Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We loved our trip to Italy that was designed by the tour company that they flawlessly executed. After a couple of Zoom calls to assess our interests and discuss some alternatives, we were excited by their itinerary and didn't change a thing. The tour company provided activities that we wouldn't have expected and loved them. The outbreak of Omicron delayed our decision and greatly heightened our concerns about being able to travel there and home again. As a result, we finalized our booking only about a week and a half before our expected departure. Regardless, the company improvised and found us great hotels and all the attractions were still available. The tour company eliminated all of the typical travel worries. We really just had to show up and they organized all the tours with wonderful guides. The best thing about the trip was that the drivers, tour guides, and excursion providers were wonderful and we learned so much.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The most memorable part of the trip was that we didn't need to worry about any of the countless details of organizing such a detailed and high activity trip to three cities. The second was the wonderful people that we met that showed us there great cities. A few unexpected surprises was that our kids loved all of the food tastings and lunches arranged by the company and especially the gelato and pizza making class. The Roman Colosseum, Vatican City and Pompeii didn't disappoint. Florence was a surprise hit with the whole family. It was a little less busy and easier to navigate on foot and we loved the Florentine steaks. Finally, we had to be in Venice to appreciate it.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We enjoyed Venice, but it happened to be colder and foggier while we were there. And it was at the end of the trip, so maybe we were a little stressed about passing COVID tests and getting home. Yet, we would have likely taken a day off of Venice and added it to Florence or Rome.
