Travelers' reviews about Italy

Florence was very busy. We would not do the food tour again on the first day as much of what we did was repeated later. We did choose this but a Hop On Hop Off bus may have been a better choice. We liked our day trips out. Our guide to Sienna was particularly good at looking after seniors. We liked the private pickups from Pisa to Florence and from Florence back to Pisa.

Under Evaneos' guidance and care, I visited Florence, Cinque Terre, Rome, Amalfi, Pisa, Tuscany, etc. It seemed like a whirlwind tour, but I had the time that I needed at every location! Well, like I said before, instead of 2 weeks, I should have spent 2 months! But I will, and Evaneos will DEFINITELY be the travel planner that I work with!!

Finding destinations was largely up to (a) information from Enrico and (b) our guides and transport partners. Top moments: hard to specify. Italy was all-new to us and one fascinating excursion after another.

It was our first time to Italy. Rome was not what we expected, it’s dirty and full of graffiti. As above, driving through Naples isn’t a tour. Pompeii is very interesting, enjoyed the city. Again, not so much the tour or the guide. We loved Venice. It’s a beautiful city. We will go back to Venice some day.

While we enjoyed everything about Italy, the opportunity to invite our two adult children to accompany us for a week so they too could get a glimpse of their heritage and see where their grandparents and great grandparents lived was priceless. For us the most satisfying part of our trip. All the while, Enrico stayed in touch by email to see how things were going and to get us lined up for the coming day's events. Well done, Enrico!

This was the first time to Italy for 3 of the 4 travelers so everything was a new experience. Venice and Cinque Terre were the favorites, but Lake Como (Bellagio) and Siena were a very close second. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was something you had to see but it was really too commercialized. We saw Italy by train, boat, car and foot - very unique.

Three weeks in Italy. Carpineto Romano, Venice, Florence and Tuscany, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Rome. Wonderful!

We arrived to Rome in the morning and we started to know this beautiful city, for three days we enjoyed the monuments, paintings and sculptures. We loved the fountains, coliseum and the pantheon. Then we take the train to Venice we’re enjoy the water taxi and the gondola. Was really beautiful the food and the people was great. After 2 days we take the train to Florence ( my favorite city) everyday something amazing 😉 the food, the little towns, the people and the views was stopped breathing! We have the life time trip 😊 and we planning the next. Thank you so much to Enrico, he make this trip unforgettable.

We were a group of three that traveled to Palermo, Sorrento and the Amafi Coast. We stayed at the new BnB In Centro, which was a more contemporary hotel that had a big, spacious room for us and staff that was absolutely fantastic. They really made our trip special in Sicily. We then had a special one day trip from Naples to Sorrento and then onward to Amafi where our driver introduced us to his hometown restaurants, sites and experience. We could not have asked for a more special ride, as the local stories and tips were memorable. The trip ended in Amafi with a stay at Hotel Antico Convitto. This hotel was centrally located with extremely nice staff.

We concentrated on Florence and Rome with side trips to Sienna and Cassino. Though the weather for the first 1/2 was a bit rainy, it did not slow us down. Our hotel in Florence was absolutely spectacular. I don't think there could be a better one that addressed our needs! 2 blocks from il Doumo (we could see the dome) and yet super quite as we faced away from the street. We walked everywhere. Our day guide for Florence was wonderful and informative. Our wine tour and dinner into Chianti was lovely. Our driver from Florence to Italy was absolutely amazing. He talked us into a quick stop at San Gimignano, and we are over the top happy that he did. Not to be missed! We then spent time in Sienna and it all just made us want to come back for more. Rome was Rome. Big, bustling, exciting, lots of people and sights to see! Our guide for the Vatican was also wonderful, as was the one that took us on our last evening tour of the squares. Both super informative. We did visit the Coliseum and Forum as part of a 'small group'. it was still about 15 people and though totally acceptable and expected, we both realized we had been totally spoiled by the private tours! One of our highlights was by the Exclusive wine pairing dinner. Though my mother had been tired from a day of walking all over, this was simply not to be missed and are so happy we included it in our experience! The Casa Bleve was simply outstanding in every respect. From appetizers and Prosecco in their wine cellar next to the 1st century Roman wall, to the cacio e pepe, to the phenomenal service, to the guide (Alessandra)...all beyond expectations! I am grateful the date mix up was corrected for so as not I've attached a few photos from the trip. So other than the two issues I mention above, all else was fabulous!

We had a great honeymoon. Arrived in Rome, went to Florence, went to Venice, ended in Milan. All in all it was a once in a lifetime trip for us.

We wove our way down from Milan down to the bay of Naples, visiting lots of small towns along the way.

Everything was well arranged and all services on time. We thank Enrico and his team for their efforts.

Hotel was great

An amazing trip filled with tours and lots of history. Not having to worry about anything and having our agent Enrico accessible via email was also a bonus. Italy was beautiful and we hit all the recommended key areas all previously organized for us.
