What others are saying about Truly Italy trip consulting...

"Katie has lived her knowledge of Italy. Her extensive travels and thorough research provides a lot of information that allow you to form an itinerary and she does it in a easy to follow fashion.  She's a wonderful listener and works with you for your unique experience.  After consultations she's provide follow up information specific to your trip.  Additionally she knows such a wide range of people in Italy that she'll assist you in getting to meet locals and smaller niche type places that are marvelous and off the beaten path.  This isn't a cookie cutter approach. It's a tailored approach.  Katie makes herself available and thoroughly follow up on any questions or needs. I believe I've saved 10-20 hours of work by utilizing her in addition to the fantastic places that she advised us to take in on our trip."
