Fabio put together a perfect trip for me, my husband and our grandson. It was just as we requested. We were very busy and saw all the fun and important sights. Everything went like clockwork.
All of our drivers were on time and very good. Some were friendlier than others but they all knew how to drive safely through the crazy, crazy Italian traffic. Our best drivers were Bruno who took us to Pompeii and then arranged a delicious pasta lunch at Cuomo’s in Gragnano and Stefano who took us to Volterra, and Gimgnano plus a lunch at an unique winery in a beautiful setting.
The Hotel Kraft in Florence with the swimming pool, beautiful rooftop terrace with views of Florence and superior breakfasts was the best. The CC Palace in Rome was very nice as well. The Hotel Mignon in Sorrento was charming inside but lacking in attention to detail on the terrace and breakfasts.
We had such a great time which was due in part to arrangements and timing for tickets, tour guides and drivers.

Fabio was always available for any questions or concerns and responded quickly. I really enjoyed working with him.

Centrally located but on a very noisy street. The room was bright and cheerful and very clean. The breakfast was ordinary and adequate. The deck outside the bedroom was dirty and neglected. Staff was very helpful.

The blue grotto and Anacapri were fun and worth doing. The crowds were awful which made the day more difficult.
