Which Country (Countries) did you visit on this trip?

Italy

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My overall impression was that it was tremendous. We had a wonderful time. We totally appreciate the feeling of security, of not being let down! I knew help would be at hand if we had any problem.
Every driver and every guide was so helpful and kind. We appreciated each one. Thanks to all of them.

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

For myself personally, I was humbled to be in the Colosseum. So old, such history. I've always been intrigued ever since taking Latin in high school!
For the whole trip, to be in the presence of such antiquity was touching. We don't experience this in the U.S. of course, the exception being some Native American sites.
The cathedrals were just wonderful but of course, St. Peter's in Rome. Almost overwhelming. And the Sistine Chapel with the famous ceiling.
The sculpture of David in Florence. Just magnificent.

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

I would make sure to emphasize that we are mobility challenged. We were unable to do the Roman Forum as the guide indicated it would be "dangerous". This was my biggest disappointment. Otherwise, the guides were very accommodating, helpful, kind and slow going for us.
I chose to lop off a leisure day in Tuscany and I should have made that day in Siena rather than Montalcino. I wasn't paying attention when I said "cut the second leisure day". Oops.
We did use the last day/leisure day in Rome to catch a couple of sites by ourselves. The Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain. That was nice.
