Andrea did an outstanding job crafting a personalized tour of Sicily for us. He met with us via Zoom before the trip and answered all our questions in detail. He assisted us in getting our seat selections for our connecting ITA flights between Roma and Palermo. He was readily available and responsive during the trip when we had questions. We would definitely work with Andrea on any future trips to Italy.

All hotels were unique and wonderful - Palazzo Balsamo (Palermo), Villa Fiorita (Taormina), Asmundo di Gisira (Catania), Palazzo Artemide (Syracusa - Ortigia), Villa Athena Resort (Agrigento) and Palazzo Natoli (Palermo). The staff at all the hotels were very friendly and helpful.

All the guides - Chiara (Palermo), Giuseppe "Pepe" (Taormina), Aureliano (Catania, Syracusa - Ortigia), Francesco (Mt. Etna), Ivana (Ragusa) and Marco (Valle dei Templi Agrigento) were professional, deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and fluent in English. We highly recommend all of them to anyone seeking a personalized tour with a subject matter expert.

The owner of the chocolate laboratory in Modica (I believe her name is Sara) was also very knowledgeable and patient with us!

Our two dedicated drivers, Giovanni and Salvatore were critical to the success of our visit. Both these young men are excellent, safe drivers. They were always punctual and professional in their dealings with us. They coordinated all our trips with our guides and hotels. They represented their companies and their country flawlessly. We highly recommend them and would gladly ride with them again!

This hotel was the most modern and spacious of the rooms that we stayed in. It was across from the train station which was very convenient. It was walkable to the main attractions and there were lots of places to eat nearby.

There are no words to describe how incredible the Vatican tour is. Our guide was fantastic. The only downside was that we did not get to tour the Basilica because the Pope wanted to use it.

Our guide was great and very knowledgeable, but definitely above our level. I enjoyed the David, but felt like it was too rushed, there was a lot more that I would have liked to see in the gallery besides the David. The outside of the Duomo was beautiful and the dome was amazing, but I don't think we needed to go inside.

It was our first time to Italy so wanted a mix of "the things you have to see" and time to really appreciate the country and culture. It was perfect for our needs. We ended up really appreciating the slower pace of Salerno. Still beautiful with lots of amenities, but not as touristy as other things. Our guides were all great.

Agota was incredible in keeping us informed and shifting things as needed. I'm pretty sure this is a 24 hour job.

Due to some changes, we did the Basilica on our own and then the Vatican and Sistine Chapel with a guide. Roberta was knowledgable and really enthusiastic about everything. She was really good at explaining what we were going to see before we saw it and helping us understand historical themes. Basilica was amazing. We went to a small mass during our visit. The art is incredible. Just an amazing building.

Sara was an excellent guide and was really good at ensuring we were at the Forum early (which wasn't quite as busy) and the Colisseum afterward. She was also really good at checking in with us regarding taking photos, resting, getting drinks, and keeping us on time. It's all amazing but more than you can see in the tour. We are putting the Forum back on our list for the next visit.

Our trip planner, Guilia, was excellent. Her responses on text and e-mail were immediate and she was able to orchestrate many moving parts seamlessly. I loved the personalized travel application for each family member since we had a number of schedules to manage. I loved the kimkim communication platform which help me organize my thoughts and respond quickly for answers I knew and later for things I had to delay. It would have been helpful to know in advance the walking times to our various tour destination points. A preprinted map with meeting points, restaurants and bars may have been useful. Our cooking class was delightful but it was scheduled at 7pm and the pasta was finished and served at 9pm. It was also not enough to be considered dinner for six people. It was a snack and would have been a nice light lunch or day activity. Our tour guides were very sweet and knowledgeable but we suffered from tour guide fatigue and had to cut our last (4th) tour short. Also, next time I will ask the planner to add restaurant recommendations to use as a starting point for planning. Hotel location on the water was perfect for our family of adults with plenty of cafes and space for gathering. We loved our sunny weekend in the fascinating city of Venice. Thank you!

Thank you Laurel for your very nice review, I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed your family trip in Venice! 😊
I am only sorry to hear that the food was not enough during the cooking class: it was a Pasta and TiramisĂč cooking class, that was supposed to include also an apĂ©ritif...so this certainly would not include any second dish or extra side dishes, but the Pasta was supposed to be enough for all of you. Thank you for this feedback, it is the very first time we receive such a remark about the quantity of food, so I have immediately contacted our partner to understand what happened. Thank you for letting me know!
As far as the starting time of the cooking class is concerned, I am sorry to hear that it was finally too late for you, but as you will certainly remember...you specifically asked me to move the starting time to 7pm so that you could have the entire afternoon at your leisure and the time to get ready for the cooking class with no rush on that day. I should have maybe been clearer about the fact that you would not be able to start eating before 8.30-9pm, considering the time needed to prepare your dinner.
I am also glad to hear that you liked the Vamoos app and the personalization of the schedules for the different family members! I hoped that sending the restaurants recommendations well in advance to the final roadbook (I sent them around mid-February so you could have the time to carefully reason about restaurants) would have been enough, but yes, if you have specific needs or wishes about restaurants, it is definitely important to clearly let your planner know, so that the rest of the trip can be "built" accordingly.
The weather was so perfect over Easter weekend, I am so happy that you were so lucky during your holiday!
Thank you for the time you reserved to letting us have all your precious feedbacks, and I really hope that despite the ittle inconveniences you pointed out, your vacation was finally as good as expected!
A big hug from Italy!
