Travel Review: Italy Vacation, Rome, Florence, Venice, Siena, Pompeii, Vatican & Colosseum Tours, Gallery of the Tapestries

Oh, the Sistine Chapel, the Gallery of Tapestries, Pompeii’s contrada, the pizza…I didn’t know where to start when family and friends welcomed me back from our fabulous trip!  My husband and I planned this trip to meet our daughter and her boyfriend at the end of her study abroad semester in Florence.  Neither of us had traveled to Europe before and wanted to take advantage of the most within our budget.  We really had no idea where to start.  Our travel consultants suggested several itineraries, listened to our interests, and arranged for us a fantastic custom itinerary.  Our agent was very accessible and accommodating as we tried to coordinate our schedules while attempting to get prompt information from busy students!  We had an eventful schedule with excursions in Rome, Pompeii, Florence, Venice and Siena in 10 days, with evenings free to…eat more!  We appreciated the extra support our consultants provided with walking maps and suggested daily itineraries beyond the excellent accommodations, drivers and private tours. My husband kept thanking me for arranging this personalized trip so flawlessly, but all credit goes to these travel consultants and the travel company team; thank you for making me look good and thank you for an amazing experience.
