"An unforgettable experience. Having been to Italy several times, this boutique-style vacation was our favorite. Vicky took care of everything. Olive picking was my highlight, and the scenic trip to the press was amazing. The towns were refreshing, with time to leisurely explore and enjoy Italian meals, but nothing compared to the homemade dinner at the Falcioni’s. It felt like a family gathering, not a tour. Vicky’s tours are a must for anyone wanting an authentic Italian experience. The memories we made will last forever. Going once isn’t enough—we’ll find reasons to return!"

"I was just looking at pictures from our trip and recalling your thoughtful coordination of an authentic Italian experience. I loved the balance of group activities and free time. The relaxed beauty, great food, hands-on activities, and wonderful accommodations were perfect. The people who opened their homes and lives to us were so warm and welcoming. Keeping the group small made it easy to access incredible spots. It was a trip of a lifetime for my mom and me

"You truly embody the 'Spirit of Italy.' You made everything perfect and exciting, and we all loved the magical adventures and unique experiences. The treats you left in our lovely apartment were such a thoughtful touch. Italy was a feast for the senses—sights of art and architecture, the sounds of opera, and the tastes of amazing food. Meeting our travel companions and wonderful Italian friends was a highlight. I look forward to traveling with you again soon. Hugs!"

"My sister and I stayed at a villa in Tuscany for a birthday celebration and wanted to explore afterward. Vicky’s knowledge of Tuscany, Florence, and the seaside took us to charming small towns, restaurants, and hidden shopping spots. Despite the peak tourist season, we were always surrounded by friendly locals—many of whom were Vicky’s friends. Though I had researched extensively, my favorite places were those Vicky recommended and were barely mentioned in guidebooks. With her help, our trip was relaxing, stress-free, and filled with unforgettable experiences."

“In 2017, my husband and I wanted to travel to Rome, Florence, and Tuscany but didn’t have the time or connections to plan. Thankfully, we knew Vicky Gray-Clark and her Spirit of Italy Tours. She listened to our hopes and designed the entire trip. It was the smoothest we’ve ever taken! Our lodging was fantastic, her travel tips—like navigating transportation and getting into key sites—were spot-on, and her personal connections with our hosts made us feel like family. Our stay at a Tuscan inn, with its incredible multi-course meals, was a highlight. It was such a gift to relax and enjoy Italy’s beauty, knowing we were taken care of every step of the way.”
