Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with our travel specialist from the company for our 2 week honeymoon to Italy. Based on our initial conversation with our travel specialist, she understood that we were looking for a nice mix of activities and cultural immersion. We greatly appreciated her suggestions based on our interests and location. She made sure we were able to get the best experience with every tour/activity, even changing a tour date when she discovered that the market would be closed on the day we were originally set to do a city tour. All the instructions were very detailed so we didn't have to worry about logistics and were able to simply focus on enjoying our trip. From bustling cities to medieval towers, we have so many great and amazing memories thanks to the trip the company tailored for us. I would highly recommend for the price of convenience.

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

Venice: We enjoyed the tours of the various islands and the walking tour of Venice was very informative. The Jewish Quarter Food Tour was both informative and delicious.
Florence: Our tour guide was excellent at providing tips for great local places for views, drinks, and food. We went to quite a few of her suggestions and had a wonderful time simply exploring the city.
Tuscany: Gorgeous part of the country. We loved the Steakhouse in Chianti! Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, and we didn't even realize it was popularized on a Netflix show (Chef's Table)!
Rome was our favorite location, as it was an incredible place to explore. We enjoyed having the mix of activities as it gave us a wonderful exposure to how vibrant Rome is. From a current city tour to a historical tour - Colosseum to food tour (Trastevere food tour was our favorite activity throughout the whole trip). We also loved the hotel next to the Spanish Steps as it was very convenient for us to walk anywhere.

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

1. Venice: Perhaps we should have done a bit more research, but we could have done with a shorter stay as it isn't very large (perhaps 2 nights would have been fine).
2. Florence: The panoramic drive aspect of the private handcraft and art tour was great for photo opportunities, but we weren't thrilled when one of the art vendors was pushing incredibly hard for us to buy an art piece. It left a poor impression since we felt a good amount of unwanted pressure.
3. Tuscany/San Gimignano: The only qualm was that we had the same wine tasting/meal 2 times (for the truffle hunting lunch as well as the Tuscan dinner at the Winery). Perhaps the Candlelight dinner would have been more enjoyable if it were at a different location or at least with different foods.
