Monica at Avventure Bellissima really took care of all my trip planning needs on my recent trip to Italy. I had arranged my flights, but she arranged everything else. I let her know what cities I wanted to visit and we discussed the schedule. She took care of arranging all transfers via private car, hotels, and tours. Her suggestions for places to stop en route between cities were a great way to include more of Italy in our itinerary. It was wonderful to be able to just enjoy my vacation and not stress over anything. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to plan a trip through them again. Even my skeptical husband loved how stress free it was for us! My trip encompassed a month of travel for me, with my sister for the first half and husband the second half. We visited Rome, Siena, Florence, Venice, Asolo, Verona, Bellagio and Milan with overnight stays . All hotels were 4 star or better. Most of the tours were private tours, which was great to be able to have the details at our pace. The drivers were all very professional and prompt (some were very chatty and loved to tell us about what we were driving through and that was fantastic!).

The 14 day package gave us a snapshot of all of the highlights Italy had to offer and now we know exactly where we'll go when it's time to revisit!
