Would do again.

Italy | Jun 1 - Jun 10, 2022

Older hotel, but that was the draw for us. It was very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful. The location was great, easy walking to anything needed.

The hotel location was excellent. Staff, especially concierge, was very helpful. The restaurant, on the main floor, was probably the only downside. The food itself was very tasty, but the breadth of offerings were limited.

Location was ok, though right across from the embassy row - which while we were there had alarms going on during one night. Obviously not the fault of the hotel. The location is such that, with a little walking, you can get to most any of the most popular sights. The restaurant offered excellent food with a good amount of choice. Staff throughout the hotel was helpful and friendly.

Two things on this trip really stand out: our driver, and the stop at the working dairy farm. The cities of Montepulciano and Pienza were scenic, and laid back. Even though there were a good amount of people in both. Our driver pointed out many sites along the way and answered questions as we went. He was friendly and fun to hang out with. The visit to the dairy farm allowed us to meet another great individual in the owner. He was down to earth and real. The food (cheese and meat sampling) was amazing! I would go back to this location in a heartbeat.

The small group aspect of this was helpful. There was a lot of people going through these sites that day, and the guide was able to work through it all. We were in a small group of 6, and caught all the areas and art.

Very much a "tourist must do" type of thing. What really makes this is if you get a helpful gondolier. Ours was, and it made the ride even better.

Our guide was amazing! The food was amazing! It was a lot of fun, overall.

Our guide was one of the most knowledgeable individuals I have ever met. We gained so much information on St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge Palace. It was a long afternoon, but very much worth it.

A great guide made this a great experience. The knowledge shared was excellent. We saw some of the most famous art/sculpture in the world. The "skip the line" tickets are the way to go.

This was one of my favorite things to do while in Florence. The instructors were fun, helpful, great, overall. The class was easy going and had a fun atmosphere. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

This small group was of 4, which really helped. The sites speak for themselves, but the guide added to the information with her knowledge. The only drawback was we had to meet up with larger groups in order to process tickets. This seemed like an oversight in logistics planning, that did cause some issues, but overall things were handled well.
