We had a wonderful time during our trip. The boutique hotels (and attached restaurants) were excellent. We particularly enjoyed our guides in Assisi (Ms. Cinzia) and Rome (Ms. Simona). Weather was perfect all week, except for one rainy afternoon in Gubbio. Italians were all very friendly during our trip. We enjoyed the food and wine during our trip. Your representatives were on-time and helpful.

We were disappointed in Arezzo as it was Sunday, as the shops were closed, and churches had morning mass. We did not make it to Cortona.

GPS was amazing, could not have driven the routes without it, although a few times, it directed us in one way city centers! It was also a little confusing on where to drop the car off at the Rome train station.

In retrospect, we should have stayed in Rome one additional day as there is so much to see.

Thank you again.

Dear Jeff and Sue,

I'm thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time during your trip. Your appreciation for the hotels, restaurants, and guides in Assisi and Rome brings me so much joy.

It's a shame about the rainy afternoon in Gubbio and not being able to visit Cortona, but that gives you something to look forward to next time.

I'm glad you enjoyed the food and wine, and that our representatives were helpful and punctual throughout the trip, and that the GPS was helpful despite a few small hiccups. It's a valuable tool for navigating the roads.

Rome is a city full of endless wonders, and I completely understand the desire to explore it even more. I apologize for the inconvenience of the drop-off car.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your adventure. Your happiness and satisfaction mean everything to me.

Wishing you all the best,

Grazie mille

Caterina
