Custom Tour to Italy

Our trip to Italy was wonderful! Thank you so much for all of your help and arrangements. Everything went pretty smoothly and we certainly enjoyed our stay. We hope to come back and spend time in southern Italy and visit the Cinque Terre in the near future. All of the places we visited made us yearn for more of the Italian countryside and its beauty.

Our itinerary was well planned and organized. Each location offered its own specialty and variety. We loved Venice especially but Florence was a close second.

The people we found were all very friendly (no anti-American sentiment). The tour guides were superb. Each was friendly, very knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend time with. Each gave us great recommendations for dinners and places to see. They went out of their way to make our vacations special. We would recommend a tour in each city and the night in Rome was a highlight of our trip! The fish dinner in Murano was remarkable because chef sent us more seafood to eat then we have ever eaten, we were royally treated at The Gato Nero!! Our favorite guide was Andrea in Rome because although we saw a lot of things in very hot weather it was always interesting.

The accommodations were GREAT. The Brunellschi staff was excellent! They even brought us breakfast at 5:30 AM on the day of our departure! We were enchanted by the Torre Bellosguardo and well treated at the Dei Dogi. We agreed that we enjoyed staying out of the main tourist flow in the larger cities like Venice and Florence. It was worth the extra taxi and vaporetto rides to have a quiet place to come home to.

The transfer to and from the airport was welcome and wonderful. The trains were fast efficient and well run.

It was certainly the trip of a lifetime and we would certainly recommend your services in the future.

Thank you once again.
