Italy | Oct 12 - Oct 19, 2025

We had an amazing trip, visiting multiple cities in just a week. Starting in Milan we had a walking tour of the city with Emanuela, who was fantastic. If we had realized how beautiful the city was and how much there was to see, we might have stayed another day! But we headed off to Venice for 2 days, which was even more amazing. Eleanora was our guide for a tour of St. Mark's Basilica and Doge Palace, and she was exceptional. Venice was incredible and we loved it! Then we headed down to Rome for several days and enjoyed tours with Sonia (walking tour of the Pantheon on one day and the Colosseum and Roman Forum on another day) and Arianna (Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel). Those guides were so knowledgeable and informative, and the city of Rome was so incredible, with so much history and beautiful art! We then headed up to Florence (all of our travels were by train, which was so easy and comfortable). We only stayed a day in Florence, although it is deserving of many days to see all beauty, and then we were driven on a day trip to Pisa and up the coast. We stopped in Forte Dei Marmi and Portofino for food and drinks before heading to the Genoa train station for a train ride back to Milan. We departed the following day back to USA and can't wait to visit Italy again! Overall, the planning of our trip by Andrea was perfect. The boutique hotels in each city were excellent, as were the tour guides, train trips, transfers, and drivers. Kimkim and especially Andrea did a superb job and are highly recommended!
