I cannot say enough good things about this trip. Kimkim's questionnaire process made the planning aspect easy to begin and Arianna handled everything else with excellence. The information given to us beforehand as far as cultural tips, food recommendations, etc. was all so helpful. Once we finally arrived to Italy and began our trip, everything worked out perfectly and my first time traveling abroad could not have been made any easier on myself. All of our reservations went off without a hitch, all drivers were on time, all instructions easy to follow, etc. We were even able to check in early to each accommodation -- a bonus! And each accommodation exceeded our expectations. It is hard to pick out one experience as our favorite... We loved every single one of our tour guides and each big group excursion we did turned out fabulous. Our Italian Travel Ambassador was easily accessible during business hours and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. I loved how she checked in at the end of everyday as well as provide details of the following day's itinerary and important information so that we did not have to frequently check our actual itinerary. I will not travel without Kimkim again!
