Italy

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We originally planned our trip to the Lombardy region for May 2020, so we all know how that went. Giulio and his team were patient and communicative as the world navigated Covid, which was much appreciated. When we revived our plans for May 2022, we were promptly provided with an updated agenda and pricing.

I used to consider myself a pretty savvy traveler. Two years at home plus an unanticipated recurrence of an old health problem snapped me back to amateur status. We felt fortunate to have our Italy travel company on the ground, as we needed more help than we usually would. We spoke or texted nearly daily, and they professionally handled everything: from the time we couldn’t find our driver, to the day we had to cancel our activities due to illness, to getting us last-minute dinner reservations (we forgot that Italian restaurants don’t turn tables like they do in the US), they handled everything brilliantly.

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

Giulio planned the trip we asked for: we went to smaller cities, saw a bunch of cars, and enjoyed the amazing local cuisine. I appreciated this, as I have had experiences with agencies recommending things that I specifically said we would not want to do. Giulio carefully read my original request, and we settled on a final itinerary in very short order. My family had been to Italy twice before, but we mostly went to the large cities and sites. Visiting the medieval to Renaissance-era cities for this trip was magical. It seemed like each was more beautiful than the last. The guides were all competent and knowledgeable. My son really enjoyed the car museums and Lamborghini test drive: “best graduation gift ever” was the official review.

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

I would have done a little more research into the locations we were visiting. For example, we had trouble finding a cash machine that would accept our cards, which never happened to us in Italy in the past. I asked for something to do each day; perhaps we would have been better off if I asked for a free day somewhere in the middle. There was a bit of “hurry up and wait” when we would move off one activity quickly only to wait around for the next one to start. I think that’s more of a “coming out of a pandemic” issue than anything else.
