It was wonderful! Turandot is my favorite opera, and seeing it in Italy is something that won’t be easily forgotten! Amazing – for as many times as I’ve seen Turandot in New York, the set design was interpreted totally differently in Rome – a bit more scandalous! I loved it!
I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for all the work you did for me, as well as all of your helpful hints and tips during my travels. Just by using your services I was able to save myself so many hours of waiting on very, very long lines. The reservations that were made on my behalf enabled me to see far more on my trip to Italy than would have been possible without your help.
Dear Elena, It could not have been better. The seats were good, the opera was fascinating as it is so little known and the whole experience was amazing.
Thank you for arranging a contrada dinner the night before Siena’s famous Palio. It was a fantastic experience. In the contrada’s main piazza we had a multi-course dinner that lasted past midnight. Throughout the evening the crowd of people from the contrada (Nicchio) — and especially the long tables full of children — sang songs in support of their part of the city.
I had a great vacation. My first time overseas. You were extremely helpful in getting our opera/Vatican tickets. The opera is one of my favorites. We all enjoyed it. The location (at a church) was unusual, especially seeing the performance at the altar. It was a wonderful experience.
My visit to Padova was very enjoyable, the people were very friendly and helpful. Giotto’s Chapel was more than I had expected. He was truly a genius. I would hope to visit the Chapel again someday, but there are so many places to visit and only so much time.
Thank you for your e-mail. Yes, everything went well both with the Uffizi tickets, the Opera in Florence and particularly with the day at Castiglionchio. This was a delightful day; highly recommended.
The Secret Itineraries tour was brilliant, we had an excellent, well-informed guide who gave us lots of interesting facts about the art and history of the Palace and of Venice. We’ve recommeded it to everyone.
