Our Trip to Rome Florence and Assisi
We would highly recommend Ciao Italy in planning your trip to Italy! This was our first trip to Italy from the USA and my husband’s first trip to Europe. Our driver was there to meet us at the airport upon arrival pointing out different sites along the way to our hotel. Trains and schedules were easy to follow. Our tours and guides were fantastic! Each guide was a native to the area we visited and gave us the experience of living like a local. And each tour provided us with a taste of the different sections of Rome. And all guides were experts in what they were showing us. Highlights include Vatican Museums and all the significant pieces of art. By explaining the Sistine Chapel before we went in we could experience it with the silence and respect one should do when entering this Chapel. Our guide to the Uffizi in Florence was a native to Florence and an art history major and her expertise and knowledge of the various paintings and rooms brought those pictures to life. The guides navigated us through all the construction for the jubilee and still were able to show us all the Piazzas and Fountains. The cooking class was phenomenal and gave us hands on experience of shopping in the market for our ingredients as well as making the food. He even treated us to breakfast as we walked to the cooking studio! We can’t wait to return to Italy and will definitely be using Ciao Italy to plan our next visit!!!🇮🇹❤️😃
