Dear Isabella & Angela, Hi ladies, Lorraine called me yesterday to say she had the best trip she has ever had! I also heard from Kathleen with the same words! Lorraine was also impressed that she had the same driver a few times. Thank you for all your hard work in getting the best options for these clients. They both said they didn’t want to leave Sorrento and they want to return! Listening to them makes me want to go there, again. With great appreciation.

Hello Delaney, Just wanted to thank you for all your work on putting together our trip. We had an absolutely wonderful time! The places we visited, the hotels we stayed in and the tours and activities were perfect. The driver’s were all very professional with comfy vans. The tour guides we had for our private tours were exceptional. We all thought we learned so much! From Munich to Milan, we loved everyplace we visited! But our favorite place was Salzburg which was so surprising since we kind of used the city to get Lake Como. Can’t wait o go back there! Lake Como area was so much bigger than we thought it was. The boat tour was the best. We had so much fun with our guide! Highly recommend the winery you set up, the food was so good and it was paired with 3 different wines. The view was spectacular from the terrace. We learned that ferries are not very reliable around lake Como so it was a great that we had a driver!
We have done family trips to Italy, Sicily and now Germany, Austria and Northern Italy with Italian Exclusive Vacations. All of them have been amazing! You guys take the time to listen to us and then find the perfect tour or activity. I recommend your office to many people for theses reasons. My son is going on a honeymoon in June of 2024. They want to go to Greece. I am giving them your email address. Thank you again Delaney. Your hard work showed on our fabulous European Vacation!
Maureen & family
Dear Delaney, I just received an email from Michael. He had a wonderful trip!
I thought I would share Michael’s email with you. Everything about the trip was awesome. Thank you SOOOO much for setting this up, PERFECT.
We did get the wine and more little gifts at the hotel due to her birthday. Hotel in Capri was a phenomenal hotel, would absolutely go again next year- beautiful beautiful place. If you’ve never stayed I’d recommend. All hotels were perfect. Amalfi was a cute petite hotel, and we had the best room, based on the balcony location with views. Positano hotel was awesome with phenomenal private spa, entire hotel built into the mountain side! Thank you again for your assistance.

We have worked with Italian Exclusive Vacations for many years now, our biggest year thus far has been 2023. We have had a great partnership, we love working with Ivana and her USA team; Delaney and Derek, as well as the European team with Isabella, Angela and Ilaria, and now Ivy – based in Italy. Our clients come back HAPPY and tell all their friends, who then gets us brand new clients. We use Italian Exclusive Vacations for our Italy and Greece FIT requests, of course, but we have done Spain, Portugal, Germany, France and Belgium, as well. We even did a very complicated 3-leg trip for Budapest/Vienna and Prague. We appreciate all their hard work and are so happy to be working with them over the years and look forward to our continued collaboration!

Thank you.
