Meals, restaurants, convenience stores

The trip mainly revolved around visiting the trade fair,
I think it would have been more helpful if suggestions for enjoying meals were provided.
I would have liked to be introduced to restaurants and other establishments near the hotel and trade fair that could be enjoyed during the day and night.
In the end, I had no choice but to sleep at night, and unlike Japan, there were no convenience stores, which felt inconvenient.
What needs improvement is that I would have liked an explanation of such inconveniences beforehand.

We were able to tour Florence very efficiently!

It was my first time touring with a guide, and it was really great because we were able to efficiently visit all the must-see spots!

Through casual conversations, I learned a lot about Italy and Florence.

The hotel we arranged was just as we hoped, and we were able to relax.

I appreciate the scheduling that respected our flexibility and the kind and attentive guidance from the guide.

We were blessed with good weather, and it was truly a great trip.
If I had to say, I think it's a matter of price, but the hotel in Rome was the most disappointing among the three places.
The room and breakfast!
There were no issues with the hotel staff.

They presented a plan that matched our preferences.

The response to forgotten items was swift, which was very helpful.
During this trip, we were introduced to Polignano a Mare by a local Japanese resident we met by chance, and it was very nice, so I hope it will be recommended to others in the future.

It was helpful

The best part was being able to confirm questions via SMS.
Since I'm not familiar with Italy, it was helpful to be taught in detail about train ticket arrangements and check-in procedures.

It was convenient

They also provided restaurant and sightseeing information locally, which was convenient.
It would be nice to have information in advance about what kind of person the local guide is.

We received a lot of support.

At first, I wasn't sure what kind of site it was and hesitated to trust it, but I was struggling to find a guide for a personal trip, so it was helpful.
Thank you for providing a lot of support locally as well.
I plan to make various requests when I use the service again, making use of this experience.
thank you very much.

Fun trip

Both local guides were very nice.
I had some concerns about applying for participation via chat. The deadline for applications was short, and I was unsure what to do.
Once the application form is sent, it becomes invisible from our side, so I hope this can be improved to allow content verification.

They obtained difficult-to-get tickets and made adjustments to the itinerary, allowing us to have an enjoyable trip.
