As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists.

I have been on 4 trips with the IVS team, firstly when the… Read More

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You n… Read More
