Gave them dates & cities we'll be in, they made the itinerary, and all we had to do was show up. Venice with a motorboat ride, a glass-blowing demo & sunset gondola ride. The Tuscan countryside with wine & olive oil tasting. Pasta cooking class was fun. Dinner at their favourite family-owned restaurant where I fell in love with the braciola and Sydney claimed she would leave me for the rigatoni! Amalfi Coast, Rome,... grateful for the memories we made.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Unusual Tourist.  From start to finish, they exceeded all of my expectations and went above and beyond to ensure that my travel experience was nothing short of perfect. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and attention to detail is truly unmatched. Thank you Celeste for an incredible trip!

Celeste took the time to truly understand my family wants and needs, and created a personalized itinerary tailored specifically to our preferences. They also assisted with our wonderful wedding in Lake Como, Italy. They were attentive, responsive, and always available to answer any questions or address any concerns that I had. The accommodations arranged for our family were top-notch and the activities and excursions included in my package were truly unforgettable.

I recently completed a fantastic 14-day journey through Northern Italy with Unusual Tourist. They expertly handled all the logistics for our group of 10, including guides, hotels, and transfers. Their meticulous planning allowed us to stay in and visit some incredible places. We were particularly impressed by their efforts to accommodate our special requests and their willingness to consider last-minute changes. Their approachable and flexible attitude made the trip stress-free.

I was recently on a trip that Celeste organized, and I have nothing but good things to say. It is the second trip, and I'm so happy with the trip and the Unusual Tourist. Celeste organized our trip to Croatia and to Northern Italy, and handled all details - even the unexpected ones - with grace and professionalism. Celeste attended to the mobility needs of one of our travelers and also added personalized touches that made each trip fantastic.

Home safely late yesterday after a wonderful trip. We have had a marvellous three weeks in Europe and Florence - we all concurred was a highlight! ... in contact with Unusual Tourist and Elisabeth. The tours with them were excellent and both guides really educated us. The Sagrada Familia (in Barcelona) and Florence and David came alive.

Thanks for everything. The trip ran very very smoothly. Excellent drivers and excellent guides.

I planned a mother-daughter getaway to Italy, a fantastic idea, but... Choosing the right Tour Guide was essential to keep a teenager mood swing to a minimum! Celeste, was very pleasant, accommodating, had great knowledge and ideas of interesting places for (us) to see. Our tour guide, Elisabetta,... excellent, well-informed, fantastic knowledge, kept (us) interested, and wanting to know more... my fear of a teenager meltdown all washed away. Unusual Tourist opened her eyes, kept her awed and interested!

I got to celebrate my 40th birthday in Italy. Unusual Tourist assisted me on not just sightseeing tours but experiencing Italy like a local. Thank God I didn’t make a mistake of going to the Uffizi Gallery without one of their excellent guides! I tried to tap into my creativity (in a sculpting class). my own self-made souvenir now stands at a special corner in my flat... (Amalfi Coast via Pompeii) fascinating tour with another one of their great guides.

Thanks for organising the tour for us last week - Sylvia was absolutely brilliant - what a lovely lady with such a wonderful wealth of knowledge..we loved Rome and will be back!

It was a wonderful day, Celeste. What a treasure Elisabetta is, sharing her knowledge of Florence history, culture, art, wine making, olive oil!!! Feeling blessed to have been in her company. She is special. Thank you for passing on the information for Mass in English😉

We had great day in Siena and San Gimignano with Slyvia and our driver. We loved the cooking class. It was lots of fun and the staff and food were great. And all of our homemade pasta was cooked without exploding. Only problem was that we were stuffed afterwards and had to take afternoon naps from the excess food and wine. We have had great time and will definitely use you again.

We are very excited. Thank you for all your hard work! Especially since it was on such a short timeframe.

We had such an amazing few days. You provided us with so much entertainment, variety, fun and just memorable time. Your knowledge is vast and there appeared to be nothing you didn't know or able to teach us and all with humour and understanding of our group. Thank you both so very much - you make a brilliant team!

We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed it very much. Francesca, Maria, Alex, Elizabetta and Barbara were all fantastic!  We were especially fond of Elizabetta. When we left Florence and arrived in Venice we simultaneously said to each other, “I miss Elizabetta”. She brought the history to life for us and we enjoyed it so much.

Our recent trip around Spain would not have been the same without the service and guidance of Unusual Tourist. From the airport transfers, the tours, the topnotch guides, the experienced drivers, the curated sites and meal recommendations; everything was seamless and professional, yet personal and warm.

The activities planned for the retreat were of an exceptional standard. The visit to Pompeii and the treasure hunt based on communication, team-building and recognition created a professional environment for our various discussions as evident through positive feedback received from participants. We certainly appreciated your time and effort in responding to our various needs and would recommend using your services.

Hilde was amazing!!  She was our absolute favorite guide while we visited Italy.  Her enthusiasm & knowledge was outstanding!  Thank you to her and your company for a wonderful experience!  I don't know if you do ratings but she's 5 stars out of 5! Thank you again.

Some of the most amazing experiences I've had was with the Unusual tourist. They took us to through Florence and gave us a lens that was so truly Italian I can't picture anything different. We went to farms, wine tours, amazing country side, restaurants, bars, markets and I was completely blown away. I also learned so much... the visceral experience and in depth education, completely changed my perspective and enriched my appreciation for Italy, art, culture, and life in general.

Unusual Tourist is your trusted travel company, providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Off the beaten path makes for a richer more meaningful experience. We had booked a few walking tours including the Uffizi and Accademia in Florence and we couldn't have made a better choice. We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting trip to the Tuscan countryside. I encourage any traveler to consider Unusual Tourist. Bravo!

They really went the extra mile for us, and gave us the best deals. Their professionalism is very impressive. The service was excellent, the guide was brilliant, and the tours they planned for us were truly memorable. What sets them apart is that they really care about their clients and go about their work with so much passion. I will book with them, and only them, each time I plan a trip to Italy.

The Unusual Tourist helped us organise everything from sight-seeing and food tours to classic car rentals and pizza making for kids. They work with exceptional guides, chefs and locals who really bring the activities to life. Highly recommend them for all types of travellers looking for traditional to ‘unusual’ tours and activities.

The personalised attention I received from The Unusual Tourist while planning trips and the quality of tours and guides arranged for my clients while in Italy was outstanding.  It was reassuring to have someone “on the ground” in Italy who could handle any needs and/or answer any questions that my clients had while traveling. I now have a new “go to” tour company for my clients who want to truly experience Italy.
