Italy Travel Review: Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Murano, Burano, Chianti, Colosseum, Cooking Class, Winery Visit, Opera Concert

We really enjoyed each city and surrounding area, as they all had unique characteristics and charm. Attending an opening night at La Scala in Milan was spectacular. We had a great box from which to view The Marriage of Figaro.

Venice was unlike anything we had ever seen. The food tour and Grand Canal/Murano Burano trip were excellent, while the Florence cooking class and the trip to the Chianti wine area were a lot of fun. We visited a winery in Chianti and would highly recommend it. The property was beautiful and our tour finished with an outstanding four-course lunch and wine pairing.

Seeing the Colosseum and Vatican/St Peter's Basilica were bucket-list items, and we thoroughly enjoyed touring several museums and churches throughout our trip.
