Hey Lindsay,
Now that Ben and I have gotten back to reality from our Italy travels, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for helping us plan a fabulous trip. We had such a good time and loved everything about Italy. For the most part the trip went very smoothly (just a couple hiccups) and was everything we could have hoped for.
I appreciate all your knowledge, advice and recommendations. In particular, the private tour guides we had were fantastic and worth every penny. I only wish we had stuck with your original suggestion of having the private tour in Rome instead of going cheaper and picking the Night Tour (which was probably our least favorite tour and not a great experience).
In hindsight there were a couple things I would have changed, like taking an extra day in Matera, but for the most part we loved the choices we made. Every city was beautiful and special in its own way and interestingly very unique from one another. Its amazing how each place we visited had a completely different vibe and we loved each place for different reasons.
I can’t say enough good things about our trip and am already planning our next trip in my mind. Thanks again for everything, it definitely was a trip of a lifetime and will forever be in our memories.
