Italy Family Trip Review: Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice, Vatican City, Colosseum, Murano, Burano, Cooking Class, Private Tours

We would recommend having the walking history tour on the first day of each city so that you can better understand different historical areas and points of the city that you would want to return to later in the coming days. The tours would be less busy and more enjoyable if they were an hour or two earlier in the morning. The combination of food and history walking tours is always a highlight and we wish we would have done one of those in Venice as well since each area of Italy has its own rich food culture. We would also recommend providing a better breakdown of the cost of the trip, because the hotels were normal quality (nothing fancy), and we only had half-day tours at most locations, so in comparison to the cost we paid for other trips through Zicasso and what we got out of those trips, this one seemed quite expensive. There were also small touches like welcome gifts, check-ins throughout the trip, and suggestions for extra experiences from other tour companies that we used in the past that would have also been nice to have had from this company as well, as small details really go far to enhance the quality and experiences of the trip. Before the trip, we had some difficulties getting prompt responses from the company. We had multiple bad experiences at the last hotel in Venice (gave us a room that was already occupied, smelled strongly of smoke, had dirty glasses in the room, air conditioning that didn't work, and trouble with the front desk) and would not advise using that hotel again.
