There’s no better way to find out about the quality of our tours than by hearing it from our clients, people who have travelled with us, many of them several times already.
Our company policy is to concentrate on the quality of our tours and spend less on advertising. Therefore we rely heavily on word of mouth and clients’ recommendations, so our client feedback is very important to us! If you have been recently on one of our tours, please download your feedback form here.
One of the best endorsements one can get is repeat business, and we’ve always been flattered by how many of our customers come back year after year. We are honoured that many recommend us to their friends too!
Read what our guests have to say about our great Italian adventures (and please feel free to ask us for references about a specific trip):
We felt that the trip in general was wonderful, with a very good choice of hotels, and some great hikes that we would never have found on our own. We love being in Italy and felt that you offer a great service to people who want active and involved travel. 
(Barbara Hauter - Santa Barbara, California)
Positively, absolutely and completely had the BEST time in both Sicily and Amalfi
(Ann Pizzato - Australia)
The entire trip was absolutely flawless. The organisation was first class, with excellent accommodation, fantastic routes with first class maps and info on the area, the restaurants chosen were unique and totally rustic, with the best leadership team I have encountered on any bike ride.
(Mike Fennings - UK)
Peter, you put together a marvelous tour. We saw a lot of the real Sicily, and that's what you advertise. THANK YOU! It was a great experience . . .
a fascinating adventure in a wonderful place. Kindest regards,
(Bob Lamoree - Midlothian, VA)
I am finally back in a chilly Cape Town having had the most blissful break. It was truly great to meet all of you and thank you for the most wonderful week. I shall have abiding memories of our week together. Who can forget all the lovely pasta, piadini, large caprese salads, pizza, beer, rosé and ice cream with great cycling and magnificent scenery to boot. The fruits and flowers of Italy will also always stay with me. A huge thank you to you Peter – bellissimo, molto bello! Love to you all.
(Anthea Vos - Cape Town)
Unfortunately, our amazing holiday in Italy came to an end! It was definitely one of our best holidays ever, thank you so much for your perfect organisation, planning and detailed explanation. It could not have been better! We enjoyed every second of it!
We wish you a lot of success for the future and hope to travel soon again through Genius Loci!!
(Caroline Schmit - Luxemburg)
Your efforts--and those of your company--in putting together a varied itinerary was very clear to all the participants, who feel that they had a very complete exposure to Sicily.
(Barbara)
This summer's trekking in the Dolomites was the best vacation we may ever have taken.
(Robin Riblet – Santa Barbara, USA)
Sharon and I had an absolutely fantastic time with you all – thanks to Peter and everyone in the group for making it one to remember. Simon

When travelling alone it is good to have the knowledge of a local guide and to get some company. You guys were real diplomats and worked hard at keeping us all happy! I can see why you fell for the Italian way of life. It is very contagious!
(Paul)
Thank you all for your lovely company on a great holiday. There is no longer a heat-wave in Sheffield so no sitting outside for coffees this evening ! Looking forward to seeing the photos.
(Caroline)
Hi John, Below details of Peter of Genius Loci Travel - a contact in Amalfi - he guided our cycle ride and was superb - he also has run a local tour company for 12+ years in the Amalfi region - def worth a look at if you fancy a walk in that region!
(Tony Roberts)
We really enjoyed our holiday on the Amalfi coast and particularly enjoyed the kayaking and your hospitality. I hope Genius Loci and AmalfiKayak prosper as you seem to be genuine and enthusiastic people who deserve to succeed. We would love to come back and do some walking.
(Phil & Angie)
Tell everyone I said thank you greatly! It was a great trip! I will be planning a trip to northern Italy within the next few years and you can guarantee I will be looking for what your company offers.
Thanks again!
(Andrew)
Peter, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to help sort out our problems with the Cinque Terre trip. Everything turned out great. We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the hotels we were booked into and the hikes that we were sent on. We are now in Bellagio enjoying the beautiful sights and considering which of the hikes you recommended to take. Thank you again for all of your assistance.
(Jeanne Brennan & Lynne Foster)
Have arrived back to Ireland to nice soft rain !! Many thanks for excellent trip and may I say that your choice of routes was excellent and your guiding tops(I have been on many guided foreign trips and you get first prize). Wishing you and family success in the future. Will keep an eye on your web site.
(John O Halloran)
Thank you so much for making this a GREAT vacation
(Alan & Barbara)
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Sicily and would love to go back there some day. If your offer to send some of your photos is still open, I'd love to get them.
(Judy Bussey)
Your efforts--and those of your company--in putting together a varied itinerary was very clear to all the participants, who feel that they had a very complete exposure to Sicily.
(Barbara)
Great Value added to the tour with your local Knowledge. We will be back
(Peter & Alexis)
Beautiful scenery, just the right combination of culture and physical challenge, a delightful, knowledgeable guide in Peter and fabulous food and wine...it doesn't get any better than this. I'm heading back to Italy for another trip with Genius Loci this spring.
(Julie Denny, Princeton, NJ, USA)
Just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful Sicily trip and to let you know the hotels in Malta, Pozzallo and Catania were fine and the restaurant in Pozzallo absolutely fantastic! The five of us had a great time, as I'm sure Barbara has told you. We got a special tour by a family descendant of the Palazzo Biscari in Catania which was totally unexpected and very exciting. The bruises are nearly gone. Life goes on. But what a wonderful trip!!!!!
(J. Denny)
Greetings to Antonio and crew. We really did enjoy our kayaking and I have told my friends and family all about it. Also on Tripadvisor!
(Andrea Grimmond)
I must tell you the directions you have provided me are wonderful. It maybe that I am extremely careful, since I am not used to the Italian waymarks, but I have only had one minor problem. The countryside is beautiful.
(Ann Krikorian)
As you know, me and Tamsin spent a couple of extra days in Amalfi... and was it expensive!! It just underlines everything Peter did for us.
(Alison Hepworth)
I'm back safe and sound to a cold wet New Zealand winter after my European tour and just want to thank you again for your efforts in making the Sicilian tour so memorable. It is a beautiful place and I hope I can return again some day. Compliments for: best example of Sicilian cuisine - that magnificent lunch in Carmello's orchard & Best vino della casa - that raw, full-bodied red was something special !
(Paul Dobson - New Zealand)
Dear Madame/Sir, This is just to let you know that I had a very enjoyable tour to Italy Lake District in late Sept early October and wanted to let you know that I have only good things to say about our guide Teo. He was professional, knowledgeable and has very good people skills. I would not hesitate to go on one of your trips again. Thanks again.
N.D.
hear wonderful things about your trips. We are looking forward to joining the group!
(Kathleen Lavidge)
The best tour yet!
(Charles & Jocelyn Selby)
