The Development GuyKaty is the bestListening to Untold Italy has been such a joy since the beginning of the pandemic when we had to postpone our trip to Italy. Katy’s podcast gave us a connection to the ongoing troubles our Italian friends were going through while we experienced our own problems here in the US. Katy gave us hope that we would return and we have done so twice since then and are planning our next trip there in 2026. She has shared so much knowledge and incite and can’t thank you enough for the joy we experienced visiting the places you and your team have presented over the years. Keep up the great work.

Tina PryorAmazing PodcastI have been listening to this podcast since we started planning our Italy trip 5 months ago. I have learned so much about Italy in general and especially traveling to Italy. Not only is there great information on here, it is told in such a fun and interesting way! I almost feel like Katy is a friend now! Even if you aren’t traveling there, it’s a wonderful listen! Thanks Untold Italy! Also, the Untold Italy Travel Planning Facebook page has been very informative too! If you all haven’t downloaded the untold Italy app you need to! It is an amazing tool! Ive learned so much from it and I thought I was pretty knowledgeable before!

Natalie9509My go-to travel podcastI recommend Untold Italy to anyone that shares they are planning a trip to Italy. I used many tips from the Hidden Gems of Venice episode and all were fabulous and excited when I mentioned the podcast. Thank you for creating a community of thoughtful travelers and amazing resources. Grazie Mille!

@MBTSInvaluable infoI’ve been listening to episodes of this podcast as they apply to a trip to Florence, Umbria and Liguria. Such great information and tips from such knowledgeable and entertaining local guests. I especially like that I can go to the website and bookmark the show notes so I don’t have to frantically take notes while I am listening. The show notes also provide links to things mentioned in the podcasts as well as lists of foods discussed, etc. I highly recommend this podcast and the Untold Italy website. Ps. On the website, you can also download a guide to the more than 250 podcast episodes to help you focus on your interests.

KJo1976Valued Podcast!I have used many ideas from this podcast on multiple trips to Italy and have never been steered wrong. Always worth it. The food tours Katy recommends are wonderful.

Les6788A life saver!I honestly would not have been able to plan our trip to Italy without this podcast! This podcast is an invaluable resource when planning your trip. Thank you Katy!!!

RachmikeWith this podcast, you can plan your own trip to Italy!I’ve traveled a lot in my life but haven’t been overseas for a long time. I was nervous to plan a trip by myself to Italy, a country to which I’ve never been, but couldn’t find a travel agent I trusted at the start of my planning phase. Then I found this podcast and the Italy Travel Planning Facebook group! What a wealth of info in both! I jumped into the podcast episodes and have been planning for a few months now. With all the info in the podcast and FB group, I’m very confident I’m not missing out on anything that I want to do and that I’ve created the best plan and booked the best activities possible! Thank you Katy and Untold Italy!

ChachacitaA must if you’re planning a tripThis was invaluable in my trip planning. We went last year and I still listen as I know while it was my 1st trip to Italy it won’t be my last!

Pip0687You come to prepare for a trip, but you will never leave!Today marks 1 year since I landed in Milan and, ironically, today is the day that I have officially caught up on listening to all 243 episodes of the Untold Italy Podcast! I began listening to this podcast some time prior to my trip, picking out all of the episodes that discussed areas I was interested in, or already planning to visit. The Untold Italy pod as well as the website was an invaluable resource for planning my trip! I listened to several episodes multiple times and referenced the super detailed and helpful show notes! I continued to listen even after my trip, because like a lot of people who visit Italy, I can’t get enough, and wanted to continue visiting if only in my imagination. This show is outstanding with its content quality, content diversity, and the guests are top notch professionals! You can’t go wrong getting your travel tips and inspiration from Katy and her team!

Women’s Health Must HaveThe MOST helpful Italy ResourceHelpful, fun, and descriptive for this first time Italy traveler. THANK YOU to Katy for this wonderful resource!

like satieStop giggling!The host keeps giggling and it’s distracting. Avoid hyperbole in descriptions. The facts will speak for themselves.

Traveling ZiaGrazie Mille Katy!Ah Nasim! I can’t wait to tour with you in November. Just listened to the Roman Pizza episode. Yum! This is the best travel podcast I’ve ever listened to. Katy and her friends (ok, travel experts, but they are clearly friends, too) give practical and fun suggestions for all the regions of italy. As I listen, each region becomes my new favorite and goes on my “must visit” list. I’m obsessed with this website and with planning trips to Italy. I will need to plan two months in italy every year for the rest of my life to see everything! Grazi mille Katy!

Momma LavLove this podcast!I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. I have gained much insight by listening to many of the episodes as I plan our trip to Italy. Katy has a delightful accent, too. I did utilize Katy’s services for a one hour trip planning consultation which was extremely worthwhile. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and the advice I have received from her numerous podcasts have been worth the weight in gold. Thank you Katy and her team!
-
Sephiseattle5 stars!Highly recommend! I discovered this pod last spring when I was planning a family trip in July ‘23 to Italy. Each episode is packed with great tips and inspiration and the show notes are so helpful. Even though my trip has passed, I continue to listen each week. Thank you, Katy and team!
-
LindaFridaySuper helpful!I just returned from a 10 day trip to Italy. It was my first time there. It was absolutely amazing and a long time dream come true. I listened to many many episodes of the show before going, and it was extremely beneficial for me. The advice from this podcast helped me avoid problems and have a better experience than I would have had otherwise. Thank you to the entire Untold Italy podcast team! You are providing a service that helps not only tourists but also the people who serve those tourists in Italy. I loved Italy so much — I’m sure I’ll be going back. Your help was invaluable!

jfuebowFun way to learn about Italy for travelGetting ready for trip to Italy and I’m so glad I found Untold Italy.

Stacy1259Info is great but the car sounds are SO distracting!Really wanted to love this but I found the car revving and signal sounds to be really odd, loud and distracting.
-
Sandman 1211Angelo, LivToursSo informative! Angelo was wonderful. Will be in Rome before our Tuscany Wellness Wine Tour, and then back in Rome after. Will definitely do some LivTours. Start researching it now. Thank you, Katy.

MerdemeoWonderfully Detailed ResourceWe are kickstarting our research for an upcoming family trip to Italy (our first with the kids and post COVID) and this is a wonderful resource!! It is detailed, entertaining, and Katy finds the perfect guests to join her on topics. Her show notes are impeccable, you can always find a link or a name of a restaurant if it’s mentioned. Just a fantastic resource!! If you’re planning a trip, do yourself a favor and review her library and download several episodes. You will become a much more savvy traveler. Well done Untold Italy team!

JillFSUMy Favorite Travel PodcastI have been listening to Untold Italy for the last year or so and started from the very first episode. Every single episode is filled with so much helpful information and keeps me busy adding all of the recommendations to my travel wish list. We are planning a trip to Italy in 2025 and will continue listening to gather many more tips from Katie. Well done on a truly enjoyable podcast. 👏🏻

anna grace bSound advice, wide range of information, & so helpful!This has been so fun to listen to & learn from as I prepare for my first trip to Italy! Their online resources are great as well. Anyone planning a trip to Italy should tune in.

Ron0824UmbriaYour podcast is so interesting and love listening! I feel like I get to be in Italy every time I listen. My ancestors are from Umbria so it was so nice to hear about this region. It isn’t the most popular which makes it more interesting to hear about. There is also a town in Umbria called Deruta which is famous for Italian ceramics!
-
Puffin2023Love this podcast!Such a wonderful way to escape to Italy and get excited about planning a trip. Truly the best!
-
kat.hakimIL MIGLIORE!Yes, this is simply the best resource for English speaking travelers visiting Italy. Katy shares her invaluable experiences and tips, and often interviews brilliant guests, who can only be described as Cicerone. It’s been a pleasure to listen to Untold Italy and see the team grow to offer their own small group tours. Just don’t be shocked if the episodes lead you to your life changing, dream trip to Italy.
-
fred225(Great podcastGreat podcast. Very informative and timely. I look forward to every episode!
-
IlovebroadwayOhioMy heart longs for ItalyEvery time I listen to an episode I have a new place in Italy that I have to experience. Katy collaborates with local Italians who have the inside information on the best experiences and how to really enjoy authentic Italy.
-
Airborne Spoon 82ndGreat PodcastA podcast that’s not too “ informational” but very informative. There’s more than enough information to give you a good lay of the land and to peak your interest. The ladies speak from great experience and with enthusiasm. I love the mix of information and casual speak.
-
Susan L CAyour go-to guide for unique experiencesIf you are looking to explore Italy, and not just the major cities, then join Katy and her guests on a wonderful journey exploring the entire country. I’ve enjoyed some great restaurant and agroturismo recommendations as well as some great tour guides. As a frequent visitor to Italy, there is something to be said for ignoring the “google maps” hot spots and finding your own piece of la dolce vita. Grazie to Katy and her amazing team.
-
Densy from Miamigrateful for this showI just wanted to express my deep gratitude for all the information shared in this podcast. I recently came back from a beat trip in the Liguria region and Inwas fortunate enough to obtain great tips from 3 episodes dedicated to the area. Thanks again!
-
Eddie PanicKeep ‘em coming!This is one of my favorite pods. Katy’s a great host and presents so much information on her own, but then you add the guests and BOOM! You’ve got a five-star Podcast. I used info last year for our trip to Modena and Rome, and felt ahead of the curve. My wife thought I was a Travel Genius. Others who saw my pictures think the same. So with another year of knowledge gained.. our next trip will be even better! Grazie Mille

bpsandispecial side treks!Love the personal introduction to farms, groves, presses, and out of the way experiences!
-
Lewlewx2Loving every episode!!Accidentally came across your podcast, as I was searching for fun, informative, valuable information to complement our upcoming ( first) trip to Italy. Found your podcast and now I am totally addicted! Love the vast variety of topics, as well as the enthusiastic, energetic, and often humorous, yet quite honest manner in which they are presented. You have become my new best “”daily walk” buddy…. And with every word, I feel more educated, comfortable, and enthusiastic about our exciting adventure in September! Thank you!!
-
crissa84Amazing podcast to prep for trip to Italy!We are going to Rome, Naples, Florence, and Venice in September/October this year and I stumbled on your podcast a couple of months ago in my research and have listened to atleast 40 episodes (some multiple times). I’ll likely listen to a bunch again with my notepad to take notes! This podcast has been invaluable in my planning!
-
MagicMango28This podcast is a lifesaver!Im going to Italy VERY soon and I don’t know much!! I had recently done a poster about Italy so I know a little bit , But this podcast helped a lot! Sometimes it would just jump right into the scenario instead of doing an introduction I feel like but overall It really helped on what decisions to make and where to go , what to eat , and all that stuff!! It was a little fast but I’m parts they would go slower . But this podcast is helping me a ton! This podcast would get a little bit confusing in some parts but I would recommend this podcast if you GOING to italy , if you want to KNOW about italy , or if you just are LISTENING to a podcast for fun!! Now I know about the untold italy.
-
Esme08Take notes!I listened to just two episodes so far and had to stop and take notes! Very good info even after a few trips to Italy!
-
SonomarinaFriendly, informative, indispensable!I’m an experienced international traveler so I love the enthusiastic, factual approach this host offers. Details on logistics, in-country travel, itinerary planning, cultural sensitivity, and hidden gems from a truly experienced lover of Italy.
-
Tae BhgSerious InformationI love this pod cast it is very detailed, friendly and and a whole lot of enthusiasm for the love of Italy.
-
AuntieBababaGood info about off the beaten path ItalyThe variety of topics and the good content keep me coming back. Good interviews with numerous Italy experts. Good advice from the host. It is sometimes hard to get through an episode due to the host’s speech pattern. Lots of high pitched giggling, especially when a second person is part of the presentation. It may be an issue of nerves, but it is very distracting and knocks down the value of the content. Some presentation skills training helped me many years ago.

VintageLovinLadyDiThe Absolute BEST Podcast for Everything Italia!I am so happy I found the Untold Italy podcast! It is the best for reminiscing about past trips to Italy, planning upcoming trips to Italy, and dreaming of future trips to Italy! I have loved listening while planning our upcoming trip. So many amazing tips and guests. Thank you for introducing me to Corinna Cooke and her Glam Italia books where I’m learning even more travel tips! Katy and Josie are the best! Grazie Mille! Ciao! 🇮🇹

kristen smartVery HelpfulThis is a very entertaining and informative podcast! I love all the topics and places Katy shares! Great guests also.

SachiMerrillMy favorite comfort listenMy great-grandmother was from Calabria and I wanted to learn more, and stumbled upon this podcast and now I turn on this podcast when I do dishes and quilt and dream of Italy. This podcast also introduced me to Vicky Bennison’s work and now I’m an avid Pasta Grannies fan. I revered my Japanese grandmother and helped her make sushi and gyoza and Vicky’s work to treasure this knowledge and these amazing women is invaluable. Thank you, Katy, for your oodles of accessible information and your beautiful, positive, pragmatic attitude. When I go to Italy someday, it will be in large part thanks to what I’m learning from your podcast.

HisclayjarPlanned Whole Trip Thanks to Untold ItalyI planned an entire trip to Italy on 2 1/2 weeks notice after our other travel plans fell through. I found Untold Italy’s podcast and website, and used them to plan the entire trip! Just returned home and everything was superb. Hotels, restaurants, trains, arrivals, language, customs … we handled all with confidence thanks to Untold Italy. I highly recommend this excellent resource to anyone traveling to Italy. It’s my favorite country—you should go!
-

HdcyjSo informative and easy to listen toI stumbled upon this podcast as we were getting ready for a family trip to Italy. I listened to a lot of episodes before hand which all were very informative and helpful to better prepare us for our time in Italy. I fell in love with Italy and now I listen to learn more and dream of our next trip!
-
TzcatzExcellent (and fun!) resource for Italy travelGreat resource to learn tips and tricks where you’re going, find other places to go, learn about unique experiences to be had, and much more. They really dig into details about each area. In fact, I reached out to home-schooling friends and suggested the podcast as a neat Geography resource for their kids!
-
HapyHapyJoyJoyFantastic!My husband and I are planning our first trip to Italy in September 2023. I initially felt very insecure and overwhelmed with putting together an itinerary. Then I stumbled upon podcast… It is exceptionally informative as well as entertaining. The host(s) and guests provide insightful, relevant advice. Now feeling super confident and prepared as we count down the days to a vacation of a lifetime. 🇮🇹
