I won a five day stay in Naples and just returned from a wonderful stay in the heart of that very vibrant city. We loved the proximity to the waterfront as well as the shops, dining, and more on the street where our charming inn was located. Many thanks!

Donna Franca and her team prepared an amazing Italian experience for us. They provided us multiple lodging options with detailed information on each hotel and its location that helped us pick what was best for us. The hotel we ended up selecting was beautiful and we had an amazing time. Donna Franca Tours also arranged for our transportation to and from the hotel which was an added bonus. It made the trip so simple from our perspective and we could focus on the experience and not the logistics. Overall, we had an excellent experience and will definitely be using Donna Franca Tours again for our future travel needs.

Spoke with a gentleman named Leo to help assist in booking a trip for my father during the Covid-19 madness. He was more than pleasant to work with and gave us the best price while ensuring to update us with any schedule changes that may occur due to international flight restrictions. I never book through an agent but will definately be doing so going forward because of the great experience Ive had with Donna Franca Tours and most importantly Leo. Would definately reccomend trying their services out!

Donna Franca Tours set up our travel in three areas of Italy. The travel included train tickets, pick up and delivery to airport and customizedtours with exceptional guides. An anthropologist who works in the ruins of Pompeii provided the history and story of the area. A guided walking tour of Florence and a Italian cooking experience were part of seeing that city. We experienced an outstanding trip to a winery outside of Florence for wine tasting and a wine pairing dinner on our last night in the area.An amazing guide for a 7:00 breakfast tour of the Vatican and the Cistine Chapel and St. Peters Cathedral were highlights of our stay in Rome.The day trip to Capri could have been explained better as we did not know we would need to pay an additional fee to get a boat ride around the island until we actually got to Capri.All of the hotels were lovely, especially the one in Naples. Your team did an outstanding job.

Donna Franca made my dream vacation come to life. My boyfriend and I traveled to Rome, Florence and Venice. Donna Franca put us in amazing hotels, including one in Rome with our own private Roman bath out on the balcony. The views from our hotel in Florence was unbelievable, and there was a roof bar that was open 24/7. All the hotel locations were very central, and we were able to walk everywhere. We even had free champagne in each room upon arriving.Donna Franca also made transfers very easy. Neither my boyfriend nor I speak or read any Italian so it was comforting knowing that we would have someone helping us get where we needed to go. Every time we had to get on or off a train or bus, there was a representative there holding a sign with our names to let us know where to go. There was also someone at the airport as soon as we got there to bring s to our hotel.Donna Franca tours scheduled excursions to Pompeii, the Vatican, the coliseum and an island in Venice that specializes in glass blowing. We had skip the line passes to each of these famous sites. Donna Franca gave us a perfect itinerary that allowed us to see everything that we wanted to see, while still being able to explore the cities on our own.All in all it was the trip of a lifetime, and I would highly recommend Donna Franca tours. We will definitely be using them again, hopefully very soon.

Had a trip of a lifetime - the itinerary was perfect - the hotels, tours and wine tastings were amazing. Our guide, Juliana, was professional, knowledgeable and fun to guide us through Italy. She arranged an add-on which exceeded every expectation.I highly recommend Donna Franca Tours!

My family used Donna Franca Tours to plan two memorable trips to Italy. On our first trip we traveled to Rome, Florence, and Venice. We loved the trip so much we went back to see the Amalfi Coast. She found us the best hotels, restaurants and wine tastings. I would recommend Donna Franca Tours to anyone hoping for and unforgettable European vacation!

I have used Donna Franca for years, as a travel agent, for my clients, both individuals and groups. All her people both in reservations and on the ground go one step beyond. They have the latest info and make sure you have it too. The basic tours have always brought rave reviews from clients down to the private dinner party at the villa. The custom work has always recommended the best hotel situations for the individuals based on the clients needs. They know or can find out about any special element that you require for your stay. I thank you Donna and your wonderful staff for taking such good care of our clients.

I loved my experience with Donna Franca Tours. My family and I traveled to Rome, Florence and Venice with trips to Pompeii and Capri and we were able to experience a lot of memorable moments in a short period of time.Donna Franca Tours was also able to customize my familys second trip to Italy. They helped us retrace our Italian roots and reconnect with relatives in a small village in the Abbruzzo region.I highly recommend traveling with Donna Franca Tours! You wont be disappointed!!

Leo at Donna Franca tours was the epitome of the perfect travel agent. Ours was a custom tour we knew specific locations and things that we wanted to do. Leo was able to arrange everything and added to that his expertise in helping us choose the best locations as well as travel connections. If the goal is to travel Italy with an insiders advice Donna franca tours is the gold standard

We traveled on the Allure of the Seas in August. We had 3 stops in Italy. Caroline planned ourPrivate Tours off the Boat. We spent the day on the Cinque Terra with Marco our guide.What a fabulous day! We hiked between towns, had a marvelous lunch and traveled on theFerry Too. Marco made the day. Highly recommend him!

My husband and I used Donna Franca Tours last fall, October, 2016. They did a fabulous job and we enjoyed the trip. This fall, 2017, we are planning on going to France. I was told by Donna Franca Tours that they could indeed plan this trip for us. That was the first week of April, 2017. It is now May 17th and after three calls to the office, no one has sent me anything, My initial conversation was with Stephen who assured me I would be getting information. I have not received anything, not even a call back from Stephen. Poor job at communicating. If you dont want to help us out, just be upfront.

After using DFT to plan several wonderful custom tours to Italy, we called them to help us with tours of Vatican and Colliseum/Forum in Rome. Happy to help, they booked 2 amazing private tours (4 adults). The guide was incredibly knowledgable and interesting, very engaging and funny and really adapted the tour to our pace. Cant wait to use DFT for our next trip to Italy.

Just returned from the Rome & Amalfi tour. Fantastic trip and every detail went off perfectly. Donna Franca was great to work with, adding in a few things we wanted and deleting some others. Five starts and two thumbs up.

I do not hesitate to contact Leo Locke at Donna Franca Tours whenever I need to book a trip anywhere in Italy. He is gracious and an expert able to answer any questions at any time. To date we have had a wonderful working rapport both with land and air. Call Donna Franca Tours and ask for Leo!!!

I was very pleased with all arrangements made by Donna Franca Tours. The preprinted instructions were extremely helpful.The Hotels were first rate and all situated where getting to and from places I wanted to visit was not a problem. The arranged transport at airport and hotels were, by and large, excellent with just some difficulty due to size of places where the drivers were to be met. I do not know if this is a critique that the Tour should be held accountable for but I could have used some forewarning about how extremely crowded some cities could and would be. However, that might not be anyones fault at all and just the times we are living in. I would definitely use Donna Franca again and recommend them to a friend.

We had a fabulous extended family holiday trip to Sicily using Donna Franca Tours to coordinate flights, transfers, lodging, in-villa chef, excursions and restaurant reservations. 18 of us traveled from all over the USA and even 1 from Saudi Arabia.Every detail exceeded our expectations; we even experienced a Mount Etna eruption on Christmas Eve while dining at Azienda Agricola Murgo San Michele in Santa Venerina.Magical Trip...huge thank you to Leo and staff!!!!

We have been to Italy 4 time. We have recommended DFT to numerous friends as well.We cannot imagine going to Italy again without guidance from Donna Franca. She is the best!!!

Everyone loves Italy and everyone wants to be an expert on this special part of the world. But when I am planning a trip for this beautiful, diverse, and historic country I call the real experts. The entire staff at Donna Franca Tours lives and breathes all things Italian and know everything from that perfect Tuscan villa to excitingly elegant Milan to the many cities of ancient imperial Rome. In traveling with Donna Franca tours I have experienced tasting fine wines with a view of Mt Vesuvius to viewing magnificent paintings in churches tucked away in picture postcard perfect town, to knowing the perfect place for that mid-morning cafe. Donna Franca is Italy.Donna ZabelDreamMaker Destinations

We just came back from a cooking tour in Tuscany! It was fantastic! Our private tour guide micheala was wonderful too!

Cindy and I celebrated our 50th anniversary with a 15 day trip to Italy, (including Sicily) arranged through Donna Franca Tours and our travel agent Erika Swerling.From start to finish, it was the most enjoyable trip that we have ever had. This was our second trip to Italy. Our initial trip about 17 years ago was wonderful as we saw Venice, Milan, Florence, Pisa and Rome. This time our arranged trip included Venice and Rome again but also other parts of Italy and an additional 6 days in Sicily. The time in mainland Italy was over the top but the 6 days in Sicily, especially with our private driver (guide and newfound friend) Marco Valenzia, was so wonderful that it is difficult to describe in words. Sicily is beautiful and, of course, the Italian people are so very wonderful.Since returning home, Cindy and I have said to each other several times.....Wow, what a trip!. We cannot wait to schedule our next trip and Sicily will be included in whatever we do.Thanks Erica and Leo........what an awesome job you did!!Steve and Cindy Osborn

The most horrible experience ever! Miserable owner, Leo Locke, and his wicked mother, Donna Franca, will steal you blind. Never a breakdown on pricing, overpays on hotels (likely skims off the top), books inferior rooms, and charges for services that are not received. You could not do business with anyone worse.

Just returned from our amazing tour of Sicily.Era fantastico!!!Our deepest gratitude to Leo and Staff for planning the most special tour. Leo, you captured all of our individual interests and created a dream come true for each one of us. From the wine tastings for my husband to the amazing history of this beautiful island for our son. For me,it was an experience of the religious devotion of the many citizens of all the cities we visited. Donna Franca tours reads the minds of their clients and makes that dream come true.A special thanks to our private guide there in Sicily, Vincenzo.. an amazing guide who takes again your dreams, and opens each city for you to enjoy.Caro amico Vincenzo, grazie mille.!!😘😘😘

Excellent company- recently spent a month in Puglia-thanks Stephen.

THIS EXPERIENCE WAS LIFE-CHANGING FOR THE CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. THE SELECTION OF HOTELS AND FACILITIES WAS EXTRAORDINARY.

Caroline at Donna Franca was so helpful in pulling a last minute two week trip to Italy together. We chose to go with private tour guides and the guides were all top notch. All of the hotels were also wonderful. We found the service excellent. Hotel Margareta on the Amalfi Coast in particular was so lovely. They have a roof top restaurant thats view was so quintessentially Amalfi Coast and was only matched by the food. Caroline also arranged for a private cooking lesson at our Hotel in Radda in Chanti. The lesson was in the 18th century kitchen. The instructor Lorenzo was wonderful. The lesson was the highlight of our trip. This was the first time we booked a trip through a travel agent. We would do it again and we highly recommend Caroline at Donna Franca.

Leo is one of the best Italy experts!
