Are you traveling to Italy and in need of tips on where to go, what to see, and what to eat? I can help! After living in both Florence and Rome and traveling extensively throughout Italy, I’d love to offer my recommendations on how to have the best time in the most beautiful country in the world. I will even go deeper and offer my advice on what to wear while you’re there, how to stick to cultural norms, where to shop, and emergency contacts should you need them.

Whether you’re planning a family trip, a honeymoon, or traveling with friends, I’d love to help you have the trip of your dreams.

As a part-time (and let’s be honest, aspiring) expat, I speak Italian and am knowledgeable about the culture, transportation, and food. When you plan a trip with my help, you will not only have access to the best Italy tips, but also an insider’s look into the major cities and unique seaside and country destinations that Italy offers. Not sure where to go? I can help! Unsure what to see while you’re there? Let me make some suggestions!

I am so passionate about Italy and sharing it with others. When you work with me on Italy travel planning, you’ll discover the best parts of this country, which is full of cultural and historical treasures that beg to be admired and experienced.

What other travelers have to say about my Italy advice:

“Maggie was an incredible help guiding us through planning our honeymoon to Italy. She listened to our vision of the honeymoon and was able to pull together such a thoughtful itinerary to match the type of trip we had in mind. I love that Maggie explores Italy with such a determination to really get to know the city, so when she provides her traveling planning you feel as though you’re picking up an agenda for a local—complete with the greatest places to eat, tips for traveling safely and efficiently, as well as moments to slow down and enjoy the city around you to get the full experience. Maggie has such a breadth of knowledge of Italy and is so passionate about sharing its beauty. I highly recommend Maggie for any of your Italy traveling needs!” -Gaby

“Maggie recommended a great pizza place for our honeymoon. We went there right after landing in Rome and watched the pizzas get made from scratch right next to our table! Delicious!” -Kelly
