Holiday Italian Wonders
Read Time 7 Minutes
Traveller  Cayla - Marvellous Escapes Client

Marvellous Escapes client Cayla recalls her recent experience on a Marvellous Escapes Italy Rail Holiday to celebrate her mum's birthday! 

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE MOMENT/HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP?

I enjoyed the tour of Florence, but the Capri tour was an absolute blast. There's something truly delightful about being on the water.

WHICH DESTINATION(S) SURPRISED YOU THE MOST AND WHY?

Rome was the most surprising destination. I didn't expect to find imperial Rome situated right next to the Colosseum.

FAVOURITE ACTIVITY OR EXCURSION?

Favorite activity was Capri tour and going in the lift to the highest point of the island. Followed by the boat tour and swimming around the island.

FAVOURITE FOOD FROM THE TRIP?

It's difficult to pick a favourite because every dish was incredibly delicious. The variety and quality of the food made the entire culinary experience unforgettable.

BEST/STAND-OUT SERVICE YOU RECEIVED DURING THE TRIP...

Everyone I met was kind and respectful, but Marvellous Escapes truly stood out with their exceptional service. When I was given the wrong tour time for Florence, they went above and beyond to correct the mistake. I have to mention the staff in Florence, who made my mother's birthday unforgettable with a special surprise.

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS TRIP TO YOUR CLIENTS/FRIENDS/FAMILY?

I've already recommended this Italy tour to my friends and family. I enjoyed Marvellous Escapes so much that I'm now planning a trip to Thailand with them for my 30th birthday next year.

HOW WOULD YOU SUMMARISE YOUR TRIP IN ONE SENTENCE?

I didn’t want to leave!

WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE TRAVELLING BY RAIL?

The first day of navigating the train schedule was a bit confusing, but I quickly got the hang of it. Once onboard, everything was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of business class.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE ACCOMMODATION AND WHY?

Every one of our hotels was absolutely stunning. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be Hotel Berchielli in Florence. Our room featured a terrace, stairs leading to the bed, and two bathrooms.

WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE OF BOOKING WITH MARVELLOUS ESCAPES?

An absolutely PHENOMENAL experience! And will be using their services again.
