Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Every document even maps to hotel, our agent worked very closely with us to plan a dream honeymoon! The entire experience was way above our expectations. From the details, the excursions, & hotels nothing was left to chance & it was all amazing. She even did a lower cost budget for our parents that were traveling for some of the time as well.
All the documents came fed ex in a folder with a super helpful master list. Tickets, itineraries, & even maps to tours were organized in order. Every tour we went on was premier & very small group if not solo. (Only thing I would suggest is a different gondaler company) All the guides were super knowledgeable & fun... plus no waiting in long lines!
I would recommend this agent every time!

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

It was all so amazing it's hard to choose! So here are a few highlights:
The hotel in Positano, Italy was gorgeous. Enormous veranda covered in ivy with a view of the coast & cliffs. Huge jacuzzi jet tub in bathroom with French doors that open to the veranda & view! Somebody say champagne please.

The twilight food tour in Rome, Italy was sooo good. Took us through an old local neighborhood Trastevere, which was beautiful. We stopped at 7 spots to taste & drink including an old wine cellar were the statue "lisippo" was discovered. Super cool... we really enjoyed this tour.

The cooking class in Montelpuciano, Italy was a totally new experience & we loved it! The chef taught us how to make fresh pasta, sauce, focaccia bread...& even a focaccia pizza to eat while we cooked. We got printed aprons & of course plenty of red wine. It was very hands on & we cooked the meal for 15 guests that were eating at the villa restaurant that night! Everything was delicious... we did good lol.

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

I wouldnt change much but one I would is the gondaler company. Once we were there there were plenty smaller gondolas offering rides with accordion players & singing. The tour company ours was booked through were shuttling people through like cattle. They were 20 minutes late getting us on so we were late for dinner. They put all 6 of us on together... not romantic & screamed a conversation over our heads to each other gondola we passed that he knew.

Also our hotel in Rome...it was nice & service was good, but the newly renovated bathroom still smelled so strongly of mold that it made me sick to be in there. Plus they never told us our breakfast was included till last day... in fact first day she charged us for our coffee so that's why we thought it wasn't.
