School Counselor & Mother of Three

"I first came to Jose and Tour Architex with a simple idea: take my daughters to Italy. With a tight timeline and no experience planning a trip like this, I was looking for help. What I received was so much more than a travel plan—you created a vacation that is a lifetime memory. My daughter's decade-long dream to visit Italy came true, and the whole experience was completely flawless. As a single mother traveling abroad with three children, I had anxiety and fear about how I would manage in a foreign country. However, from the minute we got off the plane and met Luigi (Jose's local guide), I felt an incredible sense of safety and relief. Every detail was meticulously planned, from picking us up, to dropping us off, to knowing that you would always be there to guide us through the experience. Waking up in Rome and having a local nonna (grandmother) bring us croissants and coffee, speaking to us in Italian—these were the small, authentic moments you built into our trip. The places we stayed in Sorrento, Rome, and along the Amalfi Coast were phenomenal, situated right next to the heart of each city. You allowed us to fully experience the beauty of Italy and created a core memory for my children and me. I will forever be grateful to Jose and Tour Architex. You have literally made my dreams come true, and you've made my children's dreams come true. I look forward to developing a long travel relationship with you, both for future family trips and for my own adventures as a woman."
