LOVE FROM OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS:
“ABSOLUTELY THE MOST MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE.”
-Tina | Texas
“Words cannot adequately convey what an amazing experience we had on our trip with Imaginaria. Every little touch, every adventure, every bite of food and drink of wine was unforgettable. Our hosts were the most gracious people and had thought of everything we would need before we knew we needed it. There was a variety of activities, plenty of time on our own to explore and relax and a great mixture of food, wine, history, art, gardens, shopping and relaxing. We felt we experienced true Tuscany. I can't wait to go on the next adventure with them!”
-Kelly | Texas
"We were totally immersed in authentic Tuscany and it was truly beyond anything we could have imagined. Most of all, we fell in love with Louree and Nicco, who literally put their hearts and souls into making our experience pure magic! Their combination of gifts and talents are awe inspiring and they shared all they could with us and more than we imagined possible. They are the power couple, of hospitality, generosity of spirit and, of course, MAGIC."
-Kimberly & Dharmendra | Oregon
“Lourée & Nicco hosted every meal like an intimate wedding at a five star restaurant. So absolutely amazing!”
-Nicole | California
”Honestly, the mold was broken with these two. This is a couple that will wrap you up and take care of you better than a beloved family member! We didn't have to think about a thing all week. Louree and Nicco arranged every single detail with overflowing love in their hearts. Wherever they go, I will go and you should drop what you are doing right now and do the same. None of us are getting any younger and this life you are living is NOT a dress rehearsal so get out there!!!”
-Jayne | Colorado
"I was completely blown away by our week with Nicco & Louree. It was a trip of a lifetime & I will DEFINITELY be recommending them to all my clients, family & friends. If you really want to see what Tuscany is all about, this is the trip for you. From staying in a castle, to authentic cooking classes, cocktail classes, wine tasting daily & the endless time spent with new friends. They kept us on our toes with surprises everyday. I can't wait to go back & do another week with them. I would HIGHLY recommend Imaginaria Events if you want a true Tuscan experience!"
-Breena | California
"Just had the most enchanting experience with the Celestiale Tour by Imaginaria Events in Tuscany! The 7-day slow travel journey was a dream – staying in a charming chalet in a quaint Tuscan town, surrounded by rolling vineyards and olive groves. The intimate group setting provided a luxurious touch, making each moment feel personalized and special. The highlight was the immersive cooking classes where we learned the art of Tuscan cuisine, creating mouthwatering dishes with expert guidance. The wine tasting sessions were a delight, introducing us to the exquisite flavors of the region. Every day brought new culinary adventures, and the attention to detail by Imaginaria Events truly made it a trip of a lifetime. If you're a fan of slow travel, divine food, and unforgettable memories, the Celestiale Tour is an absolute must!"
-Sydney | California
"If you are looking for a travel experience that connects you with the destination on a deeper level, Celestiale by Imaginaria Events is it! We discovered each new Tuscan destination in detail, getting to know the in and outs of the people that live there, the culture, the history as well as seeing more than just the main attractions. We enjoyed the authenticity of every aspect of this tour and the genuine hospitality of our hosts Lourée and Nicco. Every day brought a new adventure from truffle hunting to pasta making , and wine tasting . We bonded with our travel mates and made life long friendships. during this unforgettable authentic experience!"
