Italy in March

We landed in Rome and were picked up by a private van. We were dropped off at our hotel, and from there, we walked everywhere to tour the city, except when we did our night tour of Rome. We took a taxi to the Vatican, which our hotel helped to arrange, and we got a taxi to come back, which we were able to find ourselves very easily. We then left for Florence, where we picked up our rental car and drove straight through to Siena. Once we arrived in Siena, and got situated, we walked in to the city center everyday. It was rich full of history and culture. We loved the city center tremendously. We also drove to Montalcino and toured a vineyard, which was lovely, and we found a delicious restaurant and lots of fun things to do there. After five nights there, we drove back to Florence and returned the rental car. We stayed there one night and toured the city. We headed to Venice the next day and stayed for three days there, where we explored and had a magical time.

We had decided on Italy as it was a place my husband and I both had never been. The Italian coast was amazing. The excursions we had were beautiful. Each day was filled with new and exciting adventure and it was all planned out for us and organized very well! The food was amazing.

My husband and I were trying to plan a romantic honeymoon in Italy, I was very happy with the speedy communication and itinerary the company was offering. We booked with our specialized tour guide Enrico. He was so helpful with all of our requests of sights to see and where to stay. All hotels were central to shopping, piazza's and restaurants. He tailored our very own private Italian tour and it was a trip my husband and I will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you Enrico for your time and patience and help creating something that was so memorable and special. We began our tour in Rome: Our walking guided tour guide Ilaria was so knowledgeable about Rome and its history. It was a small group making it more Intimate. Our Coliseum tour guide Alejandro from ***** was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Later in the afternoon we had an opportunity to visit the Sistine Chapel. Our guide Simon from ******* made it fun and engaging. Enrico arranged all transportation from each city. The train system in Italy was very straight forward and comfortable. We took a direct train from Rome to Florence where our gem of a guide Demetra took us on a fun tour of Florence. It truly was a beautiful experience. The bridges, and art were breathtaking. Tourist tip: We climbed to the top of Piazzale Michelangelo where there were stunning views of the city and Arno river. Next stop: Verona. The birth place of Romeo and Juliet. Verona was also a very romantic city. The quaint streets, friendly people and the feeling of love in the entire city was an amazing experience. A trip to Verona would not be complete without visiting the famous Juliet's Balcony (Casa di Giulietta). Tip: Shopping in Italy is fantastic, we stopped off at a store called Unieuro in downtown Verona where we got a great price for a small carry on bag. Our guide Irene was so passionate about Verona and its rich history. We had a private tour where she took us to every special nook of Verona. It was a pleasure meeting her. Our last stop: Venice. We were picked up by water taxi from the train station and got dropped to our hotel. It was a fun time! We had another private tour with our guide Luigina. Venice was a beautiful city surrounded by water. Great food and very central to all major historic landmarks. Having ****** plan our trip made it all so easy and stress-free. I highly recommend the company to anyone planning an Italian Getaway. Thank you Enrico for all your assistance and a beautiful honeymoon.
