Travel Review: Luxury Birthday Trip to Italy, Rome, Positano, Naples, Capri, Pompeii, Vatican, Colosseum

My husband and I just returned from an amazing Italian vacation planned by this travel specialist.  From the moment I began working with our travel specialist on this trip, she was very responsive and focused on the type of trip we were looking to take.  This was to celebrate my 40th birthday and our 5 year anniversary and our travel specialist planned the perfect trip.  I knew that we wanted to visit Rome and Positano in a week and she put together a wonderful itinerary for us.  From the hotels to the internal travel (trains, cars) to the tour guides, she didn't miss a beat.  We spent our first 2 days in Rome, where we toured the Vatican and ancient Rome.  We appreciated that she scheduled both of these tours in the afternoon, so we were able to have leisurely mornings.  On the 3rd day, she scheduled a train ride to Naples where our driver picked us up to tour Pompeii.  From there, she planned a winery lunch for us.  Our driver then took us to Positano where we spent the next couple of days.  We had one free day in Positano where we explored the town on our own.  While there, our travel specialist planned a day trip to Capri, which was amazing.  We took a three hour private boat tour around the island and then had time afterwards to explore Capri itself.  After Positano, we took the train from Naples back to Rome, where we had a couple of days to ourselves.  That was great because after having spent the beginning of the trip in Rome, we had an idea of how to get around the city (best on foot) and did some exploring on our own.

Our travel specialist was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning stages and was very accessible while in Italy.  Prior to the trip, she provided great guides for each city we were in, including restaurants and shopping.  She was responsive to my emails while we were there, making sure I had the most up-to-date itinerary and train tickets (since I forgot my printouts at home).  I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to travel to Italy and look forward to working with her on our next trip.
