great location due to connection to the Rome airport.

Beautiful place to stay and experience. Wonderful way to end a trip.

I rated a 4 due to no small refrigerator in the room to use. Also bathroom products (soap, lotion etc) were limited and the hair dryer was difficult to use due it being a very cheap model.

The hotel was so very nice. Great attention to detail, products for guests to use and location was great. Breakfast was wonderful. .

Staff were so very helpful. A wonderful breakfast was included. Loved the location near the Pantheon, Trevi fountain and Navona Piazza.

I always enjoying taking a tour when visiting a new city. Our guide, Giulia, made our tour interesting and fun. She shared information about the Palio di Siena as we walked around Siena. We had the opportunity to learn more about Siena but also about this historic race. This made our tour quite a bit of fun and it felt like we had insider information about the race.

A wonderful tasty and fun evening. Valentina was a great guide. She shared many locations in Bologna with interesting information and good food and wine. This is a tour to definitely go on.

My husband and I really enjoyed this class. Luca was the chef who led the class. He did a great job explaining the meal preparation and how to's of making pasta. The meal we prepared was later served to us in the restaurant and was delicious.

A very fun day. Our driver was knowledgeable about the wine region, wine and the wineries we visited. The lunch served at our second was awesome. We enjoyed all of the wineries.

We enjoyed driving through the Tuscany countryside. Beautiful views and towns. I would have liked to have spent a little more time in the towns to walk around. The farm lunch was wonderful. So nice to meet the farmer and his wife. An excellent meal was served to us. Directly following the meal, we went to a town and had a wine tasting. It would have been nice to have the wine tasting a bit later as it was too soon after just finishing a meal with wine.

Very interesting tour. My husband and I enjoyed it. Our guide Thomas was knowledgeable and wanted to be sure we enjoyed the tour. Our farm lunch was awesome.

Our guide from Bespoke Emila was very knowledgeable and made the time go by quickly. I am so sorry but I do not recall name. He was very interesting and made sharing his information fun. We had a very nice lunch together at the end of our tour.

Simply stunning views in an incredible location with the most hospitable, friendly, and accommodating staff I have ever encountered.

Excellent however a bit long at nearly 2.5 hours, perhaps would shorten to 1.5 hours.

This hotel was close to the Old Town with a variety of restaurants near by.

The Masseria Grieco was a beautiful spot that unfortunately we only had one night at. The staff were very nice and the restaurant for dinner was outside with a unique menu each night.

Staying in a hotel built into a cave was a highlight of our trip! The staff here were very helpful and the included breakfast, very tasty, was presented to our table in small plates of a variety of foods. Such fun! A great location with many restaurants within easy walking distance. A unique experience!

Hotel La Bussola was in a good location, a little bit away from the main shopping area but close enough to easily walk to. The hotel restaurant had a beautiful view and was good quality.

Hotel Continental was very nice and in a good location. Breakfast had a wide variety of food available.

A small boutique hotel, the Palazzo Venere was perfect. It is well located, within easy walking distance to sights and restaurants. All of the people we met were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast, particularly for such a small hotel, had a wide variety of foods and held something for everyone. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Visiting this site is a very emotional experience. Hearing about the daily lives of the people of Pompeii and imagining their horror as the Volcano erupted is difficult. A visit not easily forgotten.

Another hidden gem in the Puglia area. Ostuni is called "la cotta Bianca" which means white town. A lovely town.

Visiting this winery with Mt. Vesuvius in the background was amazing. The wine tasting with lunch was a highlight of the trip.

The Masseria wine tasting and lunch was a wonderful experience. The wine was very good and the lunch delicious. We wish we had more time in this location.

We enjoyed the tour of old Bari with its maze of alleyways and the Saint Nicola Cathedral. A highlight was the Nonnas making orecchiette pasta from scratch on the street!

Walking through historic Rome with a knowledgable guide is an unbelievable experience. We learned so much from our experienced tour leader, I wish I could remember ever word she said.

The trulli houses of Alberobello are truly exceptional with their conical roof shaped buildings.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the summer residence of the Pope. The Secret Garden was lovely and the tour of the palace was very interesting. Gandolfo is a nice town.

A delightful town with whitewashed buildings atop rolling hills.

Visiting this church with it's three levels of history is amazing. You'll find a 12 century basilica, a 4th century church below it and, deep below ruins of ancient Roman buildings.

The tour covers about 3km with some uneven walking. Be prepared for the many, many stairs on the way out!

The Sassi of Matera - a UNESCO World Heritage site is an amazing place, with buildings build into the rock of the canyon walls. Truly an experience you shouldn't miss.

A lovely way to see the whole island. Frank, our driver, did a great job of manuvering around all the other water traffic!

We sampled a variety of local foods. Luca, our guide, was from the area and introduced us to some new tastes - I'd never had potato pizza before!

A smooth ride over to Capri.

What can you say about visiting the Vatican, St. Peter's and the Sistine Chapel other than it is a must see when in Rome.
