“Gina Hoff is Italian, and her love and enthusiasm for her country are catching. Her trips are well planned so that you have plenty of free time, but if you want her to take you somewhere during scheduled free time, she is available to do that too. And here is the good news: she is not a morning person so the bus doesn’t leave at the crack of dawn like many other tour companies do. It was a fun, educational & relaxing tour, and I highly recommend Gina Hoff.”

Dr. & Mrs. Warren French - Private Tour

Our trip to Italy was so special because of the unique and personalized attention we had from Gina Hoff. Her careful planning and extensive knowledge of both the country and its history made our vacation fascinating. The hotels and restaurants she chose for us were excellent. Because she is a native Italian, we had no difficulties or language problems even when one of our group needed medical attention. We highly recommend her services.

Dear Gina, we want to thank you for such a memorable trip to Italy. It was truly a customized trip. We chose the time, pace & good friends. No dawn risings and hours on the bus. The accommodations you made were great and the itinerary you suggested exceeded our expectations. What better way to see and experience Italy than through the eyes of an Italian who loves her birth country.

“Probably the most memorable tour I’ve ever taken. Outstanding food and wines, and Gina Hoff was so much more knowledgeable than other guides we’ve had. I have been and will continue to recommend the tour to friends and anyone who will pause long enough to listen!”

“This was absolutely the best trip I have ever taken. It was not like a tour but like a group of friends traveling together. I would accompany Gina Hoff anywhere, anytime, on a trip she has planned.”

“Your tour provided exactly what you advertised…eating better than a Roman Emperor and going to less traveled places where only a great relationship with the proprietors would let you in!

Mr. & Mrs.Yeager - Italian Countryside, Amalfi Coast & Sicily

Dearest Gina, When I think about our last two weeks here in Italy I can’t believe all that we’ve seen, experienced and learned, and the fun that was shared by all. A huge thanks to you and your darling daughter.

Dear Gina, I can’t thank you enough for your insights and efforts in plotting my journey through Italy. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to have you there along with me..maybe someday!

Dr. Calabria – Independent Tour

We do not know of anyone who has eaten in villas, castles, monasteries and private farm estates in Europe. We are “lording” it over our friends.

Dear Gina, I am writing this note to thank you for your tireless efforts to make the trip to Greece and Turkey such a memorable one. My thoughts are constantly on something we were doing or seeing on our trip. Thank you again for the super trip and unforgettable memories.
