The trip was absolutely fabulous! Everything we’d hoped for. Every single detail was absolutely perfect.
The hotel in Venice had old-world charm and the staff was incredible; they knew our name by the second day. In Florence, the breakfasts were incredible and the location was perfect! Rome had the best beds and a great breakfast.
The guides were MAGNIFICENT. Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kind. Having private guides to answer questions and tell us the history of what we were seeing made the sights that much more meaningful. Manuel , Monica , Marina, and our guides in Pisa and Lucca were especially wonderful. Their local pride and knowledge shown through all of their tours. The private tour at the Restoration Center was one of the highlights of our trip and we looked at everything with new eyes and appreciation after seeing their work. The tours were well organized and informative;we learned something new on every tour. The food tours were also really incredible and we loved both of them . We’d definitely recommend them to anyone. The drivers were all really professional and courteous.
There were so many magical moments! The cicchetti tour in Venice was delightful, Monica literally brought Florence to life for us, lunch in the Chianti vineyard, the Borghese Museum was beyond our expectations, St. Peter’s was magnificent, and Pompeii and Herculaneum were stunning. It was just a once in a lifetime experience.
