Zach suggested a tandem, which we had not considered, and we took advantage and had our best day in Rome. The day prior, I went on the four hour Appian Way tour with Anna and she gave a great tour, and I had what may have been my favorite gelato stop. Their electric assist bikes are really powerful and the tandem bikes, while not electric, were fine for two so-so fit persons. Don't pass up the opportunity to bike Rome!

After refueling with lunch, we saw the Forum and the Pantheon again plus biked up to the Capitoline Museum with beautiful views during the sunset, the Mouth of Truth, and the Spanish Steps at night. It was not boring through the jovial guide Simone. He's not only kid friendly but a kid at heart. The children were excited, energized, learned and retained more through his stories! We saw the same sights from angles you can reach only by bike or foot. Everything felt so up close and personal. I thought it would be scary - weaving through the streets of Rome. But Simone watched my beginner 10 year old biker like a hawk and made sure the rest of us followed suit. He turned onto quiet picturesque streets whenever he could. And to top it off - he's a great photographer! And gladly took family photos of us. I think we have our family holiday card photo!

"My 4 siblings and I just returned from taking our 83 year old mother on her dream trip to Italy…read more She wanted to experience Rome, Venice, Sorrento, and Capri in just a short 12 day vacation window. One would think this would be quite a challenge with these destinations being far apart, especially with the needs of an aging parent. Casa Mia Tours took this challenge head on. Gina, Eleanora and Carolyn gave so much of their time to consult with us about every detail: must see's, train itineraries and tickets, personal van transfer services, restaurants recommendations and reservations, personal tour guides, wine and food tours/tastings, ferry schedules, best spots for desserts and espresso, best walking and shopping neighborhoods, and so much more. Casa Mia Tours created a detailed itinerary for each day of our trip- from where we might want to eat to the schedule of our trains rides and van pick up to our tours for the day. Once we got to Italy, Casa Mia was available to lend a hand in any way to help make our experience as enjoyable as possible. They even helped with an unexpected trip to the ER with our mom! The personalized service from Casa Mia Tours is top notch, 5 stars, the best! Our family memories of this once-in-a-lifetime trip will be with us all forever. Thank you, Casa Mia Tours (Carolyn, Eleanora and Gina) for making this dream trip a reality for all of us, especially our mom. "

If you are planning a trip to Italy, you must consult with Casa Mia and arrange as many activities…read morewith them as possible. They are a one stop shop for everything including food itineraries, cooking classes, food tours and experiences. The thing I love most about this company is that they take time to listen to what you're looking for and cater to exactly what you want. I have taken 2 food tours with Gina and she is extremely knowledgeable and was able to take us to some of the best places for coffee, sweets, cheese, wine, snacks and pizza in Rome. She also booked us dinner reservations at places that are authentic and difficult to reserve. You will never find yourself at a tourist trap as long as you consult with Casa Mia. We also booked a private transfer from the Naples train station to our hotel in Sorrento with them and their driver was on time, easy to locate and extremely friendly. I took a private cooking class in Sorrento with Marcella in her home and it was the best lesson I have ever taken. I learned how to make delicious food and after the lesson, my family joined us to eat the meal we prepared in one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen in my life. We took a private tour of the Amalfi coast and our driver took us to so many beautiful cities. He made us lunch reservations at a restaurant with the most stunning views of Amalfi that served food created with ingredients grown in their private organic garden located below the restaurant. At each stop, he provided us with recommendations of where to visit in each town. Casa Mia also provided us with recommendations of places to buy food souvenirs, find artisanal gelato, tasty street food and pizzerias in each city we have visited. Do not plan a trip to Italy without consulting with these experts. They will help make sure you have the best time in the most beautiful country in the world. If you are not planning a trip to Italy in the near future, I also highly recommend their online cooking classes. I took many of them during the lockdown in 2020 and learned how to make delicious meals for my family.

I had never taken a cooking class, and honestly never even thought about taking one, but he spoke so highly about them that I knew I had to try it out. He was totally right and I'm so glad I didn't miss out on this experience! I had the honor of having Gianni as our teacher. He was so sweet, super funny, and just really made everyone feel comfortable. His awesome personality is really what makes the class extra fun. We started off in the market, and he's like the mayor there. Everyone knows him and it was cool to try sample some of the local foods. The classes are small, which is a big plus! You get individual attention to make sure you're actually doing things correctly. He had two assistants the day I was there; they were really nice and extremely helpful. I really learned a lot of things in this class that I will keep with me throughout life. The whole time we were learning, I kept realizing I had been cooking so many things wrong for so long. The food was delicious! We spent a few hours cooking and then got to enjoy each other's company while we ate our meal. The time flew by so quickly. I actually could have stayed for the second class, lol. Thank you so much for a great experience. You guys absolutely rock.

Everytime I come to Rome I will do this class again as well as tell anyone I know visiting to make sure to get their reservation at Cook with Us in Rome before they plan anything else!

There were so many little details and small stories our historian knew that helped us appreciate all the art and architecture even more. We met our tour guide at 9AM and visited the coliseum and Roman Forman and then walked to the Pantheon. We broke for lunch and then headed to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica where we spent another four hours with her. I would recommend doing this tour only if you have a short time in Rome. It is very pricey and a group tour would be a much thriftier if you have the luxury of time.
