So it looks like Italy curb-stomped France. I had originally wanted Italy, then thought Paris might be an easier trip? Anyway, loving the Italy idea. Few questions:
1. Which airport is best to fly into? Looks like there are 3 in Rome, or nearby
2. Where would you get your lodging in Rome? For Amalfi coast, it looks like there are some amazing small hotels to get, but did not know if a larger one might suit well enough there.
3. For driving there, do I need to get the International Drivers License?
4. Would it be feasible for a few days in Rome, a few in Tuscany and then a few in Amalfi? Looks like I am going opposite directions. Would there be an easier route to go that you can see from experience?
per favore, can you provide your budget and time to be spent in italy? we have done italy multiple ways, cruise, private tour, etc. driving is difficult, the big cities prohibit cars. i could write a book about my experiences, but i would recommend hitting roadtoitaly.com and customize a tour for yourself. delta flies to Milan and Davinci FCO. think this, work with christina lee at RTI. she will set up transportation, tours, transfers.....anything you can think of. fly into Milan, hit lake como, view last supper, train to venice, train back to florence, museums, driver south Thru Wine country, stay in castle, driver to rome, tour of Pompei. save Amalfi coast for another time. fly home from rome.
