Our itinerary was curated with each of our hopes for travel accomplished. Every hotel was beautiful and well located. Transfers worked exactly as described. Each hotel offered breakfasts included and the food was lovely. Restaurant recommendations were reliable and well described. We wanted for nothing! Several occassions we reached out to our local guide for clarification on times and locations and the responses were almost immediate! I would HIGHLY recommend Kim Kim, Giorgia, and the team for future trip design. We visited Paris, Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Polignano a Mare, Alberobella, Ostuni, and more. We enjoyed tours of the Eifel Tower and Paris, and were able to easily meet with local guides. Our flight from Paris to Naples was seamless. Soaked up a local private boat tour to Amalfi and Positano, with a ferry transport for a day in Capri. We picked up a scheduled rental car in Sorrento, driving to Puglia using thoughtful directions. Spent one night and 2 fabulous days in Polignano a Mare - including a boat tour of the local caves. After driving to Ostuni for 3 nights, we visited Alberobello (UNESO site of Trullis), sunned on a local Adriatic Sea beach, savored an private wine and food tasting with a local vineyard and wine maker, and took a orecchiette cooking class. The accommodations were absolutely lovely, with all the amenities we could possible ask for. Locals were warm, kind, and friendly. We came home completely filled with joy about the entire travel experience. Perfecto!
