Luxury Italy Family Birthday Vacation: Milan, Rome, Venice, Positano, Amalfi, Capri, Pisa, Pompeii, Modena, Ferrari Museum

Our travel company made our trip to Italy from Connecticut a once in a lifetime perfect experience--truly!  Our agent was very attentive to our requests and needs in every detail of the trip.  My husband and I travelled with our 11 year old daughter and everything was planned perfectly for our two week vacation. Transportation around Italy, train tickets, hotel accommodations, private guides and tours were all planned and booked in advance of our arrival in Italy.  Our agent provided a local mobile phone for our convenience and even had terrific restaurant choices for each place we visited.  We stayed in Milan, went to Rome, Positano, Florence, Venice, and back to Milan.  We made day trips to Pompeii, Almalfi, Ravello, Capri, Pisa and Maranello for a visit to Ferrari of course :-).  The itinerary was rather aggressive, but it was a once in a lifetime trip.  We still managed to have some down time while travelling on high speed trains, and some leisure afternoons for naps and wandering.  The pasta, pizza, gelato, cappuccino, wine and desserts were amazing.  Although we visited major touristy places, we generally ate dinner at local establishments to get a real taste of the Italian foods.  The guides that Daniela arranged for us were fantastic!  They spoke wonderful English and in general had a passion for their Italian heritage and their country.  We felt VERY well cared for by all.  My husband is NOT a traveler  and would only agree to go if the trip was planned by someone with a lot of experience.  He indicated that our agent deserved nothing less than FIVE stars for her efforts and her ability to make our itinerary as worry free as possible.  My daughter dreaded being stuck with her parents for 14 days instead of away on April break to a warm climate like her friends.  On the last day of the trip she "wished" we could stay for another week.  The next time we take a trip to Italy, we will concentrate on spending more time in fewer places.  We would highly recommend this agent to anyone planning a trip to Italy!
