Italy Luxury Family Trip Review: Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast, Cooking Class, Food Tour, 10-Day Travel

10 days, 5+ Italian cities, 16 people…what could go wrong? Can you believe nothing did?
Daniela at the travel agency developed an amazing itinerary for us. It was creative, authentic, efficient and balanced.
Daniela created a final itinerary that was well-thought through, designed, organized and executed! Not only were my requests incorporated in the plan, Daniela also elaborated on my initial ideas and anticipated our needs. The result was a perfect trip that we felt was exactly what we wanted. She’s a pro!
Our family group of 16 people included my parents in their 80s, my brothers and partners in our 50s, plus our 8 teens. We presented with a tall order - to visit Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast in 10 days while not feeling too rushed. We asked for authentic/historical and educational experiences (hotels, restaurants, tours and activities) that would accommodate our wide range of interests/abilities. We wanted to see just few major sights so that my parents would not get too hot or tired and the kids wouldn’t get too bored. We also requested fun and varied activities to keep our teens engaged.
Our time was extremely well-managed; the itinerary was efficient. The unique, centrally-located hotels were well-chosen and air-conditioned. Also, our activities were balanced with much-needed downtime, which was often planned for mid-day during the peak of the heat…perfect!
Daniela organized skip the line tours at Doge’s palace in Venice, David in Florence, Vatican, colosseum & Pompeii. Most importantly, Daniela incorporated a variety of super fun activities that the teens (and all of us) enjoyed:
- Venice gondola ride.
- Murano and Burano boat tour with glass blowing demonstration.
- Florence biking tour.
- Florence food tour.
- High speed train ride to Rome.
- Rome Vespa/Tuk Tuk tour.
- Rome pizza-making class.
- Mt. Vesuvius wine tasting and lunch.
- Sorrento/Amalfi Coast all-day boat ride w/swimming.
All was awesome!
When transferring to a new city, our luggage was sent in advance which was very helpful. Transportation by nice sprinter vans was always professional and on-time.
We also liked using an app to access our daily itinerary.
A team member, in customer service, arranged all of our dinner reservations. All of the restaurants were good, authentic & ready to receive us. For last minute issues and changes, she was quickly responsive in communication on What’s app.
GRAZIE Daniela & team!
