Reviews have helped!
Before going to Italy, I decided to use the Internet and arm myself with information. I've probably read all the reviews that could be. I want to say thank you to everyone who writes! – you get more real information than the agencies give. Of course, everyone has different tastes, but in general you get the real picture.
I didn’t have to choose - they gave me a vacation at the end of November and I, with my girlfriends, colleagues at work, decided to go to Italy. None of us have been there yet (there was only one man in our company, the husband of one of her friends). It turned out that November is a very good month to go on excursions, it is not hot and there are fewer tourists. It’s a pity that you couldn’t swim, it’s doubly offensive when you know that the sea is 100 meters away, but shopping compensated for everything. And now everything is in order:
1) Flight: We flew with Siberia, the flight was delayed for 6 hours, but Belis from Dutti Free helped pass the wait. And as it turned out later, Domodedovo Airport is beyond any competition, in comparison with the small airport of Rimini
2) Hotel: We chose Biancomano because of the location and were not disappointed. The hotel lives up to its claimed three stars. Plus, delicious cuisine and friendly staff who keep the rooms clean and change towels regularly.
3) Excursions: Based on the reviews, we found Alexander's phone, but he said that he had a group, and only an individual trip was possible, and kindly gave us the bodies of the girl Alla, who organizes individual excursions. A comfortable car with TVs, which was completely at the disposal of only our company, and the guide told only us and accompanied us around the city all the time that we were there. We went to Venice, Florence and Rome. And the prices are quite reasonable, for five of us it turned out to be only 10 euros more expensive than regular excursions on large buses, but the service cannot be compared. (Alla + 3.3284710379)
4) Venice: Of all the cities we have visited, this is perhaps the most unusual, even a little unrealistic. Despite the fact that it was drizzling, Venice did not become less attractive because of this, on the contrary, where else can you see so much water! I advise you to definitely visit the Church of San Marco, especially since admission to it is free. Plus, we also bought fruits and Murano glass jewelry for souvenirs.
5) Florence: This is where the real shopping is, among the beautiful monuments there are a lot of shops with all kinds of brands. And when you see the Church of Santa Maria Del Fiori, it simply takes your breath away.
6) Rome: City of history. It is very difficult to cover everything in one day, but you can see the most important thing. Before the trip, friends asked to send them a postcard from the Vatican by regular mail. Opposite St. Peter's Cathedral there are several shops with souvenirs and illuminated crosses and icons, and between them there is a mailbox. They say it's a good omen, like rubbing the nose of a boar in Florence.
7) Shopping: We liked the shops in Riccione and Florence the most. We went to Outletam, but everything is old there. In Milan they said it was expensive and we didn't go there
Impression of the holiday: Italy is a wonderful country, amazing with its history and there is a lot left that we have not seen yet. But there will be a reason to come back again!
