This was my first-time using Fabio, who better to work with, than a local Italian company! His process of understanding what you want to accomplish from your holiday is seamless. Complete the comprehensive trip planning form, you will receive an email confirming receipt. In 24-48 hours, you will receive a personal email from Fabio, after he reads the contact form information you emailed. He will schedule a phone call with you for better clarity, within a week, then he will email you a draft agenda of your holiday that includes fabulous hotels, transfers, tour guide information and events you might want to attend. Attention to detail is his top priority and it shows. I was treated like a VIP/Celebrity throughout my trip! It was a birthday present to myself, Fabio surprised me and set up birthday reservations at a wonderful family run restaurant.
The whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday to me in Italian! Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you, Fabio!!

His communication skills are excellent, when you are in Italy, he is checking in with you to see if everything is going well. All the local agency partners are “best-in-class” from the private drivers, private tour guides, and hotel and restaurant managers. Many of the hotel rooms had an amazing view of the sea that included a balcony or terrace, which I call “living the dream” with cappuccino in the morning or a wonderful glass of Italian wine from the region, Bellissimo!!!

Embrace the Italian culture of “la dolce vita”, it isn’t just an Italian saying for Fabio, he is more than just a Bespoke travel agent, he will become your dear friend, who I will contact for his help to plan the next amazing holiday to Italy.
Ciao,
Carol

Fabio was the ultimate travel planner and host. I have traveled to different countries for 15 plus years with travel specialists and Fabio is by far the best. He not only helped one of my sister’s find care and called a doctor for her, he also helped with my other sister’s lost luggage and getting her a free transport to and from to get her bag and contacted the airport directly to make sure it was there for her.

Fabio was able to coordinate 5 family members all with different flights and arrival/departure times. We didn’t have a single mishap with our crazy travel schedules because he was so organized and on top of our dates.

He called each of our tour operators the day of to explain our family style and to coordinate with them to make sure we had the best experience. Not only did we love him, but each tour operator has formed a trusting relationship with him and speaks so highly of him. He only books tours/excursions with the best companies. That goes along way, especially when stopping in 5 cities like we did and having so much knowledge of each city, the different things to do there and who to book through.

He met us in Lake Como and went so far as to buy us a few beverages and to host us.

My older sister asked for last minute photographs of her and her recent husband and Fabio came through with the best photographer.

A few of my flights were canceled and I had to switch to a different city to fly out and he was able to cancel those train/excursion tickets and transition to a new city with the same money paid.

I work in sales and his attention to detail and ability to understand the family dynamic was amazing. He is so good at what he does and his understanding of the different tour operators in Italy helped us have the best time.

I wish I could plan all my trips with him across the world. I don’t think I will ever get as wonderful of a travel specialist as him. He really is fantastic.

My wife and I traveled to Italy using Fabio Ilardi with Italy Bespoke Tours. Fabio did an outstanding job scheduling an incredible experience in Rome, Florence and Sorrento.

Fabio’s knowledge and experience with travel in Italy enabled him to provide great advice on where we should visit. He also has contacts that he knows and works with in every city that provide the high quality service. The drivers and private tour guides Fabio scheduled helped made our trip first class.

We highly recommend working with Fabio for any trip to Italy! 🇮🇹

Incredible Experience with Andrijana and Italy Bespoke Tours!! This was our first trip to Italy and we wanted it to be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. We connected with Andrijana and from the very beginning we knew we had found the perfect travel partner to help us book our trip. Andrijana is over the top friendly, knowledgeable, patient, resourceful, and I could go on and on with her incredible qualities. 🤩 She created the entire itinerary from the time we landed in Naples to the time we flew out of Rome to return home. Everything was seamless. Our private drivers, our hotels were carefully chosen with our preferences in mind. The private tours were carefully curated, the tickets were purchased for all the places we wanted to see, as well as the fast train to Rome booked for us. Andrijana and Italy bespoke tours was available when we needed to be in touch, and we only had one question the entire trip! I could not recommend Andrijana and Italy bespoke tours enough. We will be using them for all of our international travel plans!

This the best trips I have ever had! I would not have been able to experience Italy to the extent I did without Bespokes Tours! Everything was perfect from the moment I was picked up to the moment I was dropped off! Fabio was the absolute best travel advisor listened to everything I wanted and worked to personalize my trip. He was always reachable and answered any questions or concerns instantly. Thanks for everything!

We took a trip to Munich, Austria and Italy.
Every stop we took was planned specifically by Fabio for our needs and our pleasure based on communication with him of what we were looking for in our travels. He listened to what we were looking for, and truly carried out every detail to make our trip an amazing one. .. one that went so smoothly. We knew that if we had any concerns, Fabio would always be there for us. There were several times we asked him a question late at night or early in the morning and he always responded within two minutes. Being in foreign countries where we do not speak the language was a little concerning, but we knew that he would always be there for us..and he was. All of our guided tours were amazing that he had set up for us. We loved every aspect of this trip and would highly recommend Fabio to anyone.

We had the most wonderful time in Italy! We owe a huge thank you to our trip planner, problem fixer and behind the scenes guide Fabio. He took all the stressful pieces of our trip, such a booking trains, scheduling private transfers, finding wonderful tours, etc and planned it all out for us meticulously. While in Italy, he kept in contact with us checking in, asking for feedback, and was always available anytime of the day to troubleshoot. Fabio also found wonderful food and dinner reservations for us, both before the trip and during. If we were unable to communicate with a restaurant or running behind due to events like the Tour de Italy bike race, he communicated with tour guides and helped cancel or change restaurant reservations. While in Rome, I suffered from sun poisoning, he was quick to find a physician that would come to me for assistance and when there was a language barrier with the agency, he immediately called and helped translate. During the trip, he took feedback from us and when he got to know our group more, he made suggestions to our future drivers and tour hosts to accommodate our preferences, such a wine tastings and food suggestions. Lastly, my husband and I had asked Fabio last minute before leaving for Italy, if he might coordinate a photographer for some belated wedding pictures, as we did not have a our wedding due to Covid-19. Fabio was able to find an amazing photographer for us last minute and made the whole day very special for us in and around Lake Como. We had a trip of a lifetime in Italy, our travels were seamless in and between the different cities and this was all due to and thanks to Fabio. I would hands down use him again if we were to go back and would also highly recommend him to anyone else going to Italy anytime soon!
