We’ve had a chance to readjust to our lives in the US and I wanted to take a moment to thank you both for all your hard work in making our recent trip an excellent experience. You took such good care of us, secured pleasant accommodations, provided transportation, introduced us to great wineries and sights and arranged for some really tasty food. At every turn you both were cheerful, patient, engaging and informative and at all times, professional.
I will no doubt forget some of the wines we drank but never your kindness, knowledge and guidance through the Tuscany region. You rate the highest kudos from Thornton and me and we both wish you great success in your travel business. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others. Again, thank you for being such an important element in our enjoyment of the trip.

We were two generations of a family of 15 coming from two countries and five states to visit the small Southern Italy hill town of Bovino, where our grandmother was born. It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and we wanted it to be special and enjoyed by everyone from 23 to 75 years old. It would have been a daunting task to organize with no Italian speakers in the group, especially because we had just two days in the town. But Sara and Travelanthropy made sure everything ran smoothly. They were great to work with and really set our mind at ease from our first contact. She connected us with two bilingual genealogists, Valerie and Bryan, who did a lot of research and homework before they even met with us.Then they gave us an intimate tour of the town, including the church where our great grandparents were married and our grandmother was baptized and the city records office where we saw handwritten records of the events. They had our attention, and even more important, they had the younger generation's attention, who said they loved learning about where their great grandparents and great great grandparents lived. They even found the street they lived on, and uncovered a few surprises as well. Valerie and Bryan were informative and friendly. It felt like they were part of the family. The day also included a wonderful lunch at a nearby agriturismo. We loved every minute of that day! The next day Sara had arranged a tour of two wonderful wineries with another multi-course Italian meal. It was an action-packed day with a local historian that included archaeology as well as up-close visits at the wineries. Travelanthropy also arranged transportation to and from the closest airport. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend Travelanthropy!

We reflect on our wonderful time in Tuscany very often. As a group, we remember, relive and laugh about so many great experiences we all had together. We all came home better friends than we already were. It was really a trip of a lifetime for all of us. Truly, fantastic memories! Our favorite day was our cooking class and seeing their garden and wonderfully unique villa. We felt so blessed and loved every minute of each day, despite a few raindrops!
Personally, thank you and Andrea for all of your services provided to us. I have passed along your contact information to some yacht club friends and will continue to do so. They were looking for a similar trip.

Now that we’re settled back into our “normal” life, we wanted to give you some feedback about our trip. We were very pleased with the suggestions you made and the services you provided to us on our trip. Each and every guide was excellent in their own way and made the visiting and touring of those spots very special and meaningful. And the visit/tour of the Masseria was just wonderful. As well, your suggestion about spending more time in Matera was excellent. What an amazing place! Thanks for prompting us to spend two nights there. Of course, now we need to go back to see the rest of Puglia! Once again, Sara, everything was top notch. We greatly appreciate your help in putting together that part of our trip and we would use your services again on future trips to Italy.

I just really wanted to thank you for the lovely trip. It was a lot of fun, beautiful and beyond my expectations. Tuscany is breathtaking and magnificent! Of course, I really enjoyed the great food and wine. I will be telling all of my friends about it and how you accommodated my every need and request. Hopefully I will see you again next year for Scilly. Is your company on Facebook and/or do you have a webpage? I would like to give your company a raving review for all to see.

Thank you so much for a fantastic trip to Tuscany and Florence! You were the best guide we could have asked for. We really were able to do and see so many wonderful sights! The tour of Florence, seeing David, the tours of the towns and wineries in Tuscany were great! The restaurants, hotels and the Bed and Breakfast were perfect! I look forward to seeing you in Sicily next year and another wonderful trip!
