Filomena from Ciao Amici planned a fabulous 10-day private tour of Sicily for us to celebrate our 45-wedding anniversary. We started in Palermo and visited Monreale, Segesta, Cefalu, the Valle Dei Tempi, the Villa Romana del Casale, Ragusa, Modica, Scicli, Siracusa and Taormina. We had amazing tour guides in each new town who provided an orientation of each location as well as in-depth knowledge of the art and architecture of the region. Our lunch in the Palermo food market, chocolate tasting in Modica and our trip to the workshop of the last Sicilian cart makers were fun surprises that Filomena built into our trip. Our drivers were prompt, friendly and informative and the hotels were lovely and centrally located. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Sicily. We heartily recommend Ciao Amici and Sicily for your next adventure!

Thank you Filomena for an amazing trip to Sicily. Everywhere we went was beautiful. The food and wine were delicious. All 5 star hotels! It was a trip of a lifetime

We just got back from our Italy trip and we can’t thank Filomena and Kelly enough for all they did to make this the most memorable experience for our 30th anniversary. Everything was planned with such detail; we were never at a loss as to what to do next. Our friendly drivers were always there to transfer us to our next location. All the hotels were in great locations allowing us to walk to most attractions and restaurants. Our personal tourguides were so knowlegeable and easy to talk to. The private cooking class, wine tasting/lunch and Limoncello tour/dinner were also a nice bonus. We can’t wait to book our next trip back to see more of Italy and will definitely have Ciao Amici plan it for us.

Ciao Amici is an absolute gem! They helped us to plan a truly breathtaking dream vacation to Italy. Filomena, the owner, was able to go over our entire trip, suggest places and events to see and participate it that she herself had vetted and done before. Her professionalism and positive attitude were infectious and left us worry free about navigating a foreign country. She has local contacts all about the country that are not just true experts but incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and so genuine. I can safely say that I have never had better food, views, or enjoyed learning about history and culture more than our time in Italy. I will forever be grateful to this organization and happily tell anyone who will listen, Ciao Amici will take amazing care of you and ensure a lifetime experience! Thank you again for a truly unforgettable time. I cannot wait to go back!

I can’t say enough about Ciao Amici! I took a pasta making class and I enjoyed every minute of it! The staff is so friendly and professional. I had so much fun learning something new for the first time. The whole experience made me feel like I was in Italy and it brought back so many memories of my vacations there as well as memories of holidays in an Italian-American family. I will be back for sure. I highly recommend Ciao Amici to everyone!
