Great trip to Italy
Reviewed By 2025 vacation - Centreville, Va | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
Rina arranged everything for us. There were many highlights and funny stories. One highlight was day trip to Pompeii. We had a private car ride down and our tour guide, for just the three of us, was an archeologist who had participated in some of the excavations. Very knowledgeable and fun. Trip to Florence via train was another great highlight. I would recommend anyone doing this make it an overnight effort. We had plenty of time in the Academia to see the statue of David but the Uffizi gallery was rushed. An overnight stay and fresh start there would have been nice. Of course we saw all the sights in Rome with a guided 4 hour tour of the Vatican museums again by a great tour guide. One disappointment was we were bumped from the Sistine Chapel by King Charles of England. First visit by a British monarch in 500 years. We tell everyone we were very gracious and allowed Charles to take our place. Hotel was a four star and located not far from the Termini train station where we were able to board buses and subway. Also, within walking distance of the Diocletian baths and the national museum. The block our hotel was located on had four family-owned restaurants, so we had a wide variety of choices to eat after a long day. We intend to use Rina again later this year as soon as we finalize our destination. Either Germany or a trip to Egypt and down the Nile.

The most incredible trip ever!!!
Reviewed By Maura1172! - Pfafftown, NC | Traveled to Europe
Rina was amazing to work with and truly made the trip incredible. She had fantastic recommendations for restaurants and various locations to check out. I enjoyed the pre planned excursions that she found for us in both London and Ireland! The locations of the hotels were perfect and short walking distances from great restaurants, shops, and sites. I will be using Rina in the future!
