WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“Thanks so much, and I repeat our call with you with this follow-up PDF rates as one of the most fruitful hours I’ve ever spent!”

- Barb Power / USA



“ I came across Cassandra as I finalized plans for my first trip to Italy. Listening to her podcast, Rediscover Italy, I heard transportation tips and wanted to learn more. Finding her website brought me to schedule a one-hour consultation meeting and so glad I did!

Cassandra is the perfect combination of personable, knowledgeable, and helpful! She reviewed my itinerary, confirmed all that was in good shape, gave tips on a few things that I didn’t realize and shared recommendations for local shops and restaurants that I may not have found on my own. When we had some time left at the end of the call, she helped me to begin to consider different itineraries for my next visit.

Next time, I would most definitely consult with Cassandra again. Grazie!”
