Amazing experience! Planning our mother/daughter trip to Italy was a breeze with Andrea. And the trip itself? Wonderful! Andrea did such a superb job of choosing experiences, lodging, and the general flow/schedule of things. We had just the right amount of time in each location (Venice, Florence, and Sorrento). And he scheduled things so that we had activities, travel, and time at our leisure in a way that made for a great pace. Multiple times during our trip we commented to each other that Andrea really hit the mark! Accommodation locations were perfect, activities were great quality, and details were taken care of that we would not have even realized were needed.

Great locations and amazingly comfortable beds. Set up if the bathroom was a bit odd (more style over function).

Perfect B and B other than very loud traffic if windows open. The host of this BnB, Luigi, was the absolute nicest person and couldn't be better in his role. Cleanliness of the room was amazing. Massive, nice bathroom. Cute patio to eat breakfast on. Tasty breakfast delivered daily. A bit of a hike to the main area of town (15 minutes), but definitely manageable. There were soundproof doors for the patio so when closed there was no issue, but if open the traffic on the street was really really loud. All in all I would probably stay here again as the noise and long walk were only minor inconveniences.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Getting out of the city and into the Tuscan countryside was a highlight of our time in the area. Van was comfortable, our guide, Christina, was great, and the vineyard tours and tastings were wonderful. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this activity! Our guide gave a nice overview of Venice history and culture and then brought us to multiple locations where we learned interesting history, then stopped for wine and cicchetti. We learned so much inside info from our guide that made the rest of our time in Venice better. She helped us to know how to navigate the city, where to go to get a more authentic Venice experience, and provided us with tips and pointers we utilized that vastly improved our time in the city. The tour was private, for just us, and that allowed for a nice pace and personalized experience.

Greeted with a glass if wine the second we stepped on to the property! Nice unique location with beautiful view of Vesuvius. Lunch and tastings were delicious.

Highlight experience for us. Staff were simply amazing. So glad we didn't opt for a simple ferry ride to Capri, as time best part of the trip was the views and stops along the way. Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea!! Several on the boat did get seasick so I strongly recommend some meds if you are prone to that. We had a few hours to explore Capri, but like I said that was the least enjoyable part of the trip. I cannot say enough good about this operation and their staff. Would do this again in a heartbeat even with the seasickness!
