Hi Pegah:
It is my first day back to work.
I can not even begin to describe how much we enjoyed the trip. It was absolutely overwhelming. Of course the cities we visited and the sights were spectacular but my husband and I both believe the trip was pushed "over the top" by the services that your group provided. We had not one single moment of stress or anxiety that usually accompanies travel in foreign cities; where do I get the train, how do I get from here to there etc, etc.
Everything worked like clockwork, assistants met us in the places we needed to be met at, navigated our way to the car or train or water taxi.
The guides in each city were wonderful and gave us an experience I am CERTAIN was far superior to those who traveled in groups. We sat on a bench in the Fine Arts Gallery in Florence with our guide as he explained Michelangelo's "Slaves" prior to seeing "David". As we sat there at least 4 groups passed in front us. They saw the Slaves and David but not the way we saw them. Our guides had such knowledge and passion it was impossible not to be infused with the same passion.
We had a slight medical incident our first full day in Rome during our tour of the Vatican and our guide Nadia helped in such a way that we were able to continue the tour with no problem. Had we been in a group the day would have been lost for sure.
We were very pleased with all of the hotels, thank you for the wine and fruit, it was very thoughtful.
I can't thank you enough for your hard work that paid off in allowing us to experience Italy in such a magnificent way. We are definitely forever spoiled and will measure every future trip against this one.
I would like to mention specifically our guides Nadia, Francisco and Mr. Sabino as outstanding. Drivers Sergio (Florence) and and Giacoma (Rome to Florence) were equally wonderful. We had two different drivers during our days in Rome, whose names I cannot recall who were also helpful.
Please advise the agencies that you worked with that we were very pleased with the services and personnel provided.
I will be singing "Road to Italy's" praises to anyone who will listen!!
Thanks again
Gail
