Italy Travel Agent Specialist

Italy Galore!

   My first trip to Europe was to Italy.  As the plane was trying to land all of a sudden the pilot came on and said " I need to abort landing!". Well what a start to my first big adventure!  We later found out a farmer's livestock had gone astray across the strip preventing the landing. Wow that really perked of my adrenaline and that was just the first of those episodes! I decided to take a taxi to my hotel and my the aborted landing was nothing compared to that taxi ride! I arrived safely to my hotel and was pleased with accommodations. I had a great view of the Coliseum and shops and restaurants were all walking distance to my hotel. 

   A journey to remember. There’s a magic to Italy that words almost fail to capture, but I’ll try. From the moment I landed in Rome, I was swept up in a whirlwind of ancient ruins, vibrant street life, and mouth watering food. Every corner seemed to hold a story, every piazza a secret waiting to be discovered. I wandered through the alleys of Venice, where the melody of gondoliers echoed off the pastel buildings and the canals shimmered in the afternoon light. In Florence, I lost myself among masterpieces at the many museums and climbed to Piazzale Michelangelo for a sunset that set the whole city aglow. But perhaps the true heart of Italy lies in the small moments: sharing laughter with strangers over a plate of pasta in a family-run trattoria, getting lost in the winding streets of Siena, and watching the sun dip below the vineyards in Tuscany while enjoying a glass of wine. Italy isn’t just a place to visit, but a feeling..a beautiful blend of art, history, and joy that lingers long after the trip ends.

   Since that first trip i have gone back many times. I hosted a rail trip from Pisa to Florence. The trains are an economical and lovely way to travel around Italy. They have Wi-Fi, refreshment stations and comfy seats. You must try at less one time. Girl's trip toured the Grand Canal sailing under the oldest and iconic Rialato Bridge stopping for shopping at the many shops nestled along the canals.  Pick up some of the beautiful handmade Carnival mask or Murano glass creation. Pompeii is a remarkably preserved site of ruins. Ancient Roman city buried under ash and pumice by Mount Vesuvius;s eruption in 79 AD.  Frozen in time, the city offers insights into Roman life, including houses, baths and haunting plaster cast of victims.  There were cats and dogs all around and I learned people leave their animals there while traveling! You will be awed by the House of the Vetti and the Faun, notable for their size, decorations and luxurious layouts.
