Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Darya did a wonderful job handling our two week trip to Italy and Croatia for 5 people. She arranged all our private drivers and all arrived right on time. She booked us walking tours in Florence, Rome, Split and Dubrovnik. We had a complicated itinerary with lots of different hotels, people flying home at different times and unique visits to family home town. It was alot for me to keep track of and all went perfectly. I adjusted two driver pickup times while we were on the trip and she responded immediately which was so appreciated. She recommended restaurants that were special and a great Tuscany wine tasting. Thank you so much Darya for such a special trip!

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

Loved the wine tasting in Montalcino.....5 star property with beautiful intimate wine tasting and fantastic lunch. Loved all the private walking tours that allowed us to zip past the crowds. Highly recommend the Panorama Restaurant in Dubrovnik.....book months in advance! Loved both private boat tours in Croatia though Dubrovnik was our favorite. Definitely have the boat captain book your local restaurant when you board the boat as many of these small island restaurants fill up.

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

In Split, I'd book a private boat that had rafts and drinks on board as it makes the adventure that much more fun. We did a cheese tasting after our Castiglion del Bosco and I would probably skip that as we were so full! For our twenty year olds, I would have probably asked recommendations for club scene bars just so they had a focus as to where to go at night.
