We Translate Your Vision into the Trip of a Lifetime.
Travelers turn to See Italy to access the Italy beyond the postcard places. We handle the research and reservations for you, so you can savor your trip without a care in the world – whether you’re looking to honeymoon in Sorrento or to glimpse the splendor of Lake Como.
In crafting your trip, we consider how you wish to travel. Some travelers want to stroll the medieval streets of Tuscany. Others long to wander Venice’s quiet canals. Wherever you go, your trip will reflect your interests—who you are.
Quality served with care is our mantra. Each year, our staff spends months personally vetting the best in Italian travel – boutique hotels, private-access tours, and soul-touching experiences. For See Italy, quality goes beyond a 5-star rating. It starts with unlocking for you the warmth of the Italian people.
Ultimately, There are Three Reasons Why Travelers Choose to Explore Italy with Us:
Experiences
We help connect you with the real Italy – from picking olives in Chianti to making pasta with grandmothers in Puglia. Because we personally know Italy’s top memory-makers, we can give you access to moments you’ll never find on google. Do you love art? You can paint Carnival masks with an artisan in Venice! Do you love food? You might make cannoli from scratch at a Sicilian bakery? Do you love magical views? You can hike the Amalfi Coast with a local guide.

Laura Massoni
Company Founder & Chief Travel Planner
I was born and raised in Turin, Italy, and moved to San Diego in 1992. This has allowed me to share my Italian culture and heritage with my American friends and family. I am in love with helping North American travelers experience the real Italy that I grew up in. When planning a trip to Italy, I endeavor to help my clients see the world through Italian eyes – accessing the Italian behind the postcard places. I have worked in the travel industry for over two decades. In 2011, I realized that I needed to return to my Italian roots – committing my business to focusing exclusively on Italy. I adore sharing the beauty, authenticity and warmth of my homeland with clients. I now live in Palermo, Sicily, with my family.
Ilaria Gioia
Travel Planner
I was born in Bologna where I graduated from Law School. After working in a law firm, I soon realized that the legal profession was not my calling. So, in 2007, I decided to challenge myself and pursue my passion for different cultures. I left Italy and moved to San Diego, where I worked in Little Italy and studied English for almost two years. In 2009, I came home to Italy and started a little bed-and-breakfast in the heart of Bologna – hosting guests from all over the globe. This experience allowed me to hone my skills in customer care. In 2014, my friend Laura Massoni hired me to plan extraordinary trips and support our travelers in Italy. Always, I strive to guarantee that travelers will leave Italy wowed by the quality of our care and in love with the people and places of my lovely homeland.
Valentina Losavio
Travel Planner
I was born and raised in Rome, where I graduated from the University of Rome with a specialization in Travel and Business management. I studied ballet for over a decade and danced professionally in Italy and the United States. In 1998, I moved to San Diego and became a certified travel planner in 1999. For years, I worked at Travel Experts as the company’s chief planner for Italy and Europe. Since 2006 I have focused exclusively on arranging wow-worthy trips through Italy. I know the importance of proper planning when traveling to Italy. Because I have the knowledge and experience to make your trip stress-free, you can rest assured that you’re in expert hands. Your time in Italy will be a relaxed and enriching experience. I help you transform your vision of Italy into memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Ivana Libertone
Client Relations
I was born in Campobasso, a small city in the Molise region. Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by foreign languages. After earning a degree in Foreign Languages & Literature, I began work in the tourism sector. This is when I discovered that the travel industry is my passion! Building unforgettable itineraries, caring for clients and doing all that’s possible to create wonderful memories… these are the small things that fill my heart and make me love the work I do. When you love Italy, you love sharing it with the world—our way of life, our traditions and our food! I love sharing authentic experiences – like dining in a neighborhood trattoria in picture-perfect Trastevere quarter – that transform your trip into a memory you’ll treasure for life.
