TRAVEL WITH SOMEONE YOU TRUST®
REFLECTIONS OF ITALY
TRAVEL

In March 2016, I had the opportunity to tour
the beautiful country of Italy with a group of
18 guests. Upon arrival in Rome, we were met by AAA Member Choice Vacations, a professionally escorted tour company. From that point on a
AAA Member Choice Vacations tour guide brought us around the country by motor coach.
During our time in Rome we were able to see
and tour the top attractions. We came to know the history and traditions of Rome. Piazza Venezia, the circus maximus, Arch of Constantine, the famous Piazza Navona. We visited the Coliseum and finished with the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. During our
time touring we never waited in line for entrance tickets or worried about being lost; everything ran smoothly. If I was on my own, I never would have seen and toured all of this in two nights. Our tour guide made sure we had time at all locations while still having free time to ourselves to enjoy a nice meal, shop and explore more.
After Rome we continued our journey to Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis. We took a walking tour of the charming old city. Then we were off to Perugia.
The Piazza Novembre is
one of the grandest squares
in Italy. Next we arrived in
Florence, the “cradle of the
Italian Renaissance.” While
here we visited the world
famous Academy Gallery
to see Michelangelo’s
incredible statue of David.
During our culture tour of
Florence, we viewed the
Cathedral of Santa Maria del
Fiore, the Palazzo Vecchio
and the Church of Santa
Croce. This is also a great
city for dining and shopping
for leather and jewelry. Next we visited a historic winery in the heart of the chianti region. We learned about the winery’s famed Tuscan wines and local specialties. The views here are breathtaking!
Next up, the island of Venice. During our time here we boarded a boat bound for Murano Island
for an up-close glass- making demonstration. When we returned to Venice we toured the
lively St Mark’s Square, the Doge’s Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the clock tower. We then took a wonderful gondola ride while being serenaded by our gondolier!
Lastly, we went to Milan. We toured the city’s amazing sights on a locally guided tour including the Duomo (this magnificent Gothic cathedral is the third largest church in Europe), the opera house and Vittorio Emanuele Gallery.
