I contacted Italy With Bella to help plan a Christmas trip to Puglia with fairly short notice. I have never traveled internationally before and I have listened to the podcast for sometime and was excited to work with them. They planned a vacation for my adult daughter and myself that was far and beyond anything I could have imagined. We had a private Vatican tour and the most amazing private cooking lesson in Rome. They booked all of the transportation to get to Bari and arranged for a driver to get us to the very small village where my grandfather grew up. With that I was able to find my grandfather’s childhood home and spend time in his town. They planned excursions to Alberobello, Locorotondo, and Matera and a walking food tour in Bari. I did eat all the raw seafood at the fisherman’s market! We were there over Christmas so they set us up in an apartment with a kitchen so I was able to cook our own Christmas breakfast and dinner. With all the stress and struggles that can come with traveling, luggage issues, flight delays, it was so nice to not have to stress about planning how we were going to spend our days, where to eat, how to navigate areas… I cannot recommend Italy With Bella enough!

What do you do when you've been to Rome numerous times, but want to show your adult daughter a good mix of unique experiences, tours, culture, and great food? You call Italy with Bella to curate another trip for you! They did an amazing job planning a trip for us in April, and it was a no-brainer to call them again for help with our trip to Rome. She loved every minute and had so much fun shopping and cooking with a local, tours with art historians and archeologists, golf cart tours and more! So what are you waiting for? You will have a trip of a lifetime EVERY time you use Italy with Bella!

We just returned from our second trip to Italy planned and organized by Italy with Bella, this time to Puglia and Matera. Once again the itinerary, tours, accommodations and meals planned by Italy with Bella were absolutely fabulous making this trip (with seven family members ages 25 - 83) one of the best ever. We highly recommend Puglia and Matera and using the team at Italy with Bella.

Italy with Bella was fantastic! They took all of our ideas for a trip to Italy and turned them into an itinerary where we didn’t have to worry about a thing. While we were on our trip, they were extremely helpful helping us rearrange and pivot after some airline issues and continued to check in on us after we arrived.Thank you, Italy with Bella, for helping us make memories that will last a lifetime! If you’re thinking about a trip to Italy, I highly recommend booking with them!

The trip was the best trip we have ever taken. The Bella planning and exectuion was nothing short of perfect. Bella has a system of service providers in italy that simply works. Restaurant reservations were all wonderful. Not tourist stops. Lodgin was acceptable, I will note not five star, but acceptable. Clean and quiet and serice oriented. The tour guides were all college educated. Good English. I have taken trips on Viking and Tauck. They are good but the bella trip was personal. We did not follow a guide around the city who was carrying a flag and speaking through a microphone.

I don’t even know where to start. If they have more stars to offer than five, I would give it; everything about this trip was five-star and amazing!We had talked for years about going to Italy. I finally decided to make it happen for our 25th wedding anniversary. Anthony and Denise met with us and asked us what we wanted to do, and we simply said we just want to go to Italy.From there, they did everything, and I mean everything! Booked our flights booked our hotels booked our tours made dinner reservations, I’m not so sure they weren’t the ones in our room, making our beds up every morning!Directions to meet or tour guides, the restaurants they chose for us to eat in or perfect. They took the time to meet with us and get to know us more in order that they could put us in the right type of restaurants and things that they felt would match what we were looking for, and they did not disappoint. In fact, the entire team that communicated with us all the way before the trip, and during the trip were professional, and great throughout the entire process.I’m not a person of many words, but I could go on for days about the amazing experience that we had from start to finish. Every penny that I spent was well worth it, and if you want an amazing trip to Italy, you absolutely should look no further and use Italy W/Bella to book your wonderful experience!!

Our trip was fantastic and well planned! The team of Italy with Bella was fabulous to work with and laid everything out so well. They were easy to get ahold of during our trip and quickly responded to any questions we had. The app they use has all your details, helpful suggestions, maps and everything you need in one location. It was a breeze to navigate and made traveling abroad very comfortable having all the knowledge we needed. We would highly recommend planning your trip with Bella!

Ok, so I’m not much of a leave a review kind of a person and I don’t really think it is possible to describe how good our trip to Italy was for my wife Robyn and I but will give it a try.Italy with Bella did everything but fly the plane(at least we don’t think they did) From the day we decided to go to Italy until the day we got home Anthony, Denise and crew planned, communicated, executed our trip to perfection, we just had to show up! When I say everything I mean everything. Flights were reserved, transportation between cities were reserved. In Venice, Bologna, Tuscany and Rome, hotel reservations were reserved, lunch and dinner reservations were made, winery tour, food tours, site tours were all reserved and done without a hitch.We were prepared to go travel because of the diligent planning and preparations we had with Italy with Bella. Through phone calls, zoom calls and in person meetings. On top of that, everything we discussed and planned was reinforced on an app called “trip plans”, which gave you an overview of each city, listed all of your reservations along with menus, addresses, other things to do, alternative places to eat, attractions to see etc.Italy was even more beautiful than we imagined. The food, architecture and history was amazing. This trip to Italy was a bucket list trip and we made memories together that we will talk about for the rest of our lives. We owe it all to Italy with Bella. We could not have put together a trip that resembled anything like what Italy with Bella put together for us.If you are planning on going to Italy now or in the future, you need to use Italy with Bella. End of story!!Respectfully,Carey Goodside

We experienced quite a journey through Bella. It was not a vacation, because we were busy bees, but we dubbed it more an adventure! Every moment was so packed with experiences and interesting excursions. This was our first time in Italy and we will be unpacking the memories for a long time to come. Hopeful to return again and see more of this beautiful country.

Amazing 10 days across Southern Italy. Italy with Bella took care of everything: the best hotels, restaurants, transportation and activities. We are already planning our next trip.

Italy wjth Bella planned an absolutely amazing trip. Everything was so detailed and made travel stress free! They listened to our preferences and exceeded our expectations. We had them plan our honeymoon and it was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Couldn’t recommend them more!

We had Italy with Bella plan our family vacation. We have never been to Italy before. They booked us at beautiful hotels, "hidden gem restaurants", and amazing tours. Couldn't have done this without their guidance and services. Denise, Anthony, and their staff did an amazing job start to finish. We highly recommend using them if you want to experience Italy without any worries. It was wonderful and easy dealing with Italy with Bella.

After years of dreaming of a trip to Italy, I finally made it happen with the help of the wonderful team at Italy with Bella. From our first exploratory conversation with Anthony and Denise, to arriving home after a fabulous trip, I couldn't have asked for a more collaborative and enjoyable experience. The details provided in our itinerary, the communication throughout the trip, and the carefully thought-out tours and experiences in each location were so very much appreciated and made the trip so easy to navigate. They had listened to what we were interested in seeing and doing and brought their expertise to create an itinerary and tours that matched our interests. This was a dream vacation and the Italy with Bella team were a dream to work with - I highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to bella Italia!!

Bella is the best way to see Italy. Their attention to detail and level of quality surpasses five stars. The lodging and restaurant recommendations were all excellent. The locations were perfect for relaxing, sightseeing, shopping and enjoying the Italian culture. The tours and activities Bella arranged were exactly what we had discussed. The tour guides were exceptional; they added so much to the experience. If I could have the same guides I would do all the tours again! Thank you Bella. If you are in Bologna Lamborghinis' factory tour is awesome and not to be missed. And now I want to retire to Cortona. Bella arranged a wonderful trip. Thank you for everything.
