Thanks for joining me in this review of our amazing trip to the Italian villages of central and northern Italy. I hope it has inspired you to consider making your own trip there!
Gratzie: I want to express my deep appreciation to Sarah Corfield for her excellent work as our guide. I learned so much from her and she helped to deepen my love for Italy. She made each day of our tour go so smoothly and provided some extras (like our visit to the Florence American Cemetery and the walk in the Tuscan countryside) and some delicious treats! Special thanks go to Mauro for cheerfully and skillfully driving us to our many destinations on this tour.
I want to thank my fellow travelers on this tour. I enjoyed getting to know each of them. Their consideration for making sure we all had a good time was delightful. And, I want to give a special thanks to my tour buddy Roz. We made sure neither of us was ever left behind!
Special appreciation goes to my husband William who enthusiastically agreed to go on this trip on just five weeks notice (all part of our 39-year long, so far, adventure together)!
Finally, I want to thank the people of Italy for so warmly hosting us and for sharing their gorgeous country with us for over two weeks! Gratzie mille!
If you are interested, you can also explore my web scrapbook about a 2016 Rick Steves Your Way tour of Spain here (am experience which I also highly recommend).
I want to close with this great shot of our tour group.
