We are a group of 6 in our early 30s, most married, and business working professionals who need a nice vacation before some of start thinking about starting a family. We want to visit Rome, Milan, Florence in about 12 days. Since it's our first time, we want to visit the major sites, do some serious outlet shopping, and enjoy some fine dining, and maybe visit some special experiences like visiting a winery or taking an italian cooking class, etc. We would sincerely appreciate a referral to someone who can plan all of this out for us and guide us all over Italy. We are definitely willing to pay for a great experience since we don't get to travel as much as we'd like to. We would like to stay at nicer hotels, ideally some with elevators. Thanks in advance!!

If you want to plan your own trip start by going to www.venere.com. This is the italian version of Hotels.com. Here I found the Hotel Constantini in the center of Florence, where with $50 per person per night we had breakfast included (keep in mind we went in November - low season).
In Rome, Hotel Tirreno is a good one to stay in.
Petrillo Tours is an all inclusive tour operator and certainly a great place if you do not wish to worry about the details.
Try Cantalupo Tours also www.cantalupotours.com who are very highly rated.
And here is another option for you. A bit on the expensive side but their itineraries are quite extensive and their affiliations impressive.

My friends just completed a once in a lifetime trip to Italy that sounds much like what you want, and they used the agency listed below. I know that they stayed in first rate hotels, and in one place had a view of the Mediterranean Sea that they will remember forever. You may want to at least contact this well established company, and maybe they could give you an idea of what is available out there. Have a great trip!

...I'm sorry I can't help you with a guide, but why don't you consider to visit Venice instead of Milan? MIlan is so sad...Otherwise, you could visit a city in the south of Italy....! For what concer Rome, it's one of the most beautifull town of the world (I'm from there). Florence too it is a very beautifull town too!
Enjoy your trip!

in case you prefer to spend time mutually, do not pass on a excursion. My kinfolk is going there this spring ruin. VENICE, rome, (according to danger dolamites),FLORENCE, and a super sort of different places are good. look in excursion books that are specialy for no super crowds, make a catalogue of issues you extremely desire to do, and choose what cities have the main issues you prefer to do. a number of the failings that do entice super crowds are a number of the excuses why maximum folk pass to Italy. they're high-quality, in basic terms make certain you may get in. Do you vacationer issues, and then pass consume at between the restaraunts the locals consume at, get to comprehend them, this is the better area of anyplace in my view. (if this transformation into submited 2, sorry) Milan is super for procuring, high priced this is. in my view, the only subject that sounds interesting there is the final Supper, which you would be able to make reservations like a 365 days beforehand. Milan is okay, yet we are in basic terms going there on account that's the place we fly in from London (if flights to London, and so on are extra economical, take them because of the fact then you definately get to spend it sluggish in that u . s . a . and the flights from there to love milan are affordable) Pisa is cool, take my suggestion. additionally, you will could make reservations for the city the place your flying into or out of yet leave something for once you get to that city. yet it ought to look a splash risky, it is nice becuase in case you get someplace and you're saying "this stinks" yet you're staying there for 3 days, you would be bored and once you get to the subsequent city and you extremely like it, yet you're in basic terms staying there for a million night, you would be wishing your resrvation replace into longer. do not cut back your self to reservations, you by no skill comprehend how lots you will like a city. good good fortune!!!!!
