I would never have experienced myself without spending excessive time and study.”

-Lawrence in Camano Island, WA

“The two most important factors when choosing this tour were the destination and having Paola as our tour guide. It was a family dream to go to Italy and we felt too overwhelmed to do it ourselves, but did not want the sterileness of a big tour company. The personal touch was ideal.”

– Donna in Branford, CT

“The tour was fabulous. The biggest reason it was so good was because of Paola. She planned a varied but relaxed trip, chose excellent accomodations and restaurants, and went above and beyond to help us find our ancestors and guide us through our first trip to Italy.”

– Charlie in Branford, CT

“Paola was terrific. I found her speaking was clear and always interesting; I never zoned out. She has a sense of timing like a comedian; you just never felt rushed or flustered. There was time to digest. She was very much in charge of the group, there when you needed her but not omnipresent. It was more like a rolling party with her as hostess. She is a very talented guide.”
