I went on the 2022 trip to Italy and words can't describe how incredible it was! Alvin is the BEST host!! He really goes out of his way to make sure that everyone is happy, comfortable, and having fun. I was a bit hesitant about traveling with a larger group - I usually travel solo - but our group was amazing! By the end of the trip, I felt like I had been friends with everyone for decades. Alvin created so many memories that I'll cherish forever. It really was a magical trip and there's no way I ever would have had the same experience on my own.

Alvin’s trip to Italy was pure magic! From the gorgeous scenery, to the enchanting wineries and restaurants we visited to the fun new friends we met. Alvin puts a group of people together that is like you are with life-long friends and then creates a blast of a party. There were so many highlights but sailing the Amalfi Coast and swimming off the sailboat with our blow up toys like little kids was one of them. But Tuscany surpassed all expectations. We had been there a few times but experiencing it with Alvin, we saw it like a true Italian for the first time. I can’t wait till the next trip and I’ll definitely book again. Ciao bellissima!

I dream about those two weeks in Italy with Alvin. Our two weeks on the bus with Nicola the busdriver which included 3 fabulous days on sailboats on the Amalfi Coast was wondrous. Alvin was the perfect host as he was raised and lived in many of the towns we visited, and he was gracious and knowledgeable. We had so much wine! We visited so many makers of wine and cheese and balsamic vinegar and we toured caverns and mineral springs and cathedrals and beachside towns, and we saw castles and Ferrari and Siena's horses and Bologna and ate at wonderful restaurants with Alvin's family and friends. The landscape is breathtaking, the food was stellar everywhere we went, the hotels were classy and comfortable, and the people could not have been nicer. And everyone on the bus got along and became friends. It ended with Alvin and Denise's gorgeous wedding on a hill in Tuscany then a night in Rome...wow! I took more than 4000 pictures. I'll send them if you ask for them! A little advice...if Alvin asks you if you'd like the best steak or the best ice cream 'in the world', take him up on it.

The Alvin’s Tour's trip to Italy in June of 2022 was an experience I will never forget. I’m still browsing though photos and videos reliving this wonderful experience.The hotels, the food, the WINE and guide to places in Italy that were historic and off the beaten track sealed this experience for me as one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly orchestrated and adjusted according to limits and changes. You even managed all the calls and coordination to successfully return my luggage to me that didn’t make a connecting flight to Rome! We’ll done…so when is the next trip?

Alvin’s trips, which I have been on several of them… have been some of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. Alvin is the perfect host and made everyone and myself comfortable and happy. Alvins tours was a great experience, and a great mixture of fantastic views, food wine, and historical places. I would highly recommend anyone to take at least one of the tours. I will continue to vacation with Alvin tours in the future.
