First Solo Italy Trip
I recently completed my first trip to Italy with Luxe Tribes, traveling solo through Rome and the Amalfi Coast. The planning process had some frustration. When I originally booked, I interpreted the term “luxury-curated” differently than what was ultimately included in the package, particularly when it came to hotel accommodations. In hindsight, I also recognize that I could have provided examples upfront of the type and level of hotels I was expecting. At the same time, I do think Luxe Tribes could improve how clearly the accommodation tier is communicated during the booking process so travelers have a better understanding of what to expect before making a significant, non-refundable investment. There were several changes and quite a bit of back-and-forth regarding the hotels before the trip. Ultimately, however, I was very happy with where I stayed. Cloud 7 Roma was a perfect hotel for me. I loved the boutique feel and central location, and it worked extremely well for how I wanted to experience Rome. My Amalfi Coast accommodations ultimately changed to Hotel Marmorata in Ravello after the previously selected hotel became overbooked. I was placed in a Comfort Room with a sea view at no additional cost. While the hotel changes leading up to the trip added some uncertainty, I appreciated how the situation was ultimately handled. Where Luxe Tribes really delivered was the itinerary and the experience once I arrived in Italy. Having transportation, tours, activities, and logistics already coordinated made traveling internationally by myself much easier. I was able to experience Rome, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Pompeii and more without having to personally coordinate every moving piece. The itinerary also gave me a good combination of structured experiences and free time. As a solo traveler, having those logistics taken care of allowed me to actually enjoy Italy instead of constantly worrying about how I was getting from one place to another. A huge thank you to all of my drivers throughout the trip. They were professional and dependable, and having private transportation arranged was one of the things I appreciated most while traveling alone and moving between multiple destinations. I also want to give a special thank you to Elisa. She worked with me through my questions, concerns and multiple accommodation changes leading up to the trip. I know there was a lot of back-and-forth, and I genuinely appreciate her patience and the effort she put into helping resolve the issues and making sure I was taken care of. Once I arrived in Italy, the logistics were handled extremely well, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and I had an amazing first trip to Italy I will never forget. I will definitely look to book Luxe Tribes again in the future.
