Fantastic 10 day tour of Venice, Verona, and Cinque Terre. Everything was set up perfectly. We had an amazing time and many fantastic memories thanks to Ciao Tours and Lauren Rizzuto from Squire Travel in Cheshire, CT!!
I'm a travel advisor and Ciao Italy is my go to company when helping clients plan their trips to Italy! Why? Because Ciao Italy's reps are very responsive to my requests whether during the planning process or if something unexpected happens during travel-- they are just a WhatApp message away from assisting me and my clients. They propose quality, well located hotels in all price points right from the start so there's not a lot of back and forth. They offer a variety of appealing daytrips that are also fairly priced which ensure my clients have a memorable trip without breaking the bank. I've probably worked with them on close to ten Italy trips and won't hesitate to work with them in the future!
My party of 12 clients recently used Ciao Italy for all of their train travel and private transfers around Italy and they all said it was a seamless experience and were racing about their trip.
I love the Ciao Italy team and Sindi who has worked on several trips for me but this one had a LOT of intricate parts with multiple payments and she was outstanding in every way!
Love me some Ciao Italy!!
Very easy to work with Ciao Italy staff, especially Claudia. Always accommodating to questions and adjustments throughout and after the booking process. Looking forward to continuing this working relationship.
Just back from a trip of a lifetime to Italy. My husband and I enjoyed every minute from the moment we landed to the minute we left our last hotel. The tours and transport arranged by Ciao was nothing short of stellar and beyond top notch. Visiting different locations across 12 days with much to see and do, Ciao made the best arrangements for us to travel and see the site we wanted to without any hassle or stress. From NY to Milan to Florence to Rome and finally to Positano. We enjoyed the best travel and touring anyone could dream of. Every driver, every train ticket was perfectly arranged to take us where we needed with no stress. We felt spoiled! Donna was an amazing source of information and helped us pick the right tours that matched what we wanted to do and more importantly how we wanted to do it. From the first day to our last the drivers and tour guides were all so friendly and informative. Our hotels in every destination surpassed what we could have hoped for with the best accommodations and service. We felt like VIPs every day we spent in Italy and I could not imagine planning another trip without Ciao Italy!
We highly recommend Ciao Italy Tours. Matteo was a wonderful guide, and his expertise enabled us to pack in a lot in one day.
I highly recommend Donna at Ciao travel. She planned a perfect trip just the way we wanted she helped with by arranging all our train tickets and our tours. The hotel she picked were also beautiful and centrally located so we could walk to restaurants and shops. It was a wonderful two week trip where we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
We were very happy with all services provided by Ciao Italy. They arranged day tours for us and a 7 night trip for two of our group traveling by train from Venice to Rome. Hotels, transfers and all tours were great!
My family and I (12 people total) just came back from a family trip to Italy. We did Florence 3 nights, Rome 2 nights and Sorrento for 4 nights. Without question the greatest trip we have ever taken. Ciao Italy was simply amazing. Everything went as smooth as can be, from the first pick up at the airport in Florence to the train rides and transfers to and from, to the last pick up at 6AM in Sorrento. All the logistics involved they made it stress free, incredible, just incredible. I would use them again and would be crazy not to. If you're going to Italy, they are a MUST use, no question. I would recommend them 10 x over.
I recently used Ciao Italy to plan my trip to Sicily, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the initial consultation to the final itinerary. Ciao Italy was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Their expertise in planning trips to Italy was evident throughout the entire process.
They also arranged accommodations for beautiful hotels and excellent tours which was perfectly located in each city.
Ciao Italy took care of all the logistical details arranging for private transfers between destinations and providing detailed information on travel.
Planning a trip to Sicily can be overwhelming, but with Ciao Italy, you can trust that your vacation will be stress-free and enjoyable.
If you're planning a trip to Sicily or any other part of Italy, I highly recommend Ciao Italy. You won't regret it!
Filthy bus windows...we went for Siena, San Dimignano and Pisa with lunch. It was a double decker bus with absolutely filthy windows...I asked the guide woman why the front window was so filthy as we're hoping to take some nice pics of Tuscany and she just walked away...turned around and walked away...so rude unprofessional, lack of professionalism and manners. Considering we paid 180euros for sitting in filthy bus is a rip off... learn how to respect customers and some curtesy. Shame on you

Ciao Italy Tours, specifically Donna, created an all-encompassing trip for our family of 4 from Venice to Florence, Rome, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast. The plans included every must-see list item in small-medium groups, to private excursions.
Donna planned this trip specifically customized the trip to our specific needs or preferences as if it were for her own family.
The draft and final itineraries were packed full of details giving us a clear picture of the trip prior to leaving. What we experienced far exceeded our expectations...including the level of care ensuring all transfers, tours, and accommodations were on time and according to the plans. Every provider (tour, transfer, hotels) was simply exceptional which is a direct reflection of the quality and care Donna and Ciao Italy Tours provided.
I highly recommend Ciao Italy Tours and Donna specifically.
Thank you !!
Stefania was amazing! She scheduled our family trip to Italy for our youngest son's wedding. The wedding was perfect and the vacation after was amazing! Stefania delivered an incredible venue for the rehearsal dinner. The dinner was one of the many highlights of the trip. Thanks Stefania for making it all possible!
I'm a travel agent and Ciao Italy is my go-to supplier for Italy travel. They are easy to work with and always on top of it! Claudia, Sindi and Mariacristina have gone above and beyond for me and my clients and I can't recommend them enough!
Sindi did an excellent job for my 13 people to Rome and Venice in July 2024. They are still on their trip and texting about how wonderful and beautiful the hotel. How the private transfers were on time and all the tours were picked by her were great.
Thanks Sindi I'm call you again.

Claudia at Ciao Italy is great to work with and responds quickly. She put together an amazing 2-week Italy adventure and listened to specific desires to customize it perfectly. With a problem during travel, she was quick to help it get resolved.
Ciao Italy is my go-to resource for Italy!
I am a travel agent and know a great tour operator when I see/use one! This time around I had the opportunity to utilize Stefania. She is always amazing! This tour that we created was for a multi-gen family and it was terrific. She listened to our requests, created the best itinerary, was available to answer questions prior to and during my clients' trip AND MORE! The tours, transfers, hotel accommodations ALL were perfect! She didn't miss a beat. Cheers to Ciao Italy and to Stefania for creating the best trip for my clients to create the best memories... I just cannot say enough about the attention to detail and communication - A 10+
Good morning… just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time. All the transfers, hotels and tours arranged with Ciao Italy worked seamlessly. At one point we had to change a pick up and Brasstours ( used by Ciao Tours) was more than obliging.
My travel agent Teresa (TnTguystravel), worked alongside Stefania from Ciao Italy. They helped us plan the perfect trip to the Amalfi Coast. Every excursion, transfer, flight and hotel stay was executed without a hitch. They even helped my children surprise us with a phenomenal dinner to celebrate our 50th on our first night there. This trip was a "once- in- a- lifetime" for us and it couldn't have been better. Thanks !
My clients fully independent travel (FIT) in Florence and Rome went flawlessly. (They booked it with me--their travel agent-- after a family destination wedding in Ravello--their first trip to Europe). They loved everything about the hotels, tours, transfers, and train travel. and commented on how organized everything was.
