The Brunello Wine & Montalcino Small Group Tour from S.Gimignano

Dear Emily
We arrived back home yesterday after spending an additional ten days in Israel. The whole trip was marvelous. Here is my feedback on the Rome portion:

First, I feel that Trips2Italy was very accommodating. When a delay of our flight in Omaha caused us to miss our connecting flight to Rome, I notified Trips2Italy and they adjusted the time of the airport transfer with no problems.

Second, the people at the Columbia Hotel were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfasts very much. The room was adequate. We availed ourselves of the rooftop lounge a few nights.

Third, the various tours:

--The tour guide for Ancient Rome was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal. I think she was thorough and friendly.
--The tour guide for the Jewish Ghetto and Trastavere was outstanding. We were the only two on the tour and she was quite knowledgeable and intelligent. We had a wonderful time. After the tour was over, we had lunch in the Ghetto and then did a tour of the Great Synagogue.
--Overall, we really enjoyed Rome. The city is very pretty. We spent our free time exploring the city, shopping, and eating (lots of eating!). We also did a tour of the Christian Catacombs and went to the Trevi Fountain at night. We took in some opera, too. We found the city very easy to navigate and we think our hotel location was excellent.

Thanks so much for everything. In a few years we hope to do the rest of Italy, so we'll be in touch.

Best,

Donna
