Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We have been working with this travel company on our trip to Italy since before the pandemic started. We had to cancel 3 times and finally made what turned out to be a wonderful trip of a lifetime.
Working with Eleonora and Elena at our travel agency has been a pleasure, they helped us through the planning phase making suggestions and working with our thoughts to create the perfect schedule, taking in Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento, Capri and Rome. As the pandemic ended they advised us on the best time to travel ensuring that all of the things we wanted to see would actually be open and available.
During our trip, we did have some issues, including a guide taken ill and heavy storms in Sorrento but the team at our travel company were always available and were able to reschedule a new guide and provide options for us.
I would totally recommend this travel team and are very likely to use them again for Italian travel in the future.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Every part of the trip was outstanding, but the most important thing was the quality of the guides and tours that we had in all of the cities. The private guides in Venice, Florence and Rome were truly knowledgeable and we learned so much about the cities. The group tours were excellent.
The hotels were also great, especially the hotel in Venice and the hotel in Sorrento. The one in Venice probably being the highlight, with breakfast and dinner served overlooking the Grand Canal.
From a guided tour standpoint, the tour of the Doge's palace in Venice and the tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel were definitely highlights. But the best two days were the day trip to Tuscany the Cooking Class at the winery which was a wonderful day. Also the day trip to Capri riding the chairlift to the top of Mount Solaro

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I think that our trip was absolutely perfect, the only change I would make is to maybe go a couple of weeks earlier to improve our chances of getting better weather in Sorrento. Due to the bad weather the sea was too rough for small boats so our boat trip along the Amalfi coast and around Capri were cancelled.
I would also in hindsight move our base from Sorrento to Salerno - the traffic around Sorrento was terrible and from everything that I have read Salerno is a lot easier.
