Spain, France, & Italy Tours

Our family of five just got back from the most wonderful vacation in Tuscany and Rome.  Our agent crafted a set of amazing experiences for our family from the private tour guides to Florence, Pisa and Lucca; a private wine tasting lunch at the Capannelle Winery and vineyards in Chianti; tickets to the Papal mass at the Vatican; to a tour beneath the church of San Clemente to see the excavations of a byzantine and then a Roman street neighborhood; a day excursion to the Amalfi coast to visit Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii; and more! Our agent and the guides found excellent restaurants from a simple salumeria where the locals ate to some high end restaurants.  The hotels were right in the center of Florence – on the piazza della Repubblica - and Rome – between the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps.  Our agent was attentive to our plans and made excellent suggestions.  Everything went extremely smoothly.  All the guides drivers were very friendly, spoke English and were very knowledgeable about art, history and the local culture.  We saw so much every day because everything was so well planned.  Simply the best travel experience ever!

We had a fabulous trip to Spain and France and the travel agency made it so easy. We started in Madrid and then hit Bilbao, Toledo, San Sebastian, Biarritz, Bordeaux, and finally Paris. The travel agency organized the entire trip including wonderful hotel accommodations, drivers / transportation, guides, culinary tastings and wine tours. They gave us a highly organized and easy to follow, day-by-day itinerary with all the back-up documentation to make this trip turnkey and were very responsive when we ran into a couple minor hiccups. I would recommend and use them again.

Our experience with this Italy travel agency was simply fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a personalized trip. We simply told Alessia, our Italy travel agent, where we wanted to go and she arranged everything for us. A yoga villa in Tuscany, car rental for day trips,. Round trip train tickets from Rome to Naples, Drivers who met us at the train station then transported us to our hotels in Rome and Sorrento. Our hotels were amazing. In Sorrento we stayed at Hotel Mignon. This place was simple yet very delightful. In Naples we also had a nice experience with our hotel. This hotel is called Hotel Toledo. Also very simple but we had an excellent experience there. The food at the restaurant was surprisingly really good. We also had private tours of the Vatican, Colliseum, Amalfi Coast and Pompei.

We experienced a fabulous twelve night first trip ever to Europe staying in Rome, Sorrento, and Florence with day visits to Naples, Pompeii and Herculaneum, a drive with stops and photo-ops through the beautiful Amalfi coast villages to Ravello, and a day trip to historic Siena and San Gimignano through the Chianti region of Tuscany. Our travel consultant and her colleague at the company in Rome, proved to be perceptive to our interests, resourceful in finding spot-on solutions within our budget and patient professionals as we explored various itinerary options. Both women spoke and wrote english very well to thoughtfully help us plan our itinerary for three adults with private transportation and guides. Our private guides in Rome; in Pompeii and Herculaneum; in Naples; one a Canadian ex-pat in Florence; and in Siena, informed our discovery of each locale and its many treasures.  We also did two small group tours. First, a farm/food tour near Sorrento with an incredibly informative and entertaining guide, and catacombs at Saint Sebastian with a nameless guide and small group of 9 during our Appian way visit and final full day in Rome. At times we were chaperoned in private vehicles with english speaking drivers knowledgeable of their territories. In Rome, in Naples, in the Bay of Naples Sorrento area, in Tuscany, and in Amalfi. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to help others plan the vacation of a lifetime.
