“Irpinia Escapes was exactly what I was looking for when planning my vacation to Southern Italy. The main reason for my trip was to discover the land where my great grandfather was born and lived. Southern Italy is known to be less touristy, meaning more authentic experiences, but could be challenging for those who don’t speak Italian! After reaching out to Irpinia Escapes, I knew I found my guide to explore the land of my ancestors. My family and I had an above-and-beyond experience with all the Irpinia Escapes staff and are forever grateful. We plan to return to Southern Italy and use these services again. 10/10 would recommend, helps you sit back to actually enjoy your vacation instead of worrying, will I get lost, I don’t know how to speak the language. They take care of it all! ”
