Here's How We Make it Happen!

- Start by signing up for the Italy Adagio Planning service. (Contact Us.) Then we'll get right to work.
- You'll receive an email with a specially prepared questionnaire to fill out and return. Your completed questionnaire will create a fuller picture of your interests, preferences, "must-haves", "must-not-haves", and overall budget.
- Once you've returned the completed questionnaire, we will set up a convenient time to talk by phone (usually about 30-45 minutes) to help clarify any outstanding questions either of us may have.

My wife and I love Italy and have traveled there several times. By far the one trip we enjoyed the most was organized from the moment we arrived at the Venice airport until the day we left, some 11 days later, by Daniel Lesnick. Every travel guide, hotel, and driver he provided for us was top rate. A beautiful trip!

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.
