Stop Letting Hidden Commissions Limit Your Italy Experience

Fix That now

Most Italy itineraries are built on commissions—not what’s best for YOU. Here’s how to take back control.

They’re paid by hotels & tours — so their “recommendations” often put profit over your perfect trip.

 

Before you book a single hotel or tour, here’s what you need to know.

 

This is the hidden truth behind many travel services: their advice is shaped by commissions, not what’s truly right for you. That dreamy-looking hotel? It might be part of a deal. That “can’t-miss” tour? It could be chosen for the kickback, not the experience.

 

The result? Overcrowded itineraries, generic excursions, and hotels that don’t fit your pace or personality.

 

If you’re investing time, money, and emotion into your Italy trip — make sure the advice you’re following actually serves you.

FAQ

Commission-driven bookings often cost more in the long run — through limited options, markups, and hidden fees. Transparent planning saves you money where it counts.

Because I’m not tied to any supplier network, we look at everything — comparing options based on your goals, preferences, and real-time availability. We don’t upsell. We don’t mark up. My only agenda is helping you get the experience that feels right for you.

Most companies sell pre-packaged trips or build modular itineraries from a limited partner portfolio — simply piecing together what they already have. We don’t. I craft fully custom journeys that reflect your style, using independent suppliers, real-time logistics, and zero commission bias.

Those “free” services earn commissions or markups — often limiting your options to what pays them.  We work directly for you, so every decision is shaped by your values, your style, and your ideal pace — not a supplier’s incentives.

Not at all. I work with independent travelers who value thoughtful, personalised experiences — whether that means boutique luxury, slow travel, or a balance of comfort and authenticity. That includes couples looking for deeper connection, honeymooners wanting something intimate and one-of-a-kind, and families seeking meaningful, well-paced adventures.
