I want to thank you for your assistance in planning the 7 day portion of our trip to Italy!  Your hotel recommendations were in perfect locations and lovely hotels.  Our highlights were 2 of the tours you set up for us.  Honestly I couldn't tell you which one we loved most!  KMZero provided an outstanding private tour to a small Tuscany winery for pasta making and wine tasting.  They picked us up from our hotel in Florence and brought us to the winery and 2 other lovely quaint towns.  Our driver/guide was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant.  The second tour was out of Naples with Frederica/Mind the Nap was also fabulous!  We spent the day in the Amalfi coast area, splitting our time between Ravello and Myoria. Frederica is SO knowledgeable about the history of the entire region and was truly a pleasure to spend the day with her and her driver.

All of the other recommendations you made about what to see, what to eat and where to go were spot on!!  thank you so much for working with us, i will definitely recommend you to anyone going to Italy!  Thank you so much.

Marilyn created an itinerary for us when my daughter was coming from NY for a visit. We were living in Parma at the time but wanted to show Kim the Italian Riviera.

She helped me with train trickets, airport lodging, and our 5 day stay in Rapallo.  While I did the bookings myself, I appreciated all the options she gave me. Our stay in Rapallo was fantastic and Marilyn met the 3 of us there since she lives in Chiavari, just a short train ride away. We spent the day seeing the sights and enjoying Rapallo.

An added plus is that Marilyn and I became close friends and we ended up moving to Rapallo 6 months later! I would highly recommend the services of Marilyn Ricci and TAKE ME HOME ITALY to anyone seeking expert travel planning experience.

The trip to Italy was fabulous!  The hotels that you picked out for the entire trip were very comfortable and modern.  In addition, the hotels were located in close proximity to the sites, buses, taxis which made getting everywhere very efficient.

The trip to the family in Fragneto L’Abate was unforgettable!  It was so nice to relax knowing you knew where we were going and had set up the times and transportation for the entire weekend!

I really appreciated that you were able to make reservations to several major sites ahead of our trip. Having tickets to get in early to the Vatican was awesome; to be able to enjoy the splendor of the Sistine Chapel before the multitudes arrived was great.  You also had reserved tickets for several other museums, like the Uffizzi and Academia. That ensured we would not be wasting precious times waiting in line.

Thank you so much for the memorable trip!  Very well thought out, great accommodations, transportation and access to the best attractions!
