We loved our whole trip. Everything you planned was wonderful. There would be just a couple things I’d do differently next time. A day or two of rest between days and extending the vacation to 14 days. The walking food tour was too much. The guide was great but having a van or transport back to where we started would have helped a lot to continue to explore on our own. After she left us we could not walk back. I do have health issues but I can keep up. It was still difficult. The only other thing I’d change is if visiting other areas I would not travel back to the original location of possible. I think day trips on a train or just heading to another location is better. Packing much lighter is a skill I need to learn and I learned it on this trip! Barbara was wonderful and amazing. The wine & food tasting was equally amazing. Pisa was ok. Lucca was good! San Gimignano was so great! We love Florence and the food and people are warm and welcoming. Milan was a good experience. The Duomo was beyond fun and terrific. So overall. Thank you kindly for everything Alexandra. We look forward to planning another trip with you. Merry Christmas to you & your family. Warmly, Jennifer Brien
