    The Gladiators Gondolas and Gold guided holiday is a wonderful way for our guests to get a real feel for the country; therefore, we were very pleased to hear that you had thoroughly enjoyed your trip. Furthermore, it is great to know that Jason ensured that your time away with us was as seamless and enjoyable as possible. With that said, we appreciate you sharing your concerns regarding the hotel in Florence and can confirm that they've been shared with our Quality Control team for further evaluation. Nevertheless, it was certainly our pleasure to welcome you on this journey, and we that we will travel together again soon, wherever and whenever you decide that might be.
