- SSSy· July 11th, 2025I had visited Northern Italy many times before, but seeing the South was absolutely magnificent. It was a true dive into the local culture — filled with rich stories, unforgettable food that tickled all my taste buds, and an amazing variety of experiences throughout. Our tour guide, Francesco, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and full of energy. He didn’t spare a moment to share insights about the land and its people — we truly learned so much from him. This was my first time joining a tour with Culture Trip, and I can highly recommend it. I especially appreciated the free time we had in between activities — it made the trip feel balanced and personal. All in all, the tour was a great success, and my thoughts are still with Italy.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
Christina· June 5th, 2025The guide, Francesco, was exceptional. The itinerary was well balanced with ample free time and flexibility. One extra day on Amalfi Coast and Matera would even be better!Show more

- CSCarolyn· July 22nd, 2024I have just returned from the Seductive Southern Italy tour, the best tour I have ever done. Due mainly to our incredible tour leader Francesco a singing dancing people pleasing foodie (a dream come true for a foodie). And our on site tour guide Floriana who’s historical knowledge was amazing as was her delivery, she spoke like she was singing to us. There was so much variety and we were so well looked after I would do it again. Response from Tour Radar and Culture trip was so quick and professional especially Shelby. Our accommodation was outstanding in Matera Maoiri and Polignano al Mare. Some reviews stated they were too far away but I think it was a perfect balance in getting away from the crowds to relax and see the real Italy. I will definitely book another Tour Radar/Culture trip holiday without hesitation thank you 🙏 ps hot tip eat whatever Francesco tells you to you won’t regret it!!!!!! 😋 🐽Show moreCulture Trip commented on this reviewThank you for your kind words and the 5 star review, this means a lot to us here at Culture Trip.

- AAngela· June 13th, 2023Book this trip! This was an AMAZING trip! I highly recommend it. This was my first solo trip. I met great people from all over the world. This trip goes to towns that you normally don’t see on other tours which I really liked. This trip had a perfect balance of structure and free time. All of the accommodations were nice and clean, my favorite one was the cave accommodation in Matera. Our tour guide, Ciro, did a fantastic job. Even in inclement weather when our boat tour got canceled, he went out of his way to make sure we still had a great day. He always had a positive attitude. All in all, I 100% recommend this trip. Culture trip’s customer service was excellent as they replied quick and was always friendly and enthusiastic and willing to help and answer any questions.Show moreTrip date: April 2023Review collected by Culture Trip
- AGeorgene· June 13th, 2023An amazing adventure of Southern Italy at Easter Francesco our tour director was one of the best that I've ever had. His attention to detail, spirit, and love of Italy made this trip one of the best that I've ever had. The hotels were great with comfortable bedding. The food and service were great. Since there were only 3 of us on the tour we spent almost 100% of our time as a group of 4 or 5. Thank you for allowing the tour to continue with this small of a group. The tour guides and bus drivers were so great. I have nothing negative to say other than the weather was too cold - unseasonable and uncontrollable.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Culture Trip
- AKimberly· June 13th, 2023Good experience, great tour leader! - Our tour leader, Francesco, was absolutely amazing! He is so personable, fun and wanted to please us in every way! Our town guide, Floriana, was also a delight and knew a wealth of history! Transportation went well, great drivers. Good hotels but Lecce’s and Polignano a Mare were so far from town with nothing to do since the weather in early April was cold and cloudy. I’m sure in warmer months when the pool is open they would suffice.Show moreTrip date: January 2023Review collected by Culture Trip
