What guests are saying about these Calabria tours…
“Loved it! Would do it all over again! I feel like I now know Italy from the inside out and not through the eyes of a stranger.”
“Calabrian trip of a lifetime – It exceeded all my expectations by FAR. At every turn there was something more breathtaking to see, and the food was incredible. Karen is so knowledgeable and thoughtful about every single detail. The folks in the small group were ALL great, and I am so fortunate to have experienced all of this! I can’t say enough great things about this trip. GRAZIE!!”
“The variety of locations and consistent outstanding food and wine quality will make this tour a lifelong memory… I would highly recommend Karen’s tour for those who consider themselves to be travelers, not tourists.”
“From start to finish a great time. Fabulous host, congenial group and all the beauty and uniqueness of a little traveled region of southern Italy.”
“Having spent a few days in Rome prior to arriving in Calabria, it was refreshing to be in a less crowed area without many tourists…. This was the trip of a lifetime! Highly recommend it!”
“I usually travel independently because I really do not enjoy tours with 45 other people. When I read the itinerary for Karen’s Tour of Calabria and learned that there were a limited number of guests, I thought I would give it a try. I am so glad that I did! We visited so many different and unique towns, villages and small cities. It was a wonderful experience.”
