Ero alla ricerca di una vacanza differente per me e mio figlio di 7 anni, diversa e stimolante. Non appena letto il programma sognavo gia le tante esperienze che avremmo fatto insieme. E cosi è stato! Il Tour Esperienziale di Italia Sweet Italia è andato oltre le aspettative! Organizzazione impeccabile, esperienze ed emozioni che porteremo dentro per sempre. Dal pranzo sul trabocco alla visita all'eremo a 1200m di altezza. Dalla fattoria d'arte alla raccolta dell'uva e preparazione del mosto che i bambini hanno imbottigliato ed etichettato personalmente. Dall'impastare la pizza scima al mungere le mucche e fare formaggio e ricotta. Avvistare orsi, seguire le loro orme, accarezzare gli animali della fattoria e ammirare paesaggi mozzafiato. I bambini hanno toccato con mano la natura e il senso di libertà che ci regala. Grazie Fabrizio & partners per averci regalato cosi tante emozioni!!

I've just returned from the Adriatic coast of Italy, touring with Fabrizio of Italia, Sweet Italia. I wanted to experience the Italian culture of Abruzzo, where my late husband was born. My month long visit, enjoying three amazing tours with Fabrizio, the founder and tour guide, gave me the opportunity to visit many locations in the Abruzzo and Puglia regions.

My vision of experiencing Italian culture was realized way beyond my imagination and expectation. There were so many opportunities to engage in local activities with Fabrizio, his family, friends and the people of the places we visited Everyone was so welcoming, kind and friendly.

Fabrizio is an amazing host, sharing his extensive knowledge about the incredible history, culture and customs of the area. He is also a thoughtful, personable, attentive and accommodating host to all who join him for his tours. If you want to enjoy the richness of the people, culture and amazing experiences of the real Italy, sign up for a tour (or three) with Fabrizio at Italia, Sweet Italia.

Loved our trip to Le Marche through Italia Sweet Italia.
The service is so friendly and Fabrizio and his team strive to make sure that everybody's needs are met.
This was our second tour with Italia Sweet Italia and we had enjoyed our previous trip (9 years ago) that we decided to go with them again.
The experiences we had are not your usual touristy things but instead you get to meet 'real' people who are passionate about the skills they have.
We met so many interesting artisans and thoroughly enjoyed each and every experience.
Fabrizio went out of his way to tailor the experiences to what we preferred to do and it felt more like being with family than it did like being paying tourists!
Each day was planned to perfection and transfers and pickups all worked seamlessly and we were kept up to date with each day's itinerary - all worked like clockwork!
Nothing was too much trouble for them!
Would we go again - certainly - in a heartbeat!

I’ve spent my life traveling and have joined many different tours over the last 40 years. I share this because when I tell you that Fabrizio is THE BEST tour guide I ever experienced, you will understand that there are many, many others with which I can compare. Fabrizio is head and shoulders over any other guide or travel company I have had the pleasure of joining. His attention to detail is extraordinary. He ensures that every I is dotted and every T crossed. He is passionate about his hometown and his family and by the time the trip is over, you will be too! He also supports a farm to table, zero-kilometer food movement and everything you will eat (and there will be an abundance to enjoy) will be fresh, delicious, and like no other food (wine or olive oil) you have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. There were 11 others on the tour I had with Fabrizio in beautiful Abruzzo. Each person raved about our shared experience and the amazing Fabrizio daily. Thanks to his introductions, I have fallen in love with the culture and the people of Abruzzo. I would not hesitate to travel with Fabrizio again for another tour or even to do the same tour again – it was that exceptional! There is a reason Italia Sweet Italia receives only 5-star reviews. Every one is earned with the attention to detail, the extraordinary itineraries, the positive and caring attitude, experiencing his kind friends and family who love to laugh and share, the delicious food, the gorgeous countryside, the amazing Adriatic Sea, the cooking lessons, the art, the heavenly wine and OH SO MUCH MORE! Thank you for such a uniquely special time that will never be forgotten!

Fabulous! Tour late June 2024: I don't know where to begin, I fell in love with Vasto and the countryside around Vasto & LOVED every moment of this tour. I loved the different shades of green in the countryside just 10 minutes outside of town, I loved all the authentic people we met living their lives every day working hard at agriturismos & grape vineyards & olive farms. I love that when you pass people by on the street you look them in the eye and communication is upfront. We were very busy every day amongst the happy people of Vasto and I loved meeting Fabrizio's family & his neighbor Luigi & Antonio and I loved the view from Belvedere & every morning i went into the church to look at the san Michele statue.
Fabrizio, I believe in and support 100% all your ideas about preserving traditions and food customs in Abruzzo and the farms local and not wasting food. Life here is so tied into the farms and what is growing at that time in season. I never wanted it to end I wanted every day to go on forever

Traveled with Fabrizio and Katia last month through Abruzzo, Puglia and Matera. It was a wonderful 10 days exploring this region of Italy that’s somewhat off the beaten path. The cooking classes were wonderful as were all the locations we visited. Learned so much and now a fan of their wines! Highly recommend this trip. Fabrizio and Katia were so knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Plan to take another trip with Italia Sweet Italia.

I recently returned from attending the week-long walking/cultural tour of Abruzzo with Italia Sweet Italia and have only high praise for Fabrizio and his team. As others have commented, it was more like traveling with close friends than being on a "tour". Fabrizio's family opened their country house to us for two cooking classes, including our final dinner where we made more pizzas than I could count. The activity level was perfect for this active mid 60's male, and alternative activities were provided for those who did not want to take part it the walks/hikes. The accommodations in Vasto were comfortable and had been recently renovated. A highlight of our tour was an afternoon visiting our ancestral town of Civitaquana with my sister and cousin. Fabrizio drove us there and helped inquire with the locals about our family connections.
In short, as perfect a trip as one could hope for.
