Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

My wife and I were extremely happy with our vacation to Italy which was arranged by this travel agency. Everything was delivered as promised with very little stress so we were able to simply arrive and enjoy our trip. It was our first time to Italy so we relied on this travel agency experience to provide an itinerary that would help us get to see as much as possible, and they delivered expertly !! We were met by drivers and guides, made all transfers and scheduled events, and everything went smoothly.

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

We had many memorable moments on our trip... All of our drivers and guides were very friendly and attentive. We had multiple private tours (7 tours in 5 cities) over the two weeks we were in Italy, and every single guide was outstanding. They were knowledgeable, explained everything well, and took time to customize things to fit our interests. All of their recommendations for things to see and do during our free time were also spot on. It was also nice to not be a part of the "typical" touristy groups, and to instead be able to venture off on independent sights at the more popular attractions.

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

While touring the local attractions was well worth it, I would recommend NOT doing the group tours. We had 7 awesome private tours, and then also took "small group" tours of Pompeii, and Tuscany/Chianti wine region. "Small" groups turned out to be groups of 21 and 24 respectively and were a little disappointing. In groups like that you don't really get to experience things like you should, and we felt a little rushed.

We also took a small group "Food Tour of Florence" which had only 9 people (my idea of "small" group) and was absolutely excellent !

Please don't take this to mean that the tours were "bad", just not my thing. I highly recommend spending a little more money on a private guide and getting the experience you deserve...
