[Idyllchat] ? for tenured travelers

[Marcia Waffner]

Hi
We're planning our first trip to Italy in the fall. Untours sounds just 'up our alley' since we don't want to be with large groups and on tour buses, however we were wondering if we can hire guides or ask for recommendations from this group on the 'who, what, where and when' of getting around.  Some questions: 1.  is getting from place to place reasonably straightforward   2. are gas stations easy to find  3.  can we hire tour guides on our own and if so, how 4.  is language a huge barrier if our Italian is limited.

Thanks for any help...
Marcia
