Wonderful Trip to Italy!

Italy | Aug 12 - Aug 18, 2024

We had stayed at this boutique hotel before (14 years ago) and liked it so much much that we requested to stay there on this trip. While the hotel was still visually interesting (the interior decor), the hotel had undergone renovations and our hotel room (the same room as 14 years ago) looked very different. It was no longer split-level and had a lot less space. Otherwise, the stay was okay. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Amazing place. Stunning panoramic views from the restaurant! Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere.

Great hotel in a great location in Rome. Easy to walk from the hotel to our tour starting points.

It was great to visit Pisa and the guided tour was great and informative, but the time of year to visit wasn’t the best. It was SUPER HOT and HUMID! 🥵

Excellent! The guide really knew her stuff about the local cuisine. We visited some great places, tasted some great food, and had some great wine. We learned quoted a bit about the local Florentine food culture!

It was great, but too much was packed into the time allotted. We visited 5 places in all (we were told that it would be 3), and we drank a LOT of wine! It was fun, but we were tired toward the end of it.

Absolutely amazing! We fell in love with Siena! The driver and guide were excellent, the place gorgeous, it was the day before Palio, an important cultural event held twice a year in the city, so there was an excited atmosphere everywhere as people prepared for the next day!

It was an excellent tour! The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the colosseum and surrounding areas. She really knows her Roman history!

The Vatican is an amazing place! Impressive fortress walls, museums, gardens, the Sistine Chapel, and the Basilica of St. Peter. So much to see and take in!

We had a great time on this small group walking food tour of Rome! We especially loved visiting the Jewish Ghetto quarter of Rome and experiencing the food there! The Gelato we had at the end of the tour was also amazing!

This was the last day, we had breakfast, checked out, were driven to the airport for our flight home. Everything went smoothly! Great trip, but just very hot and humid in Italy in August!
