“Scappare Travel was the best escape EVER! My husband and I went to Florence and Tuscany with STC and Maria and Amy were there with us acting as our own private concierge for our small group. We were led through Florence and the Tuscan countryside like a friend and local, not like a tourist, which was an amazing feeling and such a different way to travel.”
“We love Scappare Travel! My husband and I went on a STC trip to Puglia and it was fantastic start to finish, and we enjoyed a truly authentic experience. STC took care of us from the second we got off the plane but there was still enough time on our own to explore and discover things at our own pace. The trip was full of fun things which were included but it never felt too packed. We particularly loved that Amy was there with us the whole time in the background as she was always 100% accessible and a great help with language hurdles and reservation-making. She even taught us some Italian which was fun. I also loved that we met some of Amy and Maria’s friends and contacts in Puglia, and that now we are lucky enough to call them friends too! Ciao Giovanni! He is from Ostuni and led us through Ostuni, Poglinano a Mare, and Monopoli like locals, even took us to his house to meet his dogs and have pasta there which his wife cooked, and on the way stopped at his favorite local cheese shop without warning so we could taste the most incredible buffalo mozzarella which was still warm when they handed it to us. These are experiences you get with Scappare Travel that we would never have found on our own. Go on a trip with STC you will not be disappointed, they know what they are doing and they know Italy, and you will have a fantastic time.” ~Laura K.
“If you want to travel to Italy and feel like more of a local than a tourist, then you should sign up with Scappare Travel. My wife and I are so thankful we did. We traveled to Florence with a small group and Maria and Amy were there waiting with our transport the second we got off the plane, and made everything easy and smooth. They both speak Italian and helped us navigate everything, we felt very well taken care of, and we liked that they keep the groups small. The hotel in Florence was ridiculous good for what we paid. We particularly loved when Amy took us to meet Paolo in Florence to show us the city and he was such an amazing guide and person that we were talking about all sorts of things by the end and my wife and I are still in touch with him. STC arranged the most wonderful private wine tour for us in the hills of Chianti Classico and we had lunch at the cutest town Panzano with the famous butcher there. The ease and pace of the trip, the thoughtful extras, the built in time on our own, the Tuscan touches all made for such a fantastic trip and we never once felt like an outsider or a tourist. We highly recommend Scappare Travel if you are going to Italy and already tell all of our friends about them. Thanks Maria and Amy!” ~Joe L.
“Scappare Travel was the best escape EVER! My husband and I went to Florence and Tuscany with STC and Maria and Amy were there with us acting as our own private concierge for our small group. We were led through Florence and the Tuscan countryside like a friend and local, not like a tourist, which was an amazing feeling and such a different way to travel. One of the things we loved was that STC had a pre-arranged aperitivo/happy hour the night of our arrival waiting for us – it was perfect. We were tired from travel but wanted to stay awake until bedtime and it was the perfect glass of wine (my husband had a Spritz) and small bites to get us to bedtime not to mention it was delicious better than anything we’ve had here. We absolutely loved our day trip to Montepulciano, and STC had everything arranged ahead of time – transportation was elegant and on time, and we were met with the most wonderful guide who showed us the town, and there was plenty of down time to sit and soak in some sun in the local piazza. With STC we felt very well cared for but also had enough time on our own, a great balance for us and we felt we got so much for the price we paid. There were plenty of great experiences built into the trip, things I would not have known to look for or book on my own so I now know what STC means when they advertise an “insider experience” – you will definitely get one here. We will be booking again!” ~James B.
“Scappare Travel is the best! Don’t call anyone else. They plan the most amazing trips to Tuscany, including a stay in Florence and you, too, can enjoy travel with a small group. The value is incredible in respect to all that is included. You will be comfortable and taken care of the entire time, feeling relaxed and at ease to enjoy Tuscany, with the exceptional Italian food and wine. Because Amy and Maria have a number of special contacts, visiting off the track spots is doable. Transport and hotel experiences are smooth, upscale and as advertised. It is the perfect balance of activities versus relaxing time to explore and be on your own. The group dinners are then a nice change of pace. Maria and Amy will answer any questions you might have before the trip begins. Chatting with them is so comfortable. Their love for Italy shines through all they do!” ~Carol A.
“I just wanted to share how happy I was with my Italian Adventure STC planned for me.
As a first time, single traveler, I was a bit hesitant to embark on my Italian trip. But STC organized lovely accommodations and an itinerary that included wonderful cultural sights while still allowing me free time to enjoy the magic of my surroundings.” ~Diana M.
