The Trip of a Lifetime Carlotta Prandi, the owner of Piedmont Tours, helped me plan a two-week trip of a lifetime! She arranged just about every aspect of the trip—airport pick up, hotels, train tickets, car rental, private city guides in Genoa, Turin and Venice (which is not in Piedmont)—and offered suggestions about restaurants, as well as arranging a truffle hunt and a visit to the Langhe wine region. The main reason for visiting Piedmont was to visit the birthplaces of my maternal grandparents (Castelnuovo Don Bosco and Cassine). With Carlotta’s help I found out the address of the home where my grandmother had grown up in Cassine. Everything went according to plan (other than missing one of my trains, my fault). Grazie mille, Carlotta!! E stato un viaggio bellisimo and truly memorable! Stephen Dolainski 5 star extremely personalized experience. Carlotta created an amazing itinerary based on what I advised we wanted to do and see. She helped with everything and was always accesible and willing go the extra mile. It was like planning the trip with a friend that had all the knowledge and connections in Piemonte. Got to do and see a lot of Piemonte in the time time I there. Grazie mille Carlotta & Piedmont Tours! Jeannine Carlo I had an amazing experience with Piedmont Tours! From the moment we reached out, Carlotta was incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive. She went above and beyond to keep us informed, especially with updates on weather and logistics. The truffle hunt with Stefano and his dog Kira was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. The level of personal attention and communication made us feel completely taken care of, and Carlotta’s dedication ensured everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Piedmont Tours for anyone looking for an unforgettable and well-organized experience in Piedmont. Five stars! Scott Solomon Our recent trip to Piedmont six adults, and Carlotta managed to keep all of us very happy indeed. She planned all the details for us expertly, giving us lots of good advice and suggestions along the way. She was always in good spirits, cheerful, and helpful, I could not recommend her services more highly. North Atlantic If I could rate Carlotta at Piedmont Tours higher than five stars I would! We reached out to her months before our trip based on the reviews we read. We could not be happier that we did. Carlotta worked with us from the very beginning to learn about our preferences and our vision for our amazing trip to the Piedmont Region. After several conversations she crafted a perfect itinerary for us. She created a trip with just the right balance of activity level and pace as well as just the right combination of amazing lodging experiences. She kept us in the loop along the way, always asking additional questions for clarification of our vision. She offered experiences we had never considered. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, the people, the history, the food, and the culture and knew how to direct us to anything we needed or wanted. We opted to have her make all of our reservations which made our trip very comfortable and easy. We never had a worry. Everything was planned to perfection. She even assisted us in making dinner reservations as we got closer to the trip. The level of detail that went in to the planning before the trip was exceptional. If that wasn’t enough the assistance and support that she offered us after we arrived was beyond helpful. Carlotta was such a fun person to spend time with on various tours. She is a delight. I suspect she would blend in to any group. She certainly did with ours. We had to beg her to spend more time with us because she was just fun to be with, besides being so helpful. We loved our time with her. She was easy to reach and always very responsive. She continued to make calls for us, adjustments to transportation and to reservations, etc. until the day we left. She made our trip easy, stress-free and seamless. We could not have had a better trip to Piedmont and it is all attributed to Carlotta. We highly recommend her for your trip to Italy. We are already deciding where we should go next so that she can spend the whole time with us! Amber Wooten We had the most incredible tour as planned by Carlotta! She was so thoughtful throughout the planning process, for about six months before our vacation. Carlotta listened to the type of trip we wanted to have, then planned a beautiful and tailored itinerary that suited us to a tee. I said many times, “Wow, this really is perfect for us!” throughout the vacation. She also took care of reservations and helped us with many many last minute changes or questions the whole of our trip. In addition, Carlotta is just a lovely person - we had so much fun with her on the tours that she led. My favorite was the truffle hunt - Carlotta organized it for us and translated for the truffle hunter and also gave us a lot of insight into this component of Piedmontese culture and heritage. We loved the wineries she booked for us in Langhe and the accommodation was always ideal for our group. Thank you for the perfetto trip, Carlotta - we can’t wait to come back to Piedmonte and work with you again!! Samantha Asker Carlotta helped us plan our trip to the Piedmont region and delivered a seamless, wonderful tour. The wineries were specific tailored to our preferences. We would highly recommend booking with them and likely will again! Thomas Gegick highly recommended! Carlotta is very helpful and professional in organizing the trip. Friendly and knowing a lot about the Piedmont area. I had a pleasant time during my visiting. :) Catherine Wang My husband and I were planning a trip to Turin to visit the areas where my Great Grandparents originated. We found Piedmont Tours and Carlotta through Google and we cannot be happier. Carlotta was engaging, insightful, extremely helpful, and very responsive. Her English is excellent. Carlotta planned an amazing trip including wine tasting in Langhe, a walking tour of Turin, and a visit to the small towns that my great grandparents lived. Her knowledge of the area and planning was amazing and I know we would not have been able to have as good a trip without her. We absolutely loved her and we cannot recommend her more. Mark Arbelaez-Novak Thank you Carlotta for organizing our family cooking class. It was the highlight of an amazing trip to Piedmont! Randall Tennant
