Benvenuti! Traveling to Europe comes natural for me... you see, I was born on the beautiful Island of Sicily, and my neighbor, the majestic, romantic, and historical Italy has been my home away from home for many years. Is there any other place more breathtaking than these? After graduation from the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence Tuscany, I came to America as a young adult, married and had my family. I started an Italian club with mutual Italian American friends, and 20 years later, here I am helping you to experience the sights of beautiful Italy and Europe.
It was about 15 years ago, I started organizing tours to Italy for our family and club members. The tours were so personal, fun, full of culture, one of a kind journeys, and affordable. The word spread and before I knew it, my passion of sharing my love of Italy became my second career. Myself, along with my personal friend and European tour operator, Biagio, owner of CDG VIAGGI of Digiacomo Biagio S.A.S. , have masterfully planned custom tour packages with unique itineraries that set us apart from other tour operators.
Today, my business partner, MJ (whom I met 17 years ago in our club) and I, have made it our commitment to give you the best experience in European travel. Our message that we share with our travelers is that you will experience first class tour travel, an over abundance of knowledge outlining every step of the way of your tour, the best prices on land and air cost, incredible food, attention to detail, the best wine and cultural educational activities, meeting special request of the travelers, make new friendships, and end your tour with memories to last a lifetime. You will return from your trip, encouraging your family and friends to join us on our next tour.
