Travel Review: Italy Tour, Rome, The Vatican, Pompeii, Uffizi Gallery, Food & Wine, Ferrari Tour, History, Art, 12-Day Trip

We give our highest recommendation to this travel company!  We began planning our trip to Italy during their busy season in June very late-- in April.  And, in addition to coordinating our trip in the busy season at a late date, we ended up adding one more to our group three weeks before our arrival!  Regardless of all of this, the travel company delivered a trip that exceeded our expectations.  Our family travelers ranged from 12 to 74 with interests as varied as food and wine, Ferraris, history and art.  We desperately needed advice to accommodate all interests and activity levels. Our travel specialists took time to learn what was most important to us and devised a plan to balance structured activities that were private with planned outings with small groups.  She connected us with knowledgeable drivers and guides: an art historian to guide us through the Uffizi, an archaeologist that works to excavate the site at Pompeii who showed us and explained recently unearthed areas, and an expert in Rome who ushered us through the Vatican museums with insider connections.  What we learned from our expert guides and our knowledgeable drivers made this trip an epic adventure!  We cannot recommend the travel company and our travel specialist highly enough: we had the trip of a lifetime.
