Client Testimonials

Siobhan uses her deep knowledge of Italy, Italian culture and food, and Tuscany in particular to designs itineraries designed to delight and inspire her clients.

Yoga Retreat

In 2023 and 2024, she organized yoga retreats based at a beautiful villa 20 minutes outside of Siena. In addition to daily yoga practice, the group took day trips to Siena, Tuscan powerhouse and crayon inspiration, and Montalcino, home of the prized wine Brunello di Montalcino. Some guests elected to take an additional day trip to Pienza, a gem of Renaissance architecture and the home of delicious pecorino cheese.

She and the group wrapped up their time in Italy with a walking tour of Rome--taking in the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona--and a sumptuous dinner of classic Roman dishes like carbonara, bucatini, abbacchio, and some delicious, unidentified offal.

Friend-group Vacation

In September/October 2025, Siobhan organized a trip for a dear friend who wanted to celebrate his birthday in style in Italy. She curated a trip for them that included a stay at that same beautiful villa, trips to Siena, Montalcino, and Pienza. The group also explored Cinque Terre and Rome. The trip was an unforgettable time for this close-knit group of friends.

"I just wanted to thank you for such a fantastic trip to Italy. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the stunning villa to the thoughtfully planned itinerary. Every detail was seamless, and it truly felt like one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. The destinations, experiences, and care you put into the planning made it all unforgettable, and the guide was pretty amazing as well!!!

"Thank you again for creating such an amazing experience — it was pure perfection from start to finish!"

- Fran, Tuscany Friend-Group Vacation client, Fall 2025

"My Feeding Your Soul trip led by Siobhan...was assolutamente magnifico! Our time in Tuscany was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and every detail of our trip was planned with great attention to detail.

If you are looking to be exposed to Tuscan cuisine; view exquisite landscapes; see historic, artistic, and architectural highlights; and learn more about Italy's culture and customs, this trip checks all the boxes.

...

Siobhan is a seasoned traveler who speaks fluent Italian, so her tips (ranging from what to pack to where to find the best ricciarelli in Sienna) were spot on.

As a single person who wanted to travel by group, not worry about planning a full itinerary, and have an authentic experience, I was delighted that Feeding the Soul met all my expectations and then some. I plan to book another trip"
