Mary organized our honeymoon to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. She planned the whole trip, down to the last detail! We traveled all around the three countries and, even if the locals did not speak English, everything went according to plan. I highly recommend!

Mary organized a 2 week adventure through 5 countries for our sister trip! Through Rome, Pompeii, Capri, Bratislava, Vienna, Czesky Krumlov, Prague, Málaga, and Granada I had the trip of a lifetime. Mary coordinated our travels on planes, trains, and automobiles (literally it was crazy). I never would have thought it was possible to travel to so many places in such a short amount of time, on a budget, while having fun and being so relaxed. The feeling I had on this whole trip is indescribable, it honestly felt like a dream. My life was changed on this trip and I can’t wait for our next adventure!

I wanted to share my wonderful experiences that I’ve had based on the suggestions and help of Mary Hitselberger. Mary just plain knows travel. While I’ve been to Italy on multiple occasions, Mary was able to show me areas in Italy that most tourists never see or experience. We’ve stayed on a vineyard in Tuscany literally looking out at San Gimignano, toured Sienna and visited Michelangelo Park overlooking Florence. We’ve visited the beautiful coast and stayed in quaint beach-side resorts in Santa Maria and Agropoli. We’ve stayed in both hotels and Air B&B’s in Sorrento. Most recently we stayed in Matera, the village of stone, and spent several nights at a hotel that was literally carved into a cave. While we’ve also done all of the tourist things in Rome, Florence, Venice and more, it’s Mary’s experience in the lesser known and less crowded areas of Italy that make her and Dolce Vita Travel Co. such a pleasure to work with. My wife and I wouldn’t use anyone else in Europe and particularly Italy.
