What travelers are saying

"On our trip to Amalfi coast, the bus was parked in a field for two days. The next day, we had an 8 hour bus trip to Sicily. The bus was not properly cleaned before and after it had been parked in the field. On the 8 hour trip to Sicily, there was an infestation of ants. We had tons of ants crawling on the seats, windows, and floor. My husband killed 10 ants on his body. I received bits on my ankles and wrists. The tour guide never said anything to any of the guests. When we confronted him, all he said was that he would have the bus cleaned the next day. These was horrible conditions to travel for 8 hours. I have written to Perillo seeking a refund for that day's service. Time will tell if Perillo will actually answer my evaluation. This situation rises to the occasion where customer service was extremely poor an unhealthy, and a partial refund should be granted. If Perillo stands behind customer service as its motto, then they should provide partial refunds for this day. If not, then this leads me to assume that Perillo is more concerned about overall profits than good customer service. Time will tell!"

What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

Italy Culinary & Wine Tours Tour Selection Trips

  • Italian culture, dialects, and food are very regional specific. Participating in a food tour will help highlight this.
  • American-Italian food tends to be heavier than most of the fare you’ll find in the motherland. Pasta is generally not dry and boxed, pizza crust is very thin, and sauces are less heavy.
  • Italian food can be high in starch, gluten, and carbohydrates. If you have dietary restrictions, let your guide know as far in advance as possible.
  • Be open to new tastes and traditions. Meals in Italy are a celebrated, communal, family affair. Enjoy it!
  • When wine tasting, it can be very easy to not realize how quickly the pours add up. If you’re cognizant of how much you’re drinking you and your tour companions will enjoy the day much more. 
  • Breakfast food is fairly basic in Italy- Don’t expect enormous meals in the morning. Just a simple biscotti with an espresso is perfect.
  • Ordering coffee in Italy can be nerve-wracking. There’s an entire culture surrounding it, from when to drink (cappuccino is strictly a morning drink) to how to drink properly (usually standing at the bar and quickly). And if you order a latte, you will be served a large glass of milk rather than your desired concoction (caffe con latte). 
  • Be prepared for coffee fundamentals - Starbucks variations and syrups are not to be found.
