What Travelers Say
Verbatim, from travelers on this trip.
“This was our 7th trip with Jewel and we’ve come to realize that travelers who choose Cultured Travel are truly a special breed. With ages ranging from 18-76, our group became one big family. Of course, the stay in Castello Fiuzzi was icing on the cake of an otherwise incredible experience!”
- Debra B.
“We had a fantastic experience as a family with a group of travelers that became our friends. We enjoyed delicious meals, learned important history, and made special visits to local farms and businesses in the Calabria region of southern Italy.”
- Nichole H.
“Meeting with locals doing the craft that their families have done for generations was spectacular and unforgettable. From picking produce, to making cheese, taking a cooking class, seeing historical sights, staying in a historic castle, and eating the most amazing food, this trip exceeded my wildest dreams.”
- Morgan L.
