Classic Journeys

This was my first Classic Journeys trip and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The company far exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel accommodations and restaurants were fantastic - all luxury accommodations and top of the line restaurants. I was especially impressed by the helpfulness of the staff from the guide to the office staff. Our guide made sure that everyone was comfortable throughout the trip and went out of his way to satisfy the needs of the travelers. The office staff was exceptional in their assistance with helping me make hotel arrangements prior to the start of the trip and for my post trip extension. The whole trip planning process was easy and stress free. The trip itself was a memorable experience with an exciting itinerary of unique places and activities. I will definitely book with Classic Journeys again.

What an amazing experience with Classic Journeys. They're one of the best travel agency. Thank you Max and Classic Jorneys.

Our trip to Tuscany and Cinque Terre was fantastic with Classic Journeys. Our guide, Luciano, was absolutely the best! Not only was he unbelievably knowledgeable but he thought of every single detail to make our trip so memorable. It was as if every stop and experience was perfectly curated just for us.(the scenery, the visit to the sheep farm with the unbelievable freshly made pecorino, the lovely villa where we stayed in Tuscany, hiking stops for photos at just the right spots, the restaurants that provided the true taste of Tuscany, and even the evening serenade of Italian songs on our way home from dinner--all made us feel very special.)

Luciano, our guide, made the experience truly memorable…top rated among guided trips we have taken, ever.

Luciano did a terrific job. His knowledge of the stops on the tour and general facts really added depth to what we were seeing and doing. the way. Luciano was always checking with the group, determining how fast and how much walking we could do. He reacted to changing weather with solutions that improved the experience
The accommodations were top notch. We especially enjoyed the Villa LeBarone and the Grand Hotel Miramar. They were totally different experiences but each excellent in its own way.
The variety of dinners we experienced was an unexpected pleasure. From the food and general craziness at Dario Cecchini's to the elegance of Miramar and the coziness of Villa LeBarone, dinner was always something to look forward to after some busy days.
The local guides (Roberta and Nadia) did nice work in talking about their cities and bringing out some of the history that made their towns so interesting.
On one of the trips back to our lodgings, Luciano gave us a little entertainment. He broke into "Volare!" and soon had the whole gang of us singing along.
We had Antonio driving for most of our journey. He was very professional and we enjoyed interacting with him.
The lunch with Massimo, the wine experience with Francesco, the marble sculpting with Valentina, visiting the sheep farm and the beauty of the countryside, all added to a wonderful and varied week of experiences.
The awesomeness of the experience permeated all seven days we were together. It was a joy to be part of it.

While this is only my 1st tour I thought it was first rate.The “walking” aspect of tour was not excessive. The tour guides were outstanding with their insight and information concerning culture and history generally and as it applied to the specific locations and sights. The accommodations and food were very nice. Plus there were 3 specialty guides for specific locations and antiquities.
