Italy 10-Day Trips & Itineraries

Our trip planned by Giorgia was nothing short of amazing. She planned a very throughout itinerary that helped guide me day to day. The hotel Color Navano was cute and perfect. There were lots to do around it. I would skip the food tour next time as I didn’t find it that enjoyable and could have spent my evening dinning anywhere. The colosseum tour with Liv Tours is a must. It was our favorite thing we did in Rome. In Sorrento I do wish we could have stayed in a hotel closer to the center since there were alot of other closer options in our price range. Hotel Florida is very far (45 minute incline walk) to the ferry and 30 minute walk to the center. The 8 hour Amalfi coast tour was very long and I don’t think the description was accurate because I thought the guide would show us around but it’s basically just a private driver to 3 cities where the driver drops you off and tells you to meet back up in 1.5 hours. The private drivers were a life saver every time we have them since taxis and Ubers are not as easily accessible. Overall Kimkim did a great job of having their employees be available 24/7 for any issue we had. I would 1000 percent recommend them and would never go on a trip without them!

I cannot recommend this company enough. We had the most seamless experience visiting both Rome and the Amalfi coast this July. Our planners Gabriele and Elisa paid attention to every detail, ordering cars, train tickets, and ferries, and also planning excursions that fit our goals for our trip. The communication and teamwork was excellent to make our trip as perfect as possible. Our transfer service via private car arrived early for us every time and always got us where we needed to go with complimentary water bottles ready for us. We felt like we got to see and experience almost all of the most beautiful things in both Rome and the Amalfi coast. Our planners were extremely flexible when trying to make adjustments that fit our budget, so don’t be afraid to ask for edits when they send you ideas for your trip.

Highlights from our trip and things we would recommend are: A vespa tour around Rome (you have a driver and it’s so fun and quick to see the city this way), cooking class in Rome, seeing the Colosseum (we didn’t go in, but still amazing) and St. Peter’s Basilica (free entry, go early for a short line). In Amalfi coast we loved staying in our slow, family friendly town of Maiori, touring Pompeii, and taking the ferry to other cities on the coast. They made everything so easy. Definitely plan your trip with KimKim!

Hotel Reviews

Hotel Panorama

Maiori

Hotel panorama was a cute hotel in the middle of a family friendly town. We loved the quietness and we thought that the hotel was comfortable. The rooms are cute, very minimal decoration and our window wasn’t able to open because we overlooked the roof. The lighting could be a little bit better in there and the TV was a standard one with channels only in Italian. It was a very nice location to the beach, but you do have to pay to get an umbrella and chairs. The pool area had a few sets of chairs in the pool is small and shallow. The workers were so friendly and helpful and all the food we had in the area was amazing. We loved playing cards on the rooftop terrace and grabbing a drink while looking out at the view.

Hotel Modigliani

Roma

We enjoyed our stay at hotel Modigliani. The location was central to walk to everything, we did not buy a single taxi when in Rome. It was nice that it was tucked away in a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. The beds were a little hard and our shower door was missing, The breakfast was pretty small with not a lot of selection. Otherwise, the front desk was always available and helpful.

Activity Reviews

Arrivederci, Italy!

Italy

Our drivers were amazing our whole time in Italy. Spend the extra money to get private transfers.

Private guided tour of Pompeii

Italy

Pompei was a very good experience with a very experienced and kind tour guide. It was beautiful and we would recommend viewing it with an in person tour guide such as Ivan who was so kind rather than with the headphones.

Market Tour & Cooking Class

Rome

This was a super fun experience. We did the five hour tour where we got to go to the market and pick up food for the meals and then we got to cook a five course meal. But the food quality was amazing and we learned a lot! They even send you all the recipes to take home with you!

Vespa Tour with Food Tasting

Rome

This is our favorite experience throughout our time in Italy. Our two guides were so kind and intentional. We got to drink wine and eat cheese in a cave, which was a super cool experience. It was the best way to see the city, hands-down. We got to see so many things and a beautiful view of the entire city. We felt safe the entire time which was initially a worry for us. They ask where you have and haven’t been and made us a list of places to go on a Rome map. So kind! It was so fun and we’d highly recommend.

Guided Walking Tour of Rome

Rome

Mauricio made this tour so fun and intentional. We were pretty tired from a long day of travel, but he met us where we were at. He took us to get gelato and showed us the pantheon Trevi fountain, Piazza Navona, and the Spanish steps. He also took pictures for us and gave us a history of each spot

Limoncello Experience & Tasting

Italy

Quality of Experience

Kind of felt a little rushed. Didn’t get to do a lot, just watched and tasted.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Kind, cared about his product.

Transport

So many stairs. It said this activity was walkable, but this was a whole workout.

I really liked the food tour in Bologna but I did not like the tour in Milan.
