Wow - this has to be one of the best reviews I've ever received. Being able to provide memorable, once in a lifetime opportunities for other female travellers - is why I love hosting my tours! Thank you Chloe for these incredibly generous words. It was an abslolute pleasure hosting you on my Italian Escape this year x
“Sami’s Italian Escape was, without question, one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had.
As a solo traveller, I’ve explored many destinations independently, but this trip struck the perfect balance between companionship and freedom. Our group of ten like-minded women quickly became friends - kind, funny, adventurous, and full of enthusiasm - which created an atmosphere that was both welcoming and uplifting from day one.
What makes Sami’s tours truly exceptional is the incredible amount of thought, care, and expertise that goes on behind the scenes. Every detail was seamlessly organised, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the journey. Sami has a remarkable gift for sprinkling magic throughout the experience, with wonderful surprises along the way that made each day feel special.
Italy is a country best explored with someone who knows it intimately, and Sami’s local knowledge opened doors to experiences I could never have discovered on my own. From sunset cocktails at the coolest rooftop bars and chauffeur-driven journeys through the rolling hills of Tuscany, to hidden art cafés in Rome and unforgettable moments on Lake Como - including an impromptu singalong and dance party aboard a beautiful wooden speedboat. Every experience felt effortlessly curated and uniquely memorable.
We wandered through exquisite gardens in Florence, admired breathtaking sculptures and views, enjoyed cocktails at the birthplace of the Negroni, and stayed in a stunning 14th-century boutique hotel in Venice. Each location showcased Italy at its absolute best.
The tours and experiences were expertly arranged with passionate local guides, adding authenticity, insight, and genuine connection to every destination. The result was a journey that felt immersive, luxurious, and completely stress-free.
If you’re considering travelling with Sami, my advice is simple: come with an open mind, an open heart, and a sense of adventure. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories, lifelong friendships, and a deep appreciation for Italy. I certainly did—and I can’t imagine wanting to explore with anyone else.”
