Ciao Alessia, the best part of the trip for us was Venice. It is a truly magical place. We enjoyed the tour of the palace there. Also the boat trip to Capri was wonderful! I am so glad we didn't cancel that. Finally we took a bus trip from Sorrento to amalfie city and positano..
Alessia,
Thanks for everything, it was a great trip! It hasn't been fun going back to work this past week though. :) I think the wine tasting in Vicenza and gourmet tour in Venice were definitely highlights and we really enjoyed the cooking class too. I'll upload a photo to the website once I finish going through all the pictures I took, I took a lot!
SPECIAL EVENT
The Venice Film Festival is held every year at the Lido of Venice, in the historic ‘Palazzo del Cinema’ and in the surrounding buildings. For ten days, the Lido turns into a minor version of Hollywood, with many international actors, that - I’m sure of it - also love to take the chance to visit such a fantastic location and - I bet - feel even more like movie stars.
We can't say enough good things about all the tour guides and drivers we had. All were on time or early, very professional and all had great fund of knowledge, especially the driver we had from Firenze to San Gimignano and Siena and back. Her name was Mafalda and she was so pleasant and charming and full of useful and interesting information, I felt we became good friends:)
We loved our experience in Rome, the Hotel Montecarlo was wonderful, and having the skip the line tickets allowed us to truly have a wonderful day-filled experience.
Ciao Laura,
I want to thank you personally for planning our trip so perfectly. Everyday went very smoothly, nothing was confusing, directions were very clear and so helpful.
Ciao Roberta,
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner .. my husband and I travel to Italy frequently, but never did we have such an amazing experience!
We had a great time and were very pleased with the trip that Cultural Italy planned for us. I would have to say that Siena and Venice were our favorites. With Wine country coming in a close second. All in all there was something for everyone and we were sad to see our 12 days go by so fast.
The trip was great! Kolbe hotel was good. Napolean hotel in Rome provided excellent service, but beds and pillows were very comfortable. Service was top notch. The hotel in Sorrento was good. Great trip overall.
TUSCANY'S HIDDEN JEM
Located on a hill just over 300 meters, Castiglion Fiorentino offers you a relaxing view: from its squares and terraces, the sight of the landscape of 'Val di Chiana' disappears toward the horizon. The small village had already evolved during Etruscan times since the VI century B.C., but it was not until the Roman Empire that the area became more prominent.
NEWS
Very soon, before traveling to Italy and Europe in general, you may want to take into consideration upgrading your magnetic-stripe credit cards to a chip-and-PIN card, as less and less merchants have been accepting the swipe and sign credit cards.
