A Journey Just as We Imagined

This was a wedding anniversary trip for the two of us. We visited both Catania and Palermo, and ensuring safe and efficient transportation with our large luggage was our top priority. The route arrangements and sightseeing suggestions tailored to our preferences were incredibly helpful. Additionally, the drivers and guides arranged for us were all truly wonderful. Thanks to Marianne's support, we were able to enjoy a comfortable and safe trip. Thank you so much!

It was a private tour with reasonable pricing and flawless arrangements!

This was my first time wanting to take a solo trip as a woman to Rome and Naples! However, I had heard that safety might be an issue, which made me anxious... So, I decided to request a private tour from Oooh.
They proposed several plans based on my preferences and, despite my frequent messages about concerns before making a decision, they always responded warmly and provided thoughtful support.

Many tours require at least two participants, making it impossible to join solo... Even if major companies offer tours for solo travelers, the schedules are often fixed, and the prices are excessively high. In contrast, Oooh's private tour was reasonably priced and meticulously arranged, which gave me true peace of mind.

On the day of the trip, there were no issues whatsoever, and I was able to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable journey, all thanks to Oooh.

Thank you so much for everything this time!
I would love to consult with you again for my next trip.

Meals, restaurants, convenience stores

The trip mainly revolved around visiting the trade fair,
I think it would have been more helpful if suggestions for enjoying meals were provided.
I would have liked to be introduced to restaurants and other establishments near the hotel and trade fair that could be enjoyed during the day and night.
In the end, I had no choice but to sleep at night, and unlike Japan, there were no convenience stores, which felt inconvenient.
What needs improvement is that I would have liked an explanation of such inconveniences beforehand.

We were able to tour Florence very efficiently!

It was my first time touring with a guide, and it was really great because we were able to efficiently visit all the must-see spots!

Through casual conversations, I learned a lot about Italy and Florence.

The hotel we arranged was just as we hoped, and we were able to relax.

I appreciate the scheduling that respected our flexibility and the kind and attentive guidance from the guide.

We were blessed with good weather, and it was truly a great trip.
If I had to say, I think it's a matter of price, but the hotel in Rome was the most disappointing among the three places.
The room and breakfast!
There were no issues with the hotel staff.

They presented a plan that matched our preferences.

The response to forgotten items was swift, which was very helpful.
During this trip, we were introduced to Polignano a Mare by a local Japanese resident we met by chance, and it was very nice, so I hope it will be recommended to others in the future.

It was helpful

The best part was being able to confirm questions via SMS.
Since I'm not familiar with Italy, it was helpful to be taught in detail about train ticket arrangements and check-in procedures.

It was convenient

They also provided restaurant and sightseeing information locally, which was convenient.
It would be nice to have information in advance about what kind of person the local guide is.

    I have been working at a travel agency for over 13 years. My passion for travel began at an early age, and thanks to the rich heritages of France and Spain, I’ve had the opportunity to explore diverse cultures and languages. After living in Ireland and Spain, I moved to Sicily and began working as a guide for trekking tours in the Aeolian Islands and on Mount Etna. This experience sparked my desire to craft personalized travel plans for those who truly want to explore Italy. I specialize in custom travel across Italy, focusing on Sicily, the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Puglia, Rome, Venice, the lakes, and Tuscany. I excel at planning food and wine tours, diverse adventure trips, and classic tours, aiming to create unforgettable experiences for every traveler.

    I grew up on Sicily, Italy’s largest island. I live in a small village renowned for being home to Europe’s highest active volcano, Mount Etna, as well as some of the island’s most beautiful beaches. Ever since I was young, I have been naturally curious and loved exploring new places and meeting new people. It brings me great joy to share this curiosity with fellow travelers through my work. Italy is an ideal destination for those with inquisitive minds. Influenced by a myriad of cultures over the centuries, each region boasts its own distinct language and traditions—truly our greatest treasure. I would be delighted to help craft your unique journey, so please feel free to get in touch.

To me, traveling isn’t merely about visiting different places—it's about creating special memories that last a lifetime. A passionate admirer of history and cultural heritage, I have gained invaluable experience as a local guide in cities like Madrid and Toledo. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how crucial it is to understand a traveler’s needs precisely and to provide a truly unique experience. Having received warm support from locals in the countries I’ve visited, I’m eager to offer the same assistance to those coming to Spain. Tourism has become an essential part of our lives. My job is not just to organize trips, but to offer immersive experiences that allow you to deeply connect with a region’s history, culture, and culinary delights. Each journey brings new encounters, and the cities you explore along with the people you meet make your experiences truly invaluable.
