Hello Matteo,
We had a fabulous trip!
We wanted to share our feedback:
Langhe region was beautiful, just beautiful.
The hotel you booked us in was beautiful and service was exceptional. Origini Bistrot was hit and miss, meaning, I liked my meal, Andy did not.
Trekking guide was great and informative. *Cooking class at the winery was fantastic! Loved their wine! Highly recommend. That was one of the highlights of our trip!!
The winery was ok. The big barrels were neat.
Genoa food tour was wonderful! Guide was detailed and informative. Would recommend!
The hotel was great. Beautiful views, good service! Loved Cinque Terre and our guide for the day was terrific!!
*The restaurant was absolutely fabulous! Food was excellent! We liked it so much we went back again on Tuesday! Pasta with lobster and mixed salad and their house wine were all excellent!! (Thank you for the first night there with preferred seating. View was fabulous.)
*Boat excursion Italian Riviera & Portofino was wonderful! We loved it! Would highly recommend the skipper.
*Portofino was charming. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. Same with Santa Margherita, charming! The timing for both didn’t allow us to shop much because the shops were closed in the afternoon.
*Parma-the restaurant you recommended was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience of the food and the service was good. Highly recommend. As far as the town itself, not that interesting.
*All the drivers were punctual. We were particularly impressed with Danny, our driver to Portofino.
So in closing, your service and responsiveness was greatly appreciated. The real-time messaging service was very helpful and reassuring. Your travel app was extremely helpful. The easy link and clear choices for the trip insurance was very helpful. We did like the private tours and drivers as it allowed us more time to enjoy what we preferred, not having to take up more time with a group. As you know, we LOVE Italy, and expect to return many more times in the future.
Please let me know if you need further clarification on my comments above. Thanks again. I will forward you via email some photos. It was an epic trip overall. Italy is breathtaking.
