[Idyllchat] Experience with Tuscany North Properties

Sat Nov 18 10:10:18 EST 2006

Sue is correct.

We arranged our own air transport this past October for our Italy  
Umbria Untour because we were spending several days in Italy both  
before and after our Untour. Part of the ground only Untour included  
bus transportation to the Avis rental place and an escort to our  
Untours location. We had to, of course, meet our local Untours person  
at the Rome airport where other Untours people were arriving if we  
wished that service. The Untours staff said we could if we wished get  
ourselves to the car rental place or even to our Untours location.  
i.e. very flexible!

BTW, we wanted to use our rental car to drive to the Cinque Terre  
area at the end of our Untour and drop the car there. When I spoke to  
the Untours staff to ask about this, they were totally co-operative  
with this arrangement. They simply wanted to have all this arranged  
in advance since the car rental reservation had to be made out  
accordingly and there had to be an Avis rental agent at our drop off  
location.
