Vita Italian Tours

My husband and I recently travelled with Gianni and Mario on their Spectacular Southern Italy tour and it was indeed spectacular. The tour was superbly organised as was the accommodation. The restaurants we ate at offered local produce and it was all delicious. The towns we visited, and the included tours, captured the beauty of this part of Italy.
Gianni and Mario were excellent hosts: friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.
We have already booked our next tour with this wonderful family run business.
We highly recommend Vita Italian Tours.

Gianni Viitellone and their family’s Travel Agency KNOW italy and they were able to organise, on short notice, a bespoke travel experience for our family. Gianni went to great lengths to ensure that my husband’s particular mobility needs were catered for and all the hotels, tours and tour operators were attentive, prompt and considerate of our circumstances. I highly recommend their personalised, committed service and would most definitely use them again!

This was our second tour with Vita Italian Tours our first tour took us to the "Northern lakes and the Dolomites". This time My wife and I travelled with Vita Italian Tours on their "Spectacular South Tour" taking in Puglia, Abruzzo and Matera, it was truly amazing. Our tour leaders Mario and his son Gianni were very knowledgeable and always professional. Our accommodation in every town was very good, Mario and Gianni's choice of eating venues lived up to the Italian reputation of great food and wines always ensuring we got to taste local specialties'. We visited some absolutely outstanding villages such as Trani, Polignano, Alberobello, Lecce and Matera to name just a few. All in all we had a fun time with some lovely people. I would definitely recommend this small family Tour company to anybody contemplating overseas travel. They booked our airfares, train travel and organized private drivers when necessary. They covered everything. Carmen and I wish them the very best for the future. Keep up the good work.

Mario and Jani were absolutely fabulous. The tour was wonderful, very good overview of the lakes and dolomites. Food choices were good and the hotels were great. Well done Vita Italian Tours

I called to ask for some information about travel to Rome and they were very helpful. Good customer service is hard to come by so I would definitely recommend this business.

Vita Italian Tours / Pronto made my Italian holiday a wonderful experience. Pronto asked what I wanted, read me like a book and totally provided the best experience catered to me. Travelling by myself for the first time was a little scary but not so with the seamless bookings for accommodation with sensational views, train travel, ferry travel and guided tours. They made sure my accommodation was in central locations and close to everything so I had the best experience. My trip was custom made and fairly last minute. Nothing was too much trouble. Gianni went through the itinerary with me prior to departure and gave me tips and tricks for travel. I love Italy and I had the BEST holiday thanks to this knowledgeable team. Sharryn P:)

My husband and I have just completed our 4th tour with Mario and crew and the last was as fabulous as the first. We had previously experienced large group travel for our first overseas trip and found it very unappealing. So we actively sourced a small group tour for our first Italian trip in 2016. Vita Italian tours was absolutely magic just the right fit for our needs and enabled sightseeing small mountain villages so easy also getting to know our fellow travelers and the tour leaders really enhanced our experience. The intimate knowledge that Vita Italian tours has of the Italian culture and history made for a very comprehensive and fact filled tour. It is the reason we are return travelers and highly recommend them if, like us, you are looking for something a bit more intimate and a thoroughly researched tour.
Grazie Mario, Vinny, Gianni and Nina
we look forward to further travel with you.

The Spectacular Tour of Puglia, Abruzzo & Matera was the trip of a lifetime!
We experienced every day the expertise of Mario and Nina’s knowledge of history, locations and great food. All delivered with enthusiasm, humour and efficiency.
It certainly surpassed all our expectations.
We could happily do it all again!
We feel privileged to have had such a wonderful time with the dynamic duo of Mario and Nina together with Gianni in Melbourne booking our extra flights in Europe.
It felt as though we were travelling with old friends.

I used Pronto Travel to help plan my month trip to Italy in August 2022. Mario and Gianni were ever helpful and knowledgeable about where to stay and how best to travel.

Their advice to hire a car in Puglia was excellent advice, they were also able to book the car hire for us. We also wanted an authentic cooking experience in Puglia and they arranged a wonderful experience in the countryside for us.

All transfers from train stations to hotels etc were reliable and high quality.

Their advice to stay for 10 days at one hotel in Sorrento and ferry around the Amalfi Coast saved a great deal of stress not having to move constantly. Gianni even connected with me on WhatsApp in case I had problems whilst away; above and beyond in service!

I’m hoping to travel to Sicily in 2024 and will definitely be going back to Pronto Travel to assist with my next travel adventure!

In June 2022, I along with four friends took a tour of Northern Italy with Vita Italian Tours. After traveling independently for over forty years, I decided to try a small group tour. Vita Italian Tours was perfect. The hotel and restaurant choices were expertly curated. Our itinerary was a perfect balance of interesting, important sites and activity level. Our tour leaders, Mario and Nina were extremely knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely travel with them in the future.i will not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.

Mario and Gianni were fabulous to be involved with in the planning of our trip. They listened intently, and made many really good suggestions. They have travelled to Italy so many times, and all recommendations were very worthwhile.
Airfares, itinerary, tours, hotels and the many other suggestions we annotated as we received our itinerary, were all most worthwhile and made for a truly special holiday.

Gianni and his family organised an exceptional Italian trip for my me and my partner. Every part of our holiday was thoughtfully planned and they were a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend this family business for anyone considering an adventure to Italy.

The first time we travelled to Italy, my husband and I did it alone. Although we enjoyed it very much, the next time we wanted to share the experience with like minded companions. In came Vita Italian Tours! We have travelled a further 3 times to Italy with Gianni and Mario, discovering a new region each time. Last year we did The Spectacular South - Puglia, Abruzzo & Matera. WOW! This was such an amazing tour. So much fun! Vita Italian Tours organised our whole travel from leaving our door in Perth to back again. Vita Italian Tours offer everything we love about a tour - structured without being over the top. It all feels so comfortable, like you are travelling with friends who just happen to know the lingo, the country and great places to eat! Thank you Gianni and Mario for your wonderful company and sharing your love of Italy with us. These have been unforgettable holidays and we cannot wait to travel with you again!
Salute! Sallie and Aurelio

We have just returned from the most amazing family holiday to Italy. Being such a big group we decided to use the services of Vita Italians tours and we are so glad we did. Our trip was seamless. From Venice to Sicily we had amazing accommodation, fantastic transport services and all the tours we booked were amazing. The service from Mario, Gianni and Nadia didn’t end when we left for our trip, but continued whilst we were in Italy with great recommendations for places to visit and places to eat and then with follow up on our return. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the services of Vita Italian tours again and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you for organising such a wonderful and memorable family holiday. Kym

We discovered the most amazing travel agents/tour company Vita Italian Tours / Pronto travel. We are so grateful for all the hard work they put into our special family holiday. Every little detail was planned, researched and explained to us by the wonderful charismatic Mario and his gorgeous son Gianni. Nadia also needs to be mentioned as she also had input! Our family of 15 took our mum to Italy to see her 2 sisters after 45 yrs living in Australia. It was the most amazing experience, all because of the smooth running itinerary organised by these guys. All I can say is they are awesome and if you are looking at getting the best in the business who definitely know their stuff look these guys up. You won’t be disappointed. From transfers, tours, tour guides, flights, accomodation to advice on best restaurants. All this because they go every year and take people on tours themselves so actually talk the talk not just assume. Thank you guys u r truly the best ️ The Guzzardi /Bontempelli/Tedesco and Farren families
