It is a great way to see as much of Italy as possible in under 2 weeks. The schedule is ambitious but I'm glad we got to see everything we did. The food and hotels were excellent. Our tour guide went above and beyond to enhance our experience and she gets a 5 star plus rating. Some sites in Italy draw large crowds of tourists and Luxury Gold gave us early or special access to avoid waiting in lines of people that didn't have that access

The itinerary was very good. In particular there was just the right amount of free time at the different locations. On some previous trips there was too much free time at locations where there was nothing to do or it was too hot. This trip got it right.
The overall itinerary gave a very good coverage of Italy within the time available.
