Review: Italy Mother-Daughter Tour, Rome, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, Mask Making, Pasta Lesson

I would limit activities to one or two per day with a flexible cushion at start and end times to account for the unexpected, as always occurs when traveling, especially out of the country. 

I would like the travel company to provide a clear advance plan for emergencies like getting lost, needing a hospital, not being able to use the phone, not finding a place to eat dinner after a tiring day, etc. Perhaps a written guide with phone numbers, local directions, etc. 

Appreciate that hotels were fairly centrally located but would not like again rooms that look out on busy street corners. When you are jet-lagged, you value your sleep!

Daily life in Italy outside of the tourist spots: Would have liked to have had one of the central features of the trip which for me was supposed to have been spending time with someone in my same career. Similarly, would have liked my daughter to see what life is like for schoolchildren in Italy. We were sad to miss out on that but it was just too much by the last couple of days. 

Travel Company's Comment

Thank you for your feedback. I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay in Italy and happy with the overall service. I am so sorry that your daughter was lost.  We always suggest to stay close and do not split up or walk alone. It is a big city and it is easy to get lost when there are a lot of people around. We were always available 24/7 at our assistance phone number. As soon as you called, we sent our guide immediately to help you.  Regarding the hotels, if you want to be very central in Venice, you must deal with a bit of noise as all the hotels have few floors and the street are narrow.  We really appreciate your feedback and we will continue to improve our services for future travelers.
