I’ve been listening to this podcast since we started planning our trip to Rome. We learned a great deal of information that helped us on our trip. I’m going to continue listening so I can look forward to our next trip. Thanks so much!
Wow, what a find of a podcast! I thought I was following all the great Italian podcasts, but I'm so glad I found this one.
Keep up the good work.
Your content is spot on. I also focus my travels on hidden gems and where less tourists go. Just returned from Cilento and your episode was super helpful in planning. Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Very helpful and informative! Not your typical recommendations and tips. Love it please keep them coming!
