Italy with 12 friends

May 20 - May 31, 2023
Went on a 12 day Italy trip before we got on a viking ship in Venice. We had a group of 12 and Kim Kim scheduled the whole Italy leg of our journey. They picked us up at the airport and transported us to each hotel and on the last day took us to the ship. We never had to worry about anything because they did it all for us. Transportation, accommodations, food, tours, etc. Had a wonderful trip. I highly recommend going through Kim Kim and especially working with Eleni. She was great. We went to Florence, Seina, Italian Riveria, Lake como and Venice. Stayed in 5 hotels and did tours everyday. Loved the hiking, boat rides, walking tours, restaurants. It was all fantastic.
Hotel Reviews
We only got to stay here for 1 night because we had a canceled flight from Paris. But the hotel was perfect. Great location and big comfortable bed and bathroom. The breakfast was so yummy. Loved it
The hotel was great and in a perfect location. I only wish we would have had our own room. We ended up getting a room with our friends and had to share a bathroom. I would have rather paid more and gotten our own room
The best hotel we stayed in. I absolutely loved this hotel. Nice room and bathroom. The breakfast was amazing and the shared areas were beautiful with ocean views.
The room we were given had a really bad smell in it. I tried to get another room but none were available. I had to go get a candle and burn it all night. The smell never went away, but with the candle burning I was able to tolerate it.
We were given a beautiful room and we loved it
Activity Reviews
I got to sit in the King/Queen seats. It was really nice
The guide was ok, but not great. The walking was fine, but it was alittle hard to understand her
Another amazing day. It was beautiful weather and the guide was great. The boat ride was awesome and the lunch was so good. Loved this area and it was a great day
Did not go on this tour because our flight was cancelled so we missed this tour
Was unable to go on this tour because our flight was cancelled
Loved this tour and the beautiful roof top terrace we had some coffee on. Very imformative tour
Our guide was the BEST. She was so smart and provided a ton of great information about the area and wine and olive oil. I highly recommend this tour
Great guides and went to lots of fun places. Loved the area and the guide told us so much about the region. The dinner was outstanding and the wine was so good
The bus driver was the best. He detoured our bus so we could go pick up our friends luggage that was lost for 5 days. We still got to see Pisa and Lucca which were so cute.
Best tour ever. We so loved doing this tour. Had so much fun driving up to the cooking class. It was crazy scary and fun at the same time. The lunch was great and the boat ride was awesome. There was alittle mix up with the boat driver not knowing that we were supposed to be able to swim and we were supposed to be dropped off by our hotel. But it was still awesome to experience the boat ride
This was a fun day. Wine was good and the ice cream was great.
Had a great guide...Dannee we had a wonderful ride up the funicular, did an incredible hike and had an amazing lunch up on the mountain. There was alittle issue with timing and we were late to our boat ride so we ended up not being able to do the whole boat ride and we ended up getting just a ride back to our hotel area. It was alittle disappointing because I would have loved to experience the boat for a couple of hours, instead we only got 30 minutes.
This is the boat ride we did not get to experience. The tour right before it went long so we missed be able to do this tour. Very sad because I was looking forward to this one. The good news is at least we were able to pick up a ferry to take us back to our hotel area, otherwise we would have had to walk back about 10 miles to get to hote.
The winery was beautiful and very clean. Loved the tastings and the food was good
Laura thank you very much for your precious feedback.
I am very happy that despite all hiccups with the flights and lost luggage, you got to experience Italy on and off the beaten path!
