Luxury Anniversary Vacation Review: Rome, Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Bellagio, Verona, Pienza, Montalcino, Capri, Siena, Positano

We stayed 2-3 nights in each of the following cities; Venice, Bellagio, Florence, Rome, Positano and Capri. Our Agent arranged private tours and transfers in each city and we were always greeted on time and with a smile. Not only were the transfers from Venice to Bellagio and Florence to Rome convenient, but they also allowed us to stop at various places of interests along the way. We would have not otherwise been able to see Verona, Montalcino, Sienna or Pienza, and all the wine tastings and lunches that were arranged for us were far more than expected.

All our guides were great, but the young man in Tuscany was an absolute pleasure. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his natural demeanor made us feel right at home. He went out of his way to help us create a more local experience by giving us recommendations on where to buy leather goods, what to look for on menus, and places to grab a drink and enjoy the view. 

The service at the hotel in Positano was exceptional, but I would go back just for the breakfast.

We weren't planning on going to any Michelin stared restaurants in Italy because delicious food is so easy to find at the little trattorias. Our Agent recommended Don Alfonso and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was an exceptional experience, and I plan to do the cooking class there next time I am in Positano.

We had taken a private boat tour when we were in Capri 5 years ago. The hotel set it up for us and we remember enjoying it so when our agent recommended it we happily agreed. We paid 200 Euro for the tour the hotel set up for us five years ago and it lasted maybe two hours. We paid 300 Euro for the tour our agent set up for us this trip and we were on the water for over six ours. Our guide happily let us stop and swim every chance there was.
