“I will miss aperitivo, the amazing company, and eating as well as I did here. Thank you, Gigi, for creating this trip. It was truly an amazing experience.”

My trip was everything that I had hoped for. Gigi offers experiences you won’t get in a typical tour, including meeting with … history lovers, local chefs and photographers, that create a more bespoke and intimate experience. Gigi arrives with a dossier for each of her group members filled with both relaxation time and local experiences you would miss out on otherwise. I highly recommend these trips for those looking for a personal experience guided by someone with real knowledge of the culture. – Maire, Italy 2026 (Venice Historical Trip)
I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Gigi … during her Este Medici 2024 Italy trip. This was truly a tailored experience exactly to our interests. I had a strong interest in Ferrara, and she made that happen for me. It felt like everywhere we went, she had the inside scoop – who to talk to, what special experiences were most worth it, even making friends with restauranteurs. The food was always impeccable, including Michelin starred places. The lodgings were unique and very nice. The photo shoots were by renowned photographers with the kinds of backgrounds you really cannot miss out on. If you’re interested in history or reenactment, I’d highly recommend one of Gigi’s trips. I fully intend to go on another one someday. – Grace, Italy 2024 (Venice, Ferrara, Bologna, & Florence Trip)
Gigi did a great job customizing our trip to our preferences – the apartment we booked, the places we saw, and the restaurants we tried. The only downsides were not in anyone’s control (one area of the Duomo was closed due to being under restoration). Jeremy, Italy 2024 (Florence & Siena Trip)
Words cannot express what it was like to connect with others who love to create historical clothing… you are an angel!!! Thank you for all you did for us. It was all above and beyond. Keep it small, that is the key. 🙂 – Franchesca, Italy 2024 (Venice, Ferrara, Bologna, & Florence Trip)
I especially loved the opportunity to meet and spend time with a great group of companions. Gigi is a wonderful host, knows her market and her locals. I felt safe and supported. – Sophia, Italy 2024 (Venice & Abano Terme Spa Trip)
