Our Travel Story & Testimonials
My husband and I recently took a trip to Venice, Florence Tuscany and Rome. We do not like touring with a large group of people and enjoy discovering areas on our own. I tried planning this myself and found it overwhelming.
I came across Kate at MultiCityTrips. I discussed with Kate things we would like to do, areas we would like to see, and things we felt we did not want to do very much of. Within a short amount of time, Kate presented us with a full itinerary. There were only a couple of changes we made, and Kate had some very thoughtful and helpful suggestions for us, since we had never traveled to Italy before. She quickly finalized our itinerary.
I cannot stress enough how easy she made our entire trip. Immediately after getting our luggage in Italy, we were greeted by someone with my name on a whiteboard. They took us to a water taxi, which was waiting for us. We walked past lines and lines of people who were waiting for their water taxis.
From the train tickets to the accommodations everything felt first class without first class prices. We had one of the only hotels in our area with a balcony overlooking the Duomo and a Central Square. What a special feeling, having breakfast and cappuccino on the only balcony.
Kate set up wine, tastings, and lunches at the most beautiful wineries. We did have a couple of very small group tours.
Those tour guides were always early and waiting for us. We had a private driver one day taking us to very small villages. Again, he was early and waiting for us. We never waited for anyone, never waited in lines.
Kate was available to us 24/7 if we needed anything or had any issues. Which we did not. She texted every night to ask how our day was and to remind us what we had planned for the next day.
Our trip was custom planned exactly the way we wanted it. We will definitely use their service in the future, and would highly recommend them for any trip planning.
I don’t know how Kate ordered the perfect weather for us while we were there, but she did!!! GRAZIE I can’t wait to see what is in store for us next time.
