The New York Times: Marjorie Shaw’s
service was a delight.
Jamie and Mike Ney: We’ve just
returned from the most wonderful three weeks that anyone
could hope
for. We felt we had a
guardian angel perched
on our shoulders. Your exquisite plans made our trip so memorable
there was nothing left for us to do but eat, drink and enjoy.
Each accommodation was delightful—and none would have been
found without you.
The Educated Traveler: The greatest thing about Marjorie
is that she spends a lot of time making sure her clients
get the
most out of their trips. Plus
she enjoys Italy passionately.
Tony and Marta Buzzelli: We would never have been able to
select the excellent lodgings but most importantly we would
not
have efficiently organized
our day trips the way you did for us. Everything was excellent
and worth every dollar we paid.
Palate and Spirit: Even if you say
that price is no object, they’ll steer you away from overpriced,
overrated
spots and towards wonderful experiences you might not find
on your own.
Shelley
Block: Your hard work was instrumental in creating the
very special experience we had hoped for. Both our rental
houses—in Tuscany and Umbria—were perfect, and you
obviously selected them with great care. Each of the hotels
also fit the
bill precisely. The locations you chose were varied but
all wonderful and the combination of them was ideal.
Phyllis Weaver: Marjorie, we are very satisfied. You provide
a service of exceptional value and we are grateful to have
learned
about you. Everyone spoke of you with the greatest of respect.
David and Renee Zallie: Insider’s Italy
provided my wife and me with a tremendously enjoyable honeymoon
in Italy. Having never gone to Italy before,
we now know just how important Insider’s Italy was to us.
Information we needed on hotels, restaurants, sites to
see, guides, transportation,
as well as the customs of the country, were there for us.
Jeff and Barbara Olund: The Plan
brought focus to what otherwise would have been a blur
of guidebooks and sights. The restaurant recommendations
were always fantastic.

Travel
Holiday: The
next best thing to having a hospitable aunt in Arezzo or in
Rimini or in Padua is knowing about Marjorie Shaw’s Insider’s
Italy.
Travel & Leisure: Marjorie Shaw’s
Insider’s Italy can help you plan a trip that meets both your
basic needs
and your loftiest
expectations.
David and Linda Roots: Marjorie arranged
our first trip to Italy in 1999 and it was, by far, the most
incredibly wonderful experience of our lives. That includes the
accommodations, daily trip planning, and many “Insider” tips
that led to some of the most memorable excursions imaginable.
This may sound like a paid announcement, but we would not have
retained Marjorie’s services just two years later for our next
trip had this not been the case. We have referred her to more
than half a dozen friends and plan to continue doing so for years
to come. She is a rare gem!
Eunie Denenberg: The hotels—which
were our highest priority—were sensational. You understood exactly
the feeling we wanted
and came through
perfectly.
Ron Newcome: Your service would be a bargain at twice the price.
You opened the kind of doors that I open in my part of the world
for only my very best friends. You gave us the trip of a lifetime.
Town & Country: Looking for the finest
linens in Florence or the sweetest biscotti in Siena? Talk to
Marjorie Shaw, whose
travel service, Insider’s
Italy, delivers what guidebooks and travel agencies won’t—or
can't. The firm’s custom-tailored itineraries omit nothing.
Elliott Livstone: There aren’t enough
superlatives in the English language to describe how much we
enjoyed our travels
and appreciated
your efforts.
The accommodations were spectacular and we coined the phrase
“A Marjorie Shaw View” to describe the knock-down view from
all of your personally selected hotel room windows.
David Westgor: The value of what you do is incalculable. This was the best
vacation of our lives.
Lee Levine: The icing on the cake, of course, is your own unique insight
into every nook and cranny of the country. From the best gelati
in Rome, to the most varied and interesting hike from Ravello
to Atrani, to your relationships with your art historians,
you enabled us to enjoy an experience that we could not duplicate
by consulting a room full of travel guidebooks. For all of
this, Marjorie, we are forever grateful to you.
Medical Economics: Shaw’s details...
were things I’ve never seen in any guidebook, the sort
of advice you might get from a friend if the friend
were very, very knowledgeable. The driving instructions alone
were proof of Shaw’s expertise: “Leave Radda to
the west, driving past the two gas stations, and 700 meters
after the
Agip station,
turn left at the sign indicating San Giusto...”
