Italy Family Travel Review: Rome, Puglia, Matera, Ostuni, Bari, Monopoli, Pasta Cooking Class, Sea Caves, History, Culture

Our family had the most amazing trip to Italy and we can’t thank Fiorella and Franca from our travel agency enough for putting together such a thoughtful itinerary. It was not easy planning a trip for our family. My husband and I wanted to visit Italy with our two teenager girls, my dad and his girlfriend. Finding something that worked for 3 different age groups was challenging. Given that it was our first International trip as a family, we really didn’t know where to begin. However, working with you all at this travel company made it so easy. The recommendation to fly into Rome, spend a few days there and then travel to Puglia was brilliant. Our tour guides and drivers were exceptional. Our guide showed us a side of Rome that we would never have experienced on our own. His enthusiasm for culture and history was contagious. In Puglia, it felt like every day we explored a new area of the region. Exploring the the sea caves by boat and visiting the Pugliese Kitchen, where we made fresh pasta was one of the highlights of our trip. Our visits to Matera, Ostuni, and Bari were absolutely amazing. We truly appreciated having our driver with us each day to not only drive us around but also to help us connect with tour guides who knew the area really well. These well planned excursions allowed us to experience the history, culture and food of Southern Italy in such a meaningful way. Lastly, our hotel in Monopoli was perfect. It was right on the square and we could find good food, quaint shops in every direction. Our visit to Italy was incredible from start to finish. I have already told all my family and friends that they must use you if they visit Italy.
