Rome Sorrento and Sicily Summer Escorted Tour
“Italy was great, full of history and warm people and of course the food was delicious… Milano- Big city with the main attraction the Duomo and surrounded shopping area. We walked everywhere which is the best way to really see any city in Italy and its people… The lakes were huge and with splendid views… Bologna- Great food and the restaurant that you guys recommended around the hotel was very good. The Hotel was the down side since the AC was not working properly and it was hot in Italy… All the tours were great and very organized. The most fun was the Vespa tour and wine tasting… “

“…We had an absolute blast… overall we loved our trip and I would totally recommend you to friends who would be considering a trip to Italy. We loved both hotels that you selected for us. Nice location, the staff was friendly and the rooms were clean… I truly enjoyed our private wine tasting tour. Our driver… was fantastic and deserves his own company! … He truly loved his country and it showed when he explained the history and the culture. I learned lots from him… I liked that we had things planned, but we also had free time. I would love to go back to Italy and would use your company again!”

“I just wanted to let you know how much our group enjoyed our tours of Rome with our guide... She was fantastic! Both days were so interesting and the "skip the line" tickets were definitely a must! She was quite knowledgeable, very friendly and a pleasure to be with. The photos and instructions that were provided for our meeting places were very much appreciated and helped the whole experience go smoothly… Thanks again for all your help and we will certainly recommend your services to our friends.”

“The 'Trips to Italy' people did a great job. Everything went off without a hitch; drivers were where they were supposed to be and on time; the hotel in Florence was well-located and the personnel cordial and helpful. The walking tour was well-done and thorough and the bus tour covered more than we expected… We would not hesitate to recommend 'Trips to Italy'"

“…Tuscany was all that I had expected. I have never seen such glorious light!! Elisa, the tour guide in Florence was wonderful as was the guide in Sienna… Your country is so rich in history. Thank you for choosing the perfect tour of Tuscany. We even saw men harvesting olives outside Monterizzorei. We were there at dusk. Did I mention the glorious light? We tasted and bought the best chianti I have ever had. I could return to Florence, a wonderful, beautiful city… Even with the acqua alta Venice was enchanting…The hotel in Venice is lovely, beautifully remodeled. Our only concern is that the mattresses on the beds were uncomfortable… All in all, we had a fantastic time and did everything we hoped to do and more. If we are fortunate enough to return to Italy we will call on you again… Thank you again for your guidance.”

"We did have an amazing time! Everything was so well-planned, we did not have to worry about a thing“Cooking class was the best I have been to. Lella is amazingly talented and her translator was charming… Car booking was done perfectly. Hotel in Florence was a great location but 1-2 stars lower than my preference… The tour booklet you made was excellent. The half day tour perfect: excellent driver, and a good, quiet wine place is where he took us, plus 2 ancient villages. Thanks again.”

"Maria, Anna, and ThomasThank you so much for your assistance, the Trip Plan and reservations. This personalized tour of Florence and Rome were perfect for the time we had to visit Italy. We could focus on having a good time and not worrying about what to do and how to do it…The train ride from Florence to Rome was beautiful and comfortable.Florence was astounding but we enjoyed Rome even more. The Hotel… was nicely situated away from the center of town but close enough to walk to the Colosseum and the center of Roman civilization. The Tour of the Vatican was our favorite… Our tour guide was easy to understand and with the limited number on the tour we could ask questions and converse about what we saw. The booklet your group put together was excellent. It had many descriptions and tips on the places we visited. This included useful maps of the metro system, stores to visit, interesting history items, and some of your personal favorites of restaurants and walks from someone who knows and just visited the place.We especially enjoyed the water fountains, "roman noses" in Rome. The spring water was abundant, sweet tasting and free.Again, Thank you the most for your personal attention to our needs and enjoyment."

“Our trip was everything we could have hoped for and more! Despite getting off to a bit of a rough start (we were jet lagged on the first day which caused us to sleep through our first scheduled tour for the Colosseum) everything else was great! We ended up being able to join another small group tour… and our tour guide was very good. We really enjoyed visiting the Vatican - everything was very beautiful and our tour guide was very attentive and good at leading us through the museum and the basilica while providing a lot of details about the history… We really enjoyed our hotel in Rome - the staff was very friendly and upgraded us to a Deluxe room upon arrival because our original room wasn't ready. The location was great and we walked everywhere… which ended up being a great way to explore the city…The trip and transfer to Sorrento went very smoothly. I must say, it was so nice to have the transfers set up for us at each location (airport, train station, etc). Our bed and breakfast was very quaint and the owner, Sergio, was extremely welcoming - he had cookies and beers waiting for us at arrival! Plus, he had homemade treats for us at breakfast every morning as well as plenty of local travel advice if we asked for it. We loved that we were located near the Marina Grande which had great views and access to many local restaurants and the beach during the day. At night we would stroll into town to do some shopping and look for a nice restaurant for dinner.The tour to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii was good but not great. The tour guide was a bit difficult to understand and the tour group was large which meant things moved very slowly… However, we did learn a lot and successfully made it to the top of Mt. Vesuvius where the view was incredible!Thank you so much for helping to plan such a memorable trip for my husband and I. Your suggestions and travel advice were very useful. Also, it was very helpful to have everything organized for us in the travel packet you sent before we went abroad. The hotels were in a great location and the staff went over and above to make our stay enjoyable. I already can't wait to return to Italy and explore some of the other cities!! Do you have a tripadvisor page where I could leave feedback? I would love for other people to be able to use your services! :) Thanks…”

"Maria,The trip was great! Planning was flawless. The drivers, hotels and restaurants were top notch. No problems except for a little jetlag / lack of sleep. Favorite restaurant was Trattoria Der Pallaro in Rome (Campo de’ Fiori). Meal was family style and the service and food were excellent. Favorite drivers were Leonardo (day trip to Lucca / Pisa) and Vini (Amalfi Coast). I would request both drivers for your clients in the future. They were fantastic! The tour guides were all very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. I don’t think we would change any aspect of the trip. We will recommend Trips2Italy to friends in the future. I already sent your contact info to a friend yesterday."
