Kathy & Mark

Our tour begins with an excursion through one of the most characteristic regions of Tuscany, famous around the world for its wine and the unequalled charm of its countryside. Great patches of woods and vast open spaces filled with vine trees and olive groves are dotted with Romanesque churches, farmhouses, villas and castles of exquisite beauty. Our tour includes a visit to one of several places of historic and artistic interest in an authentic Tuscan village. Also included on the tour is a visit to a renowned area farm where guests will partake in a wine tasting, and be offered a sampling of local cuisine.

The buses with the hat drive continuously through the city's most important monuments. Get on and off when and wherever we please. On board, an exhaustive audio-guide will help us understand the extraordinary history and the splendor of the art that makes Rome a unique city! An unforgettable tour of the eternal city. We will enjoy some of the most remarkable monuments and places that Rome offers

A gondola ride is the quintessence of romantic Venice! We will enjoy a soothing journey along the canals and be captivated by the glamour and elegance of this true Italian honeymoon experience. We'll be taken to a spectacular water front Venetian restaurant to be wined and dined in style. Simply heaven!

We will tour through the fertile and picturesque Tuscan countryside towards the historic university city of Pisa. Together, we'll take the panoramic drive along the Arno embankments, visit the Piazza dei Miracoli famous for the celebrated Leaning Tower, and unequalled masterpieces of Romanesque art carried out between the 11th and 12th centuries. This will be a great honeymoon day!

Okay, we plan to taste a lot of wine! We will spend a pleasant afternoon in a charming place, with an expert sommelier, tasting and discussing the wines of the Tuscan region. The aim of our course is to reveal the best ways for one to appreciate a goblet of wine using sight, smell and taste. All of the senses must be involved for us to capture the full experience of the wine. We will be provided with descriptions of the wine, its territory of origin, the growing process, wine making techniques, the times required in the cellar, and the importance of using an appropriate glass. We will taste 4 fine wines provided by select Tuscan producers; while Italian salami, breads and focaccia (flat seasoned breads) are served.

Strolling through narrow streets, led by a guide, you will suddenly emerge on majestic St Mark's Square: the hub of the city. Byzantine in heritage, it was the political and monumental centre of the ancient Venetian republic: from these palaces Venice one dominated the seas. Visit of the Basilica containing St Mark's Tomb and dazzling gold mosaics. Next door is the exquisite pink and white marble Doge's Palace, where the elected Doges lived and governed. Its beautiful courtyard leads to magnificently decorated chambers. It is linked by the famous Bridge of Sighs to the Piombi prison: you will be able to cross over to take a glimpse of the accommodation reserved to its guests through the centuries (such as Casanova!) Back into 'Europe's grandest drawing-room', close to the Bell Tower and Clock Tower, you will see a demonstration of Venetian glass-blowing.

On our walking tour we'll visit St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world, with some very interesting stories, and our personal guide has all the scoop!

A table will be reserved for us at our favorite restaurant. We can choose from fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, breakfast meats, scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns, juice and coffee. Give us the works we need our energy on our getaway.

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

We would love to shop around for our favorite piece of art as a cherished keepsake from our once in a lifetime trip. This gift will adorn our home for many years to come!

We will visit all the trendy stores on the main street in the heart of the busy city, checking out the classically elegant European clothes in all the boutiques. We'll shop until we drop!

Send us on our honeymoon with luggage that is stylish and beautiful. With your gift, we can say good-bye to our old and tired gear and do a little shopping for some new luggage! Everything we own has a SLB logo on it :)

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our trip. It all goes towards having the ultimate getaway made possible by your generous registry gift.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

We want to capture our honeymoon moments forever. We will be without a PC; therefore, we'll need plenty of CF Cards since these photo`s will reflect memories that will last a lifetime.

From the excellent service at the hotel to the attentive waiters at dinner, there's going to be a long list of people to thank for helping us have the perfect time away from home.

We can plan to start our trip with a romantic flair! What better way than with the decadence of this unbeatable combination?
