"The trip successful and enjoyable. We loved Bilbao, not only the Guggenheim but also the Miro Hotel. They couldn't have been nicer. We would recommend it highly. Barcelona was fascinating and the guides, Christina, Albert (driver) and Delores, were excellent. The hotel was very well situated for all the sites we wanted to see. Our only complaint was that the hotel was very noisy at night outside our room because many of the guests were inconsiderate. The rooms were very small. On the other hand, the staff was very helpful and pleasant. One major issue and a disappointment was the fact that we had told you that the main reason we wanted to go to Girona was to visit the former Jewish section. However, no one, not you, not the local tour company with whom you dealt, and not our guide did the proper research into the Jewish museum's hours. The local guide was excellent at the Dali museum but did not seem to know much about the Jewish history in Girona. When we arrived at the museum at 3 p.m. we discovered that it closed at 2 p.m. on Sundays. You can imagine our disappointment as the museum is the only place to learn the history. Despite this, we appreciated all your efforts. It was a great trip all around."

"We had a trip of a lifetime. Tim was very flexible in handling the planning of the itinerary. I wanted this to be a special trip for myself and my husband to celebrate our milestone birthdays and have always wanted to visit Italy to experience the sights, culture, food and warmth of the people. Tim was cognizant that my husband’s knees were not the best and so advised on the hotel proximities to the activities and events with that in mind. He also understood that I wanted to do this trip in as cost effective manner as possible and so was flexible when it came to allowing me to utilize our RCI points to book hotels and just advised on location. Tim passed the baton over to Alessio when it came to executing on the itinerary and Alessio did a marvelous job despite the time crunch given the trip was still within busy season of end of Sept - beginning of Oct. A week before the trip, my husband fell and damaged his knee but luckily was able to address this with an orthopedic doctor and we were able to proceed on our dream trip. We visited Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri island, Amalfi Coast, Florence and Lucca and experienced many of the activities and sites through private tours arranged through Amal Italia with the most knowledgeable, accommodating guides who worked together with the transfer personnel to make it all happen seemlessly. On trips to the Vatican, Uffizi Gallery and Pompeii as examples, the tour guides knew exactly how to condense the time spent to focus on the key highlights, telling the history while linking the intricacies and nuances of the artifacts being shown. Whether it was booking a cooking class in Sorento, visit to a vineyard, spa massage in Pompeii or a dinner overlooking the sea, Alessio did his utmost best to make this truly a memorable experience. We would not have been able to cover half the activities on our itinerary were it not for the very professional, flexible, knowledgeable and accommodating help on logistics and events through Amal Italia. Thank you Tim and Alessio for a once in a lifetime experience!"
