Travel Review: Luxury Italy Family Vacation, Rome, Florence, Venice, Murano, Burano, Vatican City, Chianti Bike Tour, Pizza Making

We just completed our first trip to Italy with our 5 children.  We put our trust in these Italy travel agents to guide us through Rome, Florence and Venice and they did a spectacular job.  From the private transfers to the guided tours, hotels, recommended restaurants and more, everything was first class.  Our agent's recommendations on a variety of activities helped to keep the kids engaged and offered more than your standard walking tours. 

Our agents were very flexible with our itinerary.  They made numerous changes for us as we planned and were always gracious about it.  Everyone of their recommendations were right on. 

The hotels all more than met our expectations.  All were conveniently located to everything that we wanted to do.  They knew when to put us in the middle of the mix and when to move us out a little.  From the small boutique hotel in Rome which sheltered us from the big city but located us in the market (by day) and the Palazzo (at night) to the exquisite accommodations in Florence and to the trendy hotel in Venice on the Grand Canal close enough to busy St Marc's Square but tucked away on the back end in a quite neighborhood, we were always happy with our temporary homes. 

The mix of activities was what made this fun for everyone.  Our children range from 21 to 13.  My husband and I could stay in museums all day but we knew we needed more for the kids.  Blending in cooking classes, bike tours and boat tours was the perfect mix to break things up.

I could not think of ever using anyone else when it comes to planning such a wonderful vacation.
