My husband and I took the Perillo tour to Spain in April 2024. Everything was first class from the accommodations to the tours and especially the tour leader, Jeanette. Our group was small, 16, and Jeanette took the time to get to know each of us. The breakfast at each hotel was an amazing buffet. The group meals were all wonderful. Jeanette gave suggestions for shopping and dining outside of the planned activities. I give Perillo and a Jeanette an A+. We’ll definitely be doing another Perillo tour.

We just returned from the Greece tour, and it was wonderful. All of the hotels were 5 star, and the included meals were excellent! The tour guides were great, very knowledgeable and caring. The buses were clean, the hotels and bus drivers handle all our luggage. Wear comfortable walking shoes and enjoy your trip it was great!

The 2024 Deluxe Greece tour was beautiful. It was an easy paced tour with lots of free time. I believe that they have made some changes for 2025 by adding a night in Athens before your flight home. That is an excellent idea.

Had a great time on the Greece Deluxe Tour in September.   All four stops are beautiful places to see.  I highly recommend it.  Gina is a knowledgeable, caring and a fun tour leader.

We went to Spain with Perillo this past April. Outstanding!! Wished we’d had more time at a couple of places, but there was more to see and do. Everything was top notch, and Perillo takes good care of you. Can’t say enough good things about this trip!

This is the second Perillo tour we have taken in the past 2 years.

The Hawaiian trip was outstanding. The choice of the hotel and all the amenities provided far exceeded our expectations. A real good price performer.

We will definitely use Perillo in the future.

We have just returned home from our Tour of Greece and it was amazing! Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful trip. Our tour guide was exceptional as well as all of the walking tour guides (Athens guide was the best!)  We are already looking at planning our next tour with Perillo to either Hawaii or Italy.  We participated in the cooking class in Mykonos and was wondering if you could provide me with the name of the place where we took the class as well as their contact information.  Thank you again it was the trip of a lifetime!

It was amazing. We could not have covered as much ground on our own. I have been to Greece several times and I speak Greek.
This was the first time for my husband.

Our guide Dionysia was great. She made sure we were all settled and ready to go. She was caring thoughtful and insightful. Some of the changes she made to the logistics made our tour run all the more smoothly. Her knowledge of Greek Mythology was spot on and told in an interesting manner. I would tour with her again in an instant.Her restaurant recommendations were great , even finding a farm to table place for the foodies in our group.

The Hotels were great. The Divini Palace (amazing breakfast)was at the foot of the Acropolis and built over ruins. The neighborhood was really great withe little shops and food places. Mykonos hotel was like going to the MOMA of NY  Very cool. Dionysia even warned us about Some places that take advantage of tourist by way over charging.

We returned last week from the most amazing trip of our lifetime on the North Continental tour! Our fabulous tour leader Chiara De Marchis was the best we could have asked for as she took care of every detail and attended to any of our needs with care, compassion and expertise! Her sense of humor also made each day more memorable! We met such wonderful people, ate the best foods in Italy and awed in the views of every city we visited. These are just a small sample of the photos I took that highlights part of our memorable trip! I'm so thankful I chose Perillo to experience my first trip to Italy and the beginning of more trips with them! Grazie!!

Today is the end of my Best of Southern Italy tour. Thank you Perillo for creating this new itinerary-we started in Rome, then Naples, Bari and finally Lecce.  We were exhausted each night-never a dull moment during the day.. Our tour guide Alessia Spigonardi kept us going-we loved her so much that we will be sure to request a tour with her again in the future. The entire group got along-lifelong friendships were created. Our driver Alessandro did a fantastic job getting us everywhere we needed to be and always on time. His driving skills are impeccable. Our hotels were all beautiful and classy. We had stunning views at each one. Our dinners were superb. We honestly were treated like royalty. This has been the best travel experience of my life.Thank you Perillo Tours.

A few days ago, my Wife and I returned from the North Continental Tour. We had never taken any tours before and, although we heard great things about Perillo, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. I am pleased to report that the tour exceeded all of our expectations. The hotels were excellent and in perfect proximity to see the many sites of Italy. Getting to, from and into each of the places we visited was a breeze. I’m sure that I do not need to tell you how wonderful each of the places we visited were or how great the food was. But I did want to tell you that our tour guide Paola really made our trip the outstanding vacation that it was. Her knowledge of history, food, wine, geography etc. was exceptional. She was always available to answer any questions or provide any assistance. As you can see in these photos, we had a great time and enjoyed each other’s company.

We had a wonderful time on our Italian vacation. Everything was so well planned, we didn’t have to do anything, it was fabulous. The hotels we stayed at were very nice. The meals that were included were delicious. Really enjoyed our tour director Matia, she was so much fun and really taught us a lot of history. We will definitely use Perillo again. Thanks for everything!

When you realize all that goes into a travel experience - the hotels, transportation, tickets to various events, food, shopping and more, the Perillo Tours are more than a bargain. The interaction of the small group vacationer's makes it all worth while. Thank you to all who make it happen.

I could not have picked a better trip for my first international tour than the 14-day North Classic Italy tour with Perillo! I am a retired teacher, limited in funds, so it was important for me to get it right the first time. And with Perillo, I did! A trip of a lifetime! Despite the inherent crowds and time constraints, Perillo made sure we did not have long waits anywhere at all. Our time was optimized, and we were able to see so many amazing sights and places. My favorite? Pompeii! Experience the Roman life without “dressing it up”. Least favorite? Capri. It was too heavy in shopping and too light in history. The meals were amazing, and you’ll have to pace yourself as you will have 4-course meals every night. The hotels were excellent! I felt positively pampered. The bus was modern and very comfortable and clean. The local guides were some of the best- extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Our tour director, Nadia, worked constantly to smooth our way every day. As a retired teacher who had to plan field trips, I know how challenging all that coordination can be. She was a seasoned professional! And I cannot say enough about the entire group- friendly, cooperative, and kind. I returned feeling that I was able to get a full Italian historical immersion to relive in my memory every day. I highly recommend Perillo!

What can I say about our Vesuvius Tour other than it was amazing. Our tour guide Daniela Senise was exceptional. I had a medical problem on the trip - got on the plane in New York walking - got off the plane in Rome unable to walk. Through Daniela's caring, she arranged for a doctor to see me at the hotel, welcomed me on the parts of the tour I could do and was very honest in telling me which parts of the tour would have been impossible for me to do on the walker and eventually in a wheelchair for the last five days of the trip. She was always helpful, never made me feel like I was an imposition/bother. It is because of her that we can still say we had a marvelous time. She is smart. She is friendly. She is knowledgeable. Everything moved smoothly. Daniela is a pure treasure and Perillo Tours should hold on to her.

Our trip to Italy (Versuvius Tour) was an outstanding experience thanks to Daniela Senise and the Perillo Team. Daniela was an awesome tour director managing our itinerary while keeping an eye on all the details to ensure we had a great experience. I know there are others behind the scenes working on the details too and want to express my appreciation for them as well.

Words cannot adequately describe the experience we had with Perillo tours. ! Our 14 day northern Italy classic tour was a dream come true. Every day I woke up and felt like someone should pinch me, it was surreal. Everything was top notch from the hotels, restaurants, the itinerary and the wonderful tour guides and bus driver. I came home completely satisfied knowing that I went to Italy and so everything I wanted to see. The only disappointing part of the trip was Milan. I would've rather had more time to spend in the Sorrento/Capri area. Milan could not compare to the other cities that we visited and the activities that we did. Overall, we had a fantastic time and I highly recommend perillo tours to all my friends and family.

My husband and I recently returned from the 14 day continental tour of Italy. We picked this tour as our honeymoon and could not be happier with our choice! We had such a great time and our tour guide, Paola was incredible! We saw so many breathtaking sights, learned so much about the history and culture of Italy and ate incredible food. This trip was absolutely amazing and I just want to thank Perillo for all their hard work, awesome tour guides, and showing us the best of Italy. We can't wait to come back!

What is the definition of Perillo Tours: PERFECTO!!!!!.
Perillo Tours met and exceeded all of our expectations. From the first day when our Tour Director Irena met us at the airport till the last day of our trip when she took us back to the airport. This was a carefree and stress free vacation , the only thing we were responsible for was being on time for our scheduled tours and dinner. The hotels were exceptional. Our favorite was the Westin Europa & Regina Hotel in Venice . We had a different tour guide in each city that we visited. Their knowledge of the museums and church's that we visited was incredible. This was the trip that we dreamed of to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Thank you Steve Perillo and your team. A special thanks to our tour director Irena for treating us like family.

The Southern Italy and Sicily tour was fabulous! The places we visited were varied and filled with culture, history, and wonderful sights. It was highly diverse. Our travel guide Raffaelle, was so fabulous. He made our trip. Perillo tours are highly organized, excellently guided and competitively priced. Definitely will use Perillo again. I first heard of Perillo as a child living in the Bronx, NY. All the people from the Arthur Avenue secition used them, and as you can see we still are!

Mrs. E.R.

My wife and I took your tour in may. I just wanted to tell about the fantastic experience we had with our group and the exceptional guides at every venue. we were quick to learn the first day with Irenea that it wasn't just a job it was there passion and there life. All the guides Mauro, Max and the rest (that I can't remember their names) went beyond anything we could have expected. They made our trip worth every penny that we spent

I just came back from the Marco Polo Tour. Everything was fantastic. The tour guide went above and beyond to meet our every need. The hotels were great – and great locations! The only negative was that it was too short! I can’t wait to go back. It will surely be with Perillo Tours.
