“I am still glowing from my 10 days in Italy; the trip absolutely exceeded my expectations.
The hotels were one of the high points of the trip... they were incredible. I came to Italy for the art – each museum tour accentuated the pieces to be seen; we were not turned loose to explore, we were educated by experts. – Laura Ansley, KS
