“What an incredible holiday you created for us. Your delightful enthusiasm was contagious! I could never have found all the beautiful walks in stunning out of the way places that you took us on. So much fun. Best holiday ever!”

Deb took us to many amazing little out of the way places as well as many of the ‘must sees’. She knew all the great little cafes, bars, restaurants and sights that were off the normal tourist grid. This made the experience an authentic and truly memorable one. Unlike many tours there was plenty of flexibility in the itinerary to do your own thing and explore on your own terms. I thoroughly recommend anyone who wants the real Italian experience to travel with Deb.

“Loved your quirkiness and sense of adventure. Every day was filled with delightfully unexpected morsels of great food, laughter and FUN! The walks were sensational and challenging and I loved every minute!! Thanks, Deb, for helping me to fall in love with Italy all over again.”

Deb’s knowledge, planning and energy are what I love most. Small groups and great interaction with people happy to share this authentic taste of Italy. Do yourself a favour and experience this sensational country with Deb – you’ll be sorry if you don’t.

What an incredible time we had on our first trip to Italy. From day one we were blown away. We loved all the little, hidden towns on the Tuscany tour and had enough time everywhere to create indelible memories. After being home for three months, we planned our next tour with Deb which was the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. Again, Deb gave us the best holiday ever as she puts 100% into it. We would return to Italy in a heartbeat to join another Ciao Italy tour.

Wow! I love Deb’s tours so much I have done eleven. Every trip has been an amazing experience full of unexpected delights. Deb is so passionate about putting together an Italian adventure that will literally change your life forever. I know I will go again and continue my love affair with Italy!

Discover Italy like a local. That’s the experience you get on Deb’s tours. The small group is perfect for eating at hidden cafes and bars known only to locals and seeing places you’d never find on your own. We loved the flexibility of options every day to appeal to individual interests. Two tours so far with Deb and we’re keen to go again.

Deb’s passion and enthusiasm for all things Italian means everyone in her small groups, either seasoned or first time novices, receive an amazingly well researched experience in Italy. Deb loves ‘the scene behind the scenes” and introduces her travellers to places in Italy generally only seen by locals. Our first tour was in 2019 and we have done seven more since, even repeating two of the tours!

We have loved it all – from the Tuscany tour in 2022, Sicily in 2023, Amalfi Coast in 2024 and the Dolomites in 2025! You have done an incredible job with the Dolomites tour. We didn’t want it to end and are tempted to go again next year. Everything was perfect from the accommodation to the food to the stunning scenery. 

Deb, I had the best time! You are professional, passionate, energetic and devoted to what you do. I cannot put into words how much I loved every single minute, experienced so much more than I imagined – memories and photos forever. You truly are amazing! 

Deb, thank you so much for such a wonderful trip. Sarah and I had a blast. You are amazing at what you do. All the care and detail you put into our Lake Garda/Dolomites trip was outstanding.
