“We knew from our initial meeting that Marnie would be the right person to plan our trip to Italy.
Marnie is funny and knowledgeable, and she asked all the right questions to get to know us. She curated an itinerary for our group of two couples, catering to our unique agendas, personalities, and quirks. Her meticulous organization eliminated the typical anxiety I’d have when planning my own trips. Before leaving, Marnie provided a binder with explicit instructions on where to be, what to bring, and all the tickets and reservations for each day. It was music to my OCD ears!
Italy’s public transportation system went on strike the day we were slated to take the train from Cortona to Rome and, without missing a beat, Marnie arranged a private driver to transport us. Knowing she was available for emergencies like that was such a weight off our shoulders. Her expert advice and extensive suggestions for our 16-day adventure (spanning five hundred miles, six stays, and numerous day trips to the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen!) were priceless, covering everything from local supermarkets to creative packing/laundry ideas to making reservations for us at some PHENOMENAL restaurants. We will continue to recommend Marnie and Amoria Journeys to anyone looking to visit Italy…she is perfetta in every way! Grazie Mille, Marnie!!

“Marnie planned the trip of a lifetime for my lifelong friend and me—to Florence and Cinque Terre—and it was truly beyond wonderful.
From private drivers to unforgettable boating and walking tours, exquisite dinners, and thoughtfully curated adventures, every detail was handled with care. Marnie stayed in touch throughout our journey, checking in and making adjustments as needed, which gave us such peace of mind. Her knowledge and expertise are unmatched. I’ve already recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so. If you're considering a trip to Italy, reach out to Marnie—you'll be so glad you did.”

“Marnie organized a late fall trip to Tuscany for a dear friend and me, and the trip could not have been better. Marnie found us wonderful hotels and delicious restaurants and planned a day-by-day itinerary that was detailed and action-packed. The local guides Marnie arranged showed us Florence and Tuscan villages from an Italian perspective, providing us with historical facts and fun and fascinating stories. She also arranged guided tours of the Uffizi and Accademia with a wonderful guide, whose knowledge of the arts is unsurpassed.
I would heartily recommend working with Marnie if you are considering a trip to Italy!”

“I went to Italy for the first time with a dear friend in November 2024 and Marnie planned our itinerary. We went to Florence and Tuscany. It was an amazing trip! Marnie arranged hotels, airport transfers, restaurant reservations, and museum and city guides—all were wonderful!
Marnie has the connections in Italy to ensure a fabulous trip, and I am so happy to have met her. I would fully endorse and recommend Marnie to plan any Italian trip for you. She is easy to work with and super detail-oriented.
Thank you Marnie for a lifetime of memories! I hope to work with you again soon and visit Italy again and again! Grazie Mille Marnie. You are the best!”

“We already had our travel ideas and accommodations, but Marnie added the ‘extra’ to make the entire trip so fun and memorable.
She helped us with private drivers and special excursions. We loved the private guided tour of Pompeii, finishing with a delicious lunch and wine tour at the base of Mt Vesuvius.
Other highlights included the day tour of the Amalfi Coast and a private boat tour around Capri...all were amazing! I would not hesitate to contact Marnie to help you plan your trip to Italy!!”
