We had the trip of a lifetime! Exploring Italy with our numerous drivers and guides made the travel easy and fun. Every detail was accounted for. We loved Valentina, Suzanne, Roberto and Elizabeth. They assured that we saw all there was to see and added an element of pure Italian hospitality. Our hotels were amazing and our tours were outstanding. Jessica's planning and hard work assured that we would have a great trip. The App was easy to use and made train transfers and meeting times and places a breeze. We look forward to using Kim Kim for another adventure. Well done!
Hotel Reviews
Crowded lobby and small room. The breakfast was good.
Great location, great breakfast!
The spa was amazing but the room was hot and small. It. seemed a bit out dated. The breakfast was delicious!
This hotel was a GREAT location. The breakfast was marginal and the rooms were small.

Activity Reviews
Our guide was well-informed but spent too much time on the history and did not seem aware of our time constraints. We just barely fit the roof-top visit in and she seemed confused when we told her that we had an early departure for that day. Overall it was a good experience but we felt bad for our tour guide who seemed prepared for a much longer experience.
Elizabeth was amazing. She kept us on time and on task and allowed time for our own adventure in Bellagio. She recommended a fabulous lunch spot and joined us for a great outing.
We loved our vineyard tours but especially appreciated Valentina taking us to a small town for the most authentic experience of our week. She found a lovely lunch spot and communicated in Italian with the owner to allow us to experience a very special lunch. Although it was only a fragment of our tour, it was most memorable. We adored Valentina!
Vera did a good job of giving us the basics of Rome. She took us to some different places.....the Trevi Fountain and the old Hospital now University which was very interesting. I wish we had seen the castle and DiVinci museum. We were extremely tired and probably not the best audience. She did a great job.
We had a fabulous tour and lunch at the Argillae vineyard. We loved the wine and really appreciated the time the owner (female/daughter) Julie? spent with us. She was so professional and fun and made our experience valuable. The lunch was amazing and was paired with the wines. This was a high point of our trip for sure.
Wow! We saw so much and learned so much. The Vatican Museum and Sistene Chapel were amazing. We saw all the sites! Suzanne was wonderful! Very informative and fun. She took us to a great lunch spot and knew how to make the trip very authentic for us. She was one of our best guides. We loved her!
Good trip. Our driver was very nice. Our Pompeii tour was great.
Nancy gave a very good tour. She knew a lot about Pompeii but didn't overload us with too much information.
This activity was cancelled due to strong winds and storms. We were so SAD! This was to be a highlight of our week. No one could help the circumstances. We will need to come back!
We had torrential rain during part of this tour. Our drive Roberto was one of our favorite people on this tour, He took plenty of pictures and really seemed to enjoy his job. He made the day special.
This felt very authentic. We loved meeting the chef and had a wonderful lunch during our tasting.
This class was fun but seemed a bit commercialized and not authentic. There were so many groups at the same time. The pizza making was fun and the pizza was good but it was very hot and a bit uncomfortable.
