Italy Travel Agent Review: Luxury 10-Day Family Trip, Venice, Florence, Rome, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Boat Charter, Cooking Class

We wanted to go on a family trip to Italy this Summer to celebrate our 20th Anniversary, and had budgeted a significant amount of money to have a great trip ($35k-$40k). It was very important to us that we get our money's worth.  Hilary specializes in trips to Italy, and after speaking with her about our rough travel plans, we felt that she would help us make the most of the time and money we were spending.  She built us a fantastic itinerary that enabled us to see 4 major cities (Venice, Florence, Rome and Positano) in a way that we never felt rushed or bored.  We are a family with three teenagers who definitely didn't want to just browse museums.  Hilary supplied plenty of interactive fun activities (i.e. cooking class in Florence, large full day boat trip off the Amalfi coast, glass bottom kayaking with cave exploration, motor boat tour of Venice canals, food tour in Rome, etc.)  The accommodations she chose were fantastic as well -- all of the hotels were right in the middle of the places we wanted to explore.  The staff at the hotels Hilary picked were extremely hospitable and helpful with finding any transportation we needed.  Hilary was also able to find us private transport between cities in Italy -- the drivers were all friendly, punctual, and spoke English.  We really have no complaints -- the itinerary was very well thought through and flowed extremely well.
