Italy Travel Review: Rome, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, Tuscany Wine Tours, Colosseum, Vatican, Sistine Chapel

This travel agency did a great job in planning our vacation to Venice, Florence, and Rome.  This was our first trip overseas and they did a great job in communicating with us, everything we will need to do.  Our agents were always available for questions or just a quick email back answering any questions we had.  They sent our travel documents to us timely and discussed them over the phone to make sure we understood them and knew where we needed to be.  It was great to have someone meet us at the Venice airport to walk us to the boat and to the hotel to make sure we got checked in.  Also, the escort to the train station to make sure we got on the correct train to Florence was great.  The walking tours and gondola ride in Venice was great, the tours and museum trips in Florence were awesome, and the walking tour and Colleseum tour was spectacular.  We loved the trip to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, but I would recommend to break this up so you have enough time at both locations.  There is too much van time in this combined tour.  I wished we would have stayed a couple of days on the coast, but we'll be back for that.  The winery tour to Tuscany was a great day trip for some great wines and food.

The three hotels booked for us were fantastic and off the main tourist area which we were fine with.  My only suggestion would be to make sure you understand where your hotels will be and the amount of walking needed to get back to the hotel.  It didn't bother us but if you're older or don't like to walk you should let them know upfront that you'd like something closer to the city center.

The cities and the sites were great and our travel agency did an awesome job making this the best vacation we have ever had!
