About your itinerary

? Don't forget that if something isn't quite right we can make changes to the itinerary.
It was a pleasure speaking with you the other day and I am super excited to present to you, your beautiful honeymoon in Venice, Florence and Rome. 
I have included everything requested from my favourite boutique hotels, all of your trains across the country, upgraded to premium seating for extra comfort, some super special tours which will have you seeing St Mark's Basilica after hours, climbing Florence's Duomo as well as a secret food tour in Rome. For your flights, I have been sure to include non-stop to/from JFK. 
This honeymoon is everything you have been dreaming of and I am so excited to be part of such a special journey with you both. I have included my recommendations for things to do in Venice and Florence in your free time.
I know this itinerary has gone a little over what originally you were looking to spend on your honeymoon and there are certainly ways that we could look to bring this cost down, I first wanted to show you exactly what your dream honeymoon looked like, we can work on things from here if this is a little too high.
We have incredible relationships with each of these super LGBTQ+ friendly properties and as a repeat VIP couple of Out Of Office's, you will be treated like Royalty from touchdown to take off. I am here to ensure every step of your honeymoon journey is completely seamless and I will be looking after both yourselves and all of the moving pieces to ensure that all you both need to do is sit back, relax and celebrate your love.
I know we were due to catch up on Wednesday but I am around tomorrow should you wish to speak sooner about your gorgeous trip.
I cannot wait to hear both of your thoughts and I am so looking forward to working with you.
Happy travels,
Shaye Jolley

You know it, you love it, welcome back to Rome!
A heady mix of haunting ruins, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy’s hot-blooded capital is one of the world’s most romantic and charismatic cities.
Rome is the biggest and arguably the most fascinating city in Italy. You could spend a month here and still only scratch the surface. It’s an ancient place, packed with the relics of over two thousand years of inhabitation, yet it’s so much more than an open-air museum. Rome’s culture, food, and people make up a modern, vibrant city that is deserving of all the visitors that travel there every year. As a historic centre, it is special enough; as a contemporary European capital, it is utterly unique.

Text Welcome to Venice
There’s a reason Venice is the place for first romantic couple holidays, world-renowned arts events and very famous films (hello, ‘Casino Royale’). The city on water is like no other, with winding streets, cobblestones and beautiful Gothic architecture, and the occasional stripy-shirt-and-hat-clad gondolier floating by. Oh, and the food. Don’t forget the food.
So when in Venice, though you may want to spend your time simply sipping Aperol Spritz and getting lost in the city’s maze, there are some things you absolutely cannot miss. Venice is rich in culture, home to some of the best galleries, art collections and museums around, as well as plenty of spots to refuel with a cicheti and spritzer and people watch for a while.

Welcome to Florence

Text Welcome to Florence
Cradle of the Renaissance, romantic, enchanting and utterly irresistible, Florence (Firenze) is a place to feast on world-class art and gourmet Tuscan cuisine.
Few cities are so compact in size or so packed with extraordinary art and architecture masterpieces at every turn. The urban fabric of this small city, on the banks of the Arno river in northeastern Tuscany, has hardly changed since the Renaissance and its narrow cobbled streets are a cinematic feast of elegant 15th- and 16th-century palazzi (palaces), medieval candle-lit chapels, fresco-decorated churches, marble basilicas and world-class art museums brimming with paintings and sculptures by Botticcelli, Michelangelo et al. Unsurprisingly, the entire city centre is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
Italy's fashion industry was born and bred here. Homegrown designers Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened haute-couture boutiques in Florence in the 1920s and shopping in the Tuscan capital has been stylish ever since. A-lister fashion houses lace Via de' Tornabuoni and a Pandora's box of specialist boutiques selling all manner of beautiful objects parade alongside family-run botteghe (workshops) in a glorious tangle of medieval backstreets. Watch fourth-generation Florentine goldsmiths and shoemakers at work, buy artisan scents evocative of the Florentine countryside and Tuscan sea breeze, and know the tag 'Fiorentina' is one of the finest international labels going.
Quality produce sourced locally, seasonally and sustainably is the holy trinity and Florentines share an enormous pride in their culinary tradition. Their city, surrounded by wine-rich hills, is a gourmet paradise where eating and drinking exceedingly well is mandatory. Be it a traditional bowl of earthy ribollita (bean, bread and veg soup), a tripe panino at a family-run food truck or a blue T-bone steak served in a market trattoria unchanged since 1915, dining in Florence is timeless and memorable. Raw cuisine, fish bistros, craft cocktails and the dazzling creativity of modern young Tuscan chefs add contemporary edge.
Stand on a bridge over the Arno several times in a day and the light and mood changes every time. At sunset hike to Piazzale Michelangelo to be dazzled by a palette embracing every known shade of soft pink, orange and fiery amber. Surprisingly small as it is, Florence looms large on the world's 'must-sees' list – and not just for its unmatched treasure chest of art. Rich in culture, backdropped by history and anchored by family, faith and food, the Florentine lifestyle is enviably sweet. Enjoy a go-slow afternoon passeggiata, indulge in an aperitivo at dusk, savour la dolce vita…
