travel to Rome

I cannot recommend Alicia enough. As a first-time solo traveller heading to Italy, I honestly didn’t know where to begin, but she made the entire experience feel effortless from start to finish.
She curated the perfect itinerary tailored exactly to the kind of trip I wanted and recommended some of the most incredible places to stay — including Chapter Roma, which ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Booking through Alicia also came with amazing hotel perks and added touches that truly elevated the experience and made me feel taken care of throughout my travels.
What stood out most was how responsive and attentive she was. Anytime I had a question, needed help, or wanted to adjust something, she replied quickly and always accommodated me as best she could. As someone travelling solo for the first time, having that level of support and reassurance made such a difference and gave me so much peace of mind.
Everything felt thoughtfully planned, seamless, and personalized. From hotel recommendations to itinerary suggestions, every detail contributed to making my first solo Italy trip unforgettable.
If you’re looking for expert travel advice while still feeling like you’re planning a trip with a friend who genuinely cares about your experience, Alicia is absolutely your go-to. She brings the perfect balance of professionalism, knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail.
I highly recommend booking with Alicia — she made my first solo Italy experience absolutely unforgettable, and after travelling with her guided expertise, I genuinely can’t imagine planning another trip any other way!

We had the most incredible experience planning our Paris trip with Corso Viaggio, and especially with Alicia, who truly went above and beyond for us. Every detail of our itinerary felt thoughtfully curated and perfectly aligned with our style and vision for the trip.
From the beautiful boutique hotel selection to the amazing restaurant recommendations, sightseeing suggestions, and even choosing the perfect arrondissement to stay in everything was seamless, elevated, and unforgettable. It honestly allowed us to experience Paris in such an intentional and luxurious way without the stress of planning.
Alicia made the entire experience feel personal, effortless, and so well tailored to us. We are beyond grateful and would recommend Corso Viaggio / Fora to anyone looking for a truly special travel experience. Five stars without hesitation.

Alicia's passion, dedication and professionalism for is unmatched. She planned our 20th anniversary vacation to Greece and exceeded my expectations in every way. She went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was smooth and organized, all while picking hotels and experiences that blew us away. She understood the type of vacation we were looking for and planned our itinerary perfectly. Alicia even went out of her way to support us in finding flights back home to Canada when our airline went on strike. Our vacation was perfect and memorable because of her. I will definitely be hiring Alicia again for all of my future travels!!

A New Gold Standard in Toronto
When I first heard that Fairmont Gold was coming to one of my favorite downtown Toronto hotels, I knew I had to experience it for myself.
What I didn't expect was how high the standard would be set — the renovations that took place at the hotel to shell out this boutique hotel experience are unexplainable and truly must be experienced in person.
From the separate luxury check-in at the lounge to the spaciously appointed all-suite selection, this was a next-level experience.

An Insider’s Guide to Canada’s Secret Gem: Newfoundland
Newfoundland holds a special place in my heart for several reasons. Firstly, it was a deeply spiritual journey to explore the most northeastern part of Canada, where the rugged coastline meets the Atlantic Ocean in a breathtaking display of nature's beauty. The tranquility and sense of being at the edge of the world left a lasting impression on me.
Secondly, the people of Newfoundland are truly remarkable. Their warmth, generosity and unique sense of hospitality create an atmosphere that feels like coming home, even as a visitor. Whether sharing stories in a local pub or receiving a heartfelt welcome at a small bed and breakfast, the genuine kindness of the Newfoundlanders resonates deeply.
And then there’s the food and live music — truly unforgettable. From freshly caught seafood to hearty traditional dishes, every meal was a celebration of local flavors and culinary heritage. The evenings filled with live music, often featuring fiddles and accordions, added to the island’s charm and made every night an occasion to remember.
In Newfoundland, I found not just a destination, but a place where nature, culture and community converge to create an experience that is both enriching and unforgettable.
