HEAR FROM OUR TRAVELERS

 

Almost 100% of Slice travelers are referrals
We have many return travelers. Once you take a trip with Slice, you will want to start planning the next one.

The most frequent comment we get from Slice guests… “Do you do Spain? France?” Nope, sorry. We know Italy like the back of our hand and want to continue to dive deeper and be the absolute best in custom Italian travel planning.

 
 
 
We spent 20 days in Italy late September and early October 2021. We had the best time and there was no way it would have been as seamless and amazing as it was, were it not for Sally and Slice of Tuscany!

First, we arrived in Rome and spent a few days there with our travel guide (who was engaging and sweet and super knowledgeable) and saw the Vatican St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Colosseum just to name a few. The dining was beyond amazing in every city and Sally knew great restaurant recommendations and we were never disappointed.

After Rome we went to Positano for a week. We loved it here. We got lost a few times but were able to get ahold of Sally through “What’s App” - even in the middle of the night her time - and she helped us right away.

We then went to Tuscany for several days and ended in Florence. Our tour guides were all amazing and all had met Sally before and most knew her on a personal level. What Sally provides is a seamless experience. For us, her service provided drivers when necessary (that were all extremely pleasant, helped us handle our luggage, and even gave some historical perspective as we drove along), she booked all the places we were going to stay and made sure someone would be there to meet us (she double and triple checked right up until the day we arrived), she rented a car for us so all we had to do was get out of the driver she booked for us and pick up the car….. Returning it was just as easy.

Everyone asked how we knew her, and we said we were referred by several friends who had used her services more than once. We joked that everyone that knew her in Italy loved her but seemed to have a healthy fear of disappointing her, so my husband dubber her “the godfather”.

Since Italy is the only country she does- we may only be going there in the future because there is no one that can come close to providing the experience and level of service she does.

Oh my goodness! I had the best time and could not have done it without you. I can’t thank you enough. Every day was amazing and everyone we encountered that you picked out for us was professional and knowledgeable!

We planned to go to Italy for several years. We had chosen 5 different areas to visit in 14 days. Overwhelmed with organizing the trip, Sally stepped in and put all the pieces together. She helped us each step of the way - offering options and helping us with her insight to choose the best ones for us. We began our trip with an amazing itinerary and all the tickets and reservations we needed as well as contacts in Italy if we ran into problems. In addition, Sally checked in with us periodically during our trip to make sure things were going smoothly and to see if we needed help with anything. With Sally setting us up with tour guides, wine connoisseurs, chefs, travel arrangements, lodging and more, we met the most wonderful and interesting people and feel like we really experienced Italy. When we return to Italy in the future, we are calling Sally!

Thank you for helping us plan our trip to Italy! You didn’t steer us wrong with anything we saw. It was geared to all four of us and even Kaleb had a blast. The moment we landed to the day we left we all had so much fun. There wasn’t an issue with any of your plans. Monterosso was one of everyone’s favorite place as well. Every restaurant you suggested was spot on. Enzo’s staff was amazing and made Mateo’s evening singing to him. Kaleb’s personal experience making pizza all by choosing the correct Jersey was a highlight for us all. Jesse and I have talked about going back without kids in the future. You made or dream vacation seem so easy and effortless. Friends have already told us they will ask for your information if they plan a trip to Italy.

We are so thankful for Sally. We had the trip of a lifetime this summer. Sally’s touch on every day of our trip was amazing. She is definitely doing what God created her to do for families and their experiences! She has such a gift to enhance trips and memories.

The in-depth information you gave about the shops, food, entertainment, and sights was incredibly helpful. Not to mention your insider tips and information on the nuances of the culture made our exploration of the city so much better. There were many times throughout the trip that I felt that because of you, I’ve been there before, making the navigation through the labyrinth of streets and hustle a breeze.

Sally, Tony and I cannot stop talking about how wonderful our trip with you was. From beginning to end, each day was better than the next. We could not have made a better choice to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary than to spend those days with you in Italy and Sicily. Meeting your friends in Florence, shopping, great food, and what can anyone say about seeing everything there was to see in those 16 days! To walk in places we have only read about, or saw pictures of, was incredible. Thanks again for the trip of a lifetime.

Sally is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to transportation, tours and the local culture. Through her network of Florence locals, she is able to put together the ultimate Italian experience at a very reasonable price. If you want to cook with a true Italian chef, explore the Tuscan wineries or just want to find a little out of the way place for great food, Sally can make it all happen.
— KELLY • CANADA

I would definitely recommend Sally to anyone planning a trip to Italy. She is so knowledgeable and friendly and helped make ours the trip of a lifetime. We had told her what attractions/cities we wanted to see and she helped us customize our trip. I want to return for another trip to Italy in the future and will use Slice of Tuscany to plan it.
— mary • kansas city

Sally, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip - from beginning to end. I’m so happy we found you and got to spend time with you in Florence. We had a ball and just couldn’t imagine any piece of it being any better! It exceeded our expectations at every stage!

A group of twelve good middle-aged friends decided they wanted to take a trip to Italy together. Some in our group had heard that Sally (Kansas City young woman living in Florence), and her company, Slice of Tuscany, was someone we should contact. Well, after our first couple of communications with Sally, we all knew our trip was going to come to fruition.

Sally made the planning extremely fun. She suggested and we decided. I cannot give enough praise to all of the choices Sally helped us make. The flights and rental car arrangements were perfect. Our private drivers were perfect and always on time. Her private tour guides and chef were more than perfect.

Sally maximized our experiences with all. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. Already mentioning her array of wonderful contacts, she, also, suggested phenomenal restaurants (not expensive, just perfect), her favorite unbelievable wineries that will blow you away, and other miscellaneous things to see/do depending on our desires.

She’s always available. If we had a question about this or that as we were traveling, Sally promptly was able to help us out.

We would all recommend Sally to anyone who is traveling to Italy. We really just experienced a “Slice” of the country. Sally knows the whole country like the back of her hand. She speaks Italian fluently. She even taught us all how to speak Italian and we are all fluent now…….(only thing I’m kidding about).

We’ll definitely go again!!!
