The guides were all so knowledgeable and educated us about the Roman empire, the Medici family, the Catholic Church, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, life during the Renaissance, life during the Dark Ages, and everything else. Having the individual guides was definitely the highlight of our trip, and you hired the best guides ever! Overall our trip was absolutely magical and something we will remember for the rest of our lives! Thank you for all of the details you took care of to make this trip happen, including dinner reservations. The meals were all so delicious, and itwas so nice having reservations already made! Many thanks, and I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family! - Michele Joyce Falcone's 10-day Sicily Itinerary
