Fantastic experience

Oct 8, 2014

I spent a month in Italy on this program: 2 weeks in Rome, 5 days in Florence, 5 days in Cinque Terre, and 4 days in Venice. We did all this while living as Italians; no hotels (except in Cinque Terre, where we stay in a mountain sanctuary). We had day trips to Siena, Pisa, Pompeii, Orvieto, and Murano/Burano. We met people and had experiences that there was no way a lone traveler could have done. I had an amazing experience abroad.

What would you improve about this program?
I would love to have spent a bit more time in Venice, but I understand that because it is a very expensive city it would raise the program price.
