FULL ITINERARY PLANNING
Let me design a one-of-a-kind Italy trip just for you.
I'll put my unique, time-tested and time-proven expertise (38 years crafting Italy tours), 10 years living in Italy, and 35 years teaching and writing about ancient, medieval and Renaissance Italy), to design your once-in-a-lifetime Italy experience. You tell me your ideas for your time in Italy, and then I'll flesh them out and make it all come to life! Your Day-By-Day Itinerary I'll prepare your day-by-day Itinerary, and each day will present at least one structured activity to help make this a trip you'll treasure forever. It could be a walking tour of Florence, including a viewing of Michelangelo's David; exploration of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (Sicily); a private cooking lesson with a master chef in Tuscany; an eye-opening tour of Pompeii; and much, much more. Special Options And we have a bottomless treasure chest of special options to offer you, depending on where your travels take you and what your interests are. A small sampling includes an exclusive after-hours guided tour of Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel; a hot-air balloon ride over the Tuscan countryside at sunrise; a small-group (or private) sight-seeing boat excursion around the legendary Isle of Capri; a private visit to one of Italy's finest late-Renaissance gardens. /
Dan – We are in Rome, our last night. I can't say enough good about our time here!!! The hotel – perfecto! Christine – the best guide ever; like having your own history professor walk you around... The Sistine Chapel night tour – magnificent! Every detail of the trip you planned for us has been fantastic.
