Testimonials for T’s Italy Travel Consultation Service
(See below for Pilgrimage Testimonials)
My husband and I have used Teresa’s services for two different trips. One was with just the two of us in 2022. The second we brought along our 13 year old son in 2025. She did a fantastic job recommending hotels, restaurants, and activities that fit both situations. My husband and I wanted wine tasting and cooking classes while our son was interested in Ancient Rome. We greatly enjoyed everything we booked with Teresa’s recommendations. Even though we have been more than once, we will continue to work with Teresa for future trips.

Teresa saved our trip to Italy! Our family wanted to make a pilgrimage to Italy for Jubilee 2025, so we booked a flight but that is as far as it went. It was analysis paralysis looking all the hotels, tours, churches, restaurants. We booked a consult with Teresa and quite literally we had our hotels booked within 24 hours of our first call with Teresa. We completed the itinerary, booked all her recommended hotels, tours, guides, and restaurants over the coming days then confirmed everything on our second call with Teresa. We felt confident knowing we would be in places someone we trusted knew and loved. Teresa gave us golden nuggets of info on spots travelers would never know about on their own. Teresa truly saved our trip to Italy. I would recommend her a thousand times over to anyone! We cannot thank you enough Teresa. God bless you and your travel ministry. We will keep you in our prayers during our trip. Thanks a million!!

T’s Italy Fit Us to a “T”! With 2-3 day pre- and post-trip extensions planned in Italy in connection with a regular tour and pilgrimage, we were looking for ways to best use our time in the vicinity of Venice, Milan, and Rome. Teresa listened to our interests, considered what we would already be seeing on the scheduled tours, and provided us with insightful suggestions. In addition to great leads on private tours, hotels, and restaurants, she expanded our perspective by considering day trips and alternative locations nearby. But perhaps the most unique aspect of T’s Italy was the specialized knowledge she shared, for example through her “T’s Tips” and transportation connections, that will make our trip smoother. Her customized approach fit us, as they say, to a “T”!

We highly recommend T’s Italy. Thank you so much Teresa Tomeo for your amazing recommendation! We had a blessed vacation here in Italy; our first time. Ciao! — Brian & Lisa S.
Teresa Tomeo helped us with our Italy trip after our son’s wedding in Tuscany. She made great recommendations for places to visit in Bologna and in Venice where we stayed afterwards. Her knowledge of culinary delights along with Catholic insights helped on our trip in these two amazing cities. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Teresa and highly recommend her!

Had a fantastic time in Rome. We used Liz Lev for 3 tours (art trail, underground, Vatican), all were outstanding. All three ladies were extremely delightful and intelligent. We also did the food tour, which also was great…. We used your restaurant recommendations and that also worked out well. We were also fortunate to go to Mass and receive ashes on Ash Wednesday. Every night we started out at the American rooftop bar at the Hotel Forum. The temperature was basically 64 degrees and sunny every day.

You helped my husband David and I plan a trip to Italy in September of 2019. It was an experience of a lifetime. With your expertise, our trip was truly the most wonderful experience of our married life of 40 years. You even arranged for my husband and I to renew our wedding vows. Thank you for taking such an interest in us and suggesting things that truly personalized the trip to us. With your help I believe we were privileged to experience restaurants and the special nuances of Italy that we never could have on our own. Your expertise gave us the best trip possible. Thank you so much!
— David and Kellye B.
We truly appreciate your help and expertise when we planned our trip to Italy in 2022. Your T’s Italy coaching session was most helpful, especially the 45-page document you emailed us to help plan our trip! Your recommendations for hotels, restaurants, and sights to see were most helpful…and our tour guides were amazing…It was a remarkable and memorable trip, so much so we are planning another trip in 2024.
— Nancy B., OH
Dear Teresa, What can I say? Wow! Thank you so much for the beautiful travel summary! I am very glad I contacted you! All of the information is extremely helpful. I’m diving in and making decisions. When I have questions, I’ll schedule our next chat. Thank you again Teresa.
— T.K., Fairhope, AL
Our Italian trip of a lifetime was designed by Teresa through listening to us and applying her knowledge and love of Italy. The itinerary was easy and flexible…going beyond our expectations of what we wanted to experience. We will use Teresa again and again as we now LOVE Italy!
— Rick & Laurie G., Harbor Springs, MI
I am so glad I used Teresa Tomeo’s “T’s Italy” suggestions for our post Footprints of God Italy tour this past March. I took my sister to Lucca where our nonna, Alfredo was born 132 years ago. Since we only had 2 days to sight see, I asked Teresa for some practical advice in the short time frame. She was easy to converse with and then sent me multiple pages of suggestions inside and outside the city walls. We were extremely pleased with her services. Teresa was also a blast to travel with. She is knowledgeable about Italian culture, the Catholic Faith and has a keen sense of humor. I’m already saving for another trip!

Your consultation eased my logistic worries of bringing a large group and enhanced my excitement! I have been studying your 43 pages of personalized information and will soon be booking your wonderful suggestions!

We returned from Italy and I must express my deepest gratitude, it was an amazing grace-filled vacation/pilgrimage to Italy. We were so blessed in many facets as we journeyed through Assisi, San Giovanni and Rome with your guidance. By your suggestions, we had informative, friendly tours, excellent accommodations, and simply delicious meals. All of this courtesy of Teresa Tomeo’s consultation. May God richly bless you as you continue to give of yourself to His Church and His people. Thank you. If we are given the blessing to return to Italy one day, which we pray is in Our Lord’s Divine Plan, we will consult you again.

T’s Italy has been an incredible personalized experience. My husband and I have learned a tremendous amount in a short period of time. Between our telephone conversation with T, to the detailed and personalized information she provided to us within a couple of days of our call, we now have a wealth of knowledge to plan our trip. Knowing we can ask T questions along the way, is very comforting. No matter what questions we had during our conversation, T knew about every area we inquired about and was able to tell us a bit about each one. She followed up with detailed information on all these areas, as well as a tentative itinerary. We are really looking forward to this trip knowing we won’t be wasting time trying to figure out the best way to do things. It’s been a great experience so far.

“If you’re interested in going to the spectacular, delightful, delectable and historical country of Italy — don’t ask a boring person or one tied to a desk! Rather, consult with a wildly exciting person who can talk to you about this inimitable country because she loves every inch of the land and has explored it and enjoyed it with gusto. She knows the shopping and restaurants (oh my, did I mention the food!) On top of all of that, Italy is a thoroughly Catholic country with riches and saints and miracles and churches and art that other countries can only dream of. Ask a person who is devoutly Catholic and has researched, studied, prayed and touched the sacred throughout this stunning land. In other words, ASK TERESA!”
— Steve Ray
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul” wrote John Muir. Travel shouldn’t mean travail. Let Teresa Tomeo sweat the details so you can savor the richness that is Italy. For over two decades Teresa has shared her passion for Italy with millions of television, radio and podcast listeners. Now she turns that experience and love over to you. Let her imbue your trip with personal care, cultural depth, joyful humor and openness to Italy’s rich spiritual heritage. Travel with Teresa “in your pocket” and watch recreation become re-creation.”
— Al Kresta, President & CEO of Ave Maria Radio

— Dr. Ralph Martin, Michigan
“If Italy has a soul, then Teresa Tomeo embodies it. If you can’t be with her on a journey through this land of beauty and miracles, at least avail yourself of her guidance for the experience of a lifetime.”

Testimonials for Pilgrimages
We want to thank you both for such a great pilgrimage and vacation [2022 La Dolce Fede Pilgrimage]! We were looking through our Nativity pictures from Grecco. We both said we have not had a better experience in our life. We were prayed in to this trip for sure. Ask and you shall receive…As we looked through the pictures, Pat said he would do that trip all over again. We started saying how we loved Orvieto the best, then Assisi, then we said we just loved it all!…It’s all so peaceful. Everything was planned so well. I wouldn’t change a thing.
“Italian leather, culinary delights, deep Catholic insight, prayerful encounters, vineyards and coastlines, Teresa Tomeo knows all the Italian treasures! As a second-generation Italian and devoted Catholic, Teresa will take you on a trip of a lifetime. About three years back, I joined Teresa and 75 other lovely ladies on a pilgrimage to Assisi, Rome, Siena, Loreto, and Tuscany. Along the way, we were entertained by her hilarious Italian antidotes, inspired by her Catholic teachings, filled with boundless grace, and taken on many behind the scenes locations. A highlight for me included Mass at the grave of St. Peter below the Cathedral and a visit to St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s home away from home in Italy. With Teresa, you not only gain a very knowledgeable travel guide but a friend and beloved sister in Christ as well. If you’re hoping to go to Italy, then I say, “go with T!” Enjoy!”
— Karen S.
“I made my first visit to Italy on a pilgrimage in the Fall of 2018. It was wonderful thanks to Teresa Tomeo’s incredible knowledge of Italy’s cultural & spiritual landmarks. Her attention to detail in planning the trip provided us maximum time to explore and appreciate each stop along the way. I learned so much about famous and not so famous places & people from Teresa & the local guides she knows. For anyone considering a trip to Italy, I strongly recommend turning to Teresa for her expertise and infectious love for that amazing country.”
— Mary D., South Carolina
“I have had the pleasure of traveling with Teresa Tomeo on 5 different pilgrimages, 3 in her beloved Italy (or the Motherland as she likes to refer to it) and am soon to embark on a 6th pilgrimage. I love the way Teresa ties her faith and her love of the Catholic Church into the places we visit and offers a unique perspective on each destination she brings us to. In addition to her knowledge of the Catholic faith, Teresa is also well-traveled and knowledgeable about many aspects of travel in Italy. She has wonderful tips on the best restaurants and shopping but also is able to refer you to hidden gems that many tourists would overlook. I would highly recommend Teresa’s pilgrimages to any Catholic couples or Catholic women looking for an enriching faith experience!”
— Joyce M., Michigan
“Su and I have had the extraordinary privilege to travel with Teresa throughout Italy on two occasions. Her passion for Italy and it’s culture, beauty and, of course, the food and wine, is infectious. She will take you to those lesser known and even lesser traveled gems that you would not often hear about or even dream to visit. “T” we look forward to our next trip with you and Dominick. God bless!”
— Bill and Su M., Washington
“Teresa Tomeo is a fantastic tour host! I have been blessed to be on pilgrimage to Italy three times now! She loves the country, the culture, the food, the Catholic traditions that abound. . . and she loves the wine! Did I mention that she knows great places for shopping? If you have never been to Italy, Teresa is the most knowledgeable guide you could ever hope to find! Buon viaggio!”
— Suzanne H., Texas
