Travel Review: Luxury Italy Vacation, Rome, Venice, Cinque Terre, Coliseum, Duomo, Sistine Chapel, La Fenice Opera House

My girlfriend and I exclaimed repeatedly throughout our journey through Italy, "This is the best trip ever!"  And while of course that had a lot to do with the stunning sights, foods, people, history, and culture, the trip was also so wonderful because of the great way our Italy travel company planned everything out.  Due to our crazy schedules in the months leading up to our trip, my girlfriend and I had zero time to plan our vacation, and so we entrusted our agent at this company.  We simply gave her a list of what we really wanted to see and do.  She responded shortly (a week, I think?) with a fabulous itinerary, including all accommodations and transfers.  Everything was done for us without any hassle!  There were also a couple of instances where changes had to be made to our itinerary due to unforeseen circumstances, but the revisions that our agent made were even better than were originally planned! 

Prior to our departure our agent provided us with a fantastic spreadsheet with our entire schedule and full contact details, and she also FedEx'd a packet of important documents and tips that were invaluable to us throughout the entire trip.  Very professional and helpful.

All the lodging that was arranged for us was great.  The locations of all the B&B's were conveniently close to major sights (our Rome B&B was literally steps from the Trevi Fountain, our Florence B&B had a VERY close view of the Duomo, and our Venice hotel was ON the Grand Canal!), and very comfortable.  The transfers between cities/lodgings were prompt and seamless.  We couldn't have wished for a more hassle-free trip!
