I have heard from many tour operators that it is difficult to get this visa. Some also have been complaining or sharing that it is not possible to get it and I have to tweak my trip. Just wanted to confirm if it's possible.
I am planning for couples trip to Italy and looking out for good tour operators and organizers.
Please do share your experiences and the main reason to ask is because of the trust factor. I've heard bad reviews for most of them. Either their post-trip experience is not great or they charge a lot of money, which doesn't necessarily be the cost. I am looking for ones who are actually making money from the hotels or commissions on that basis and charging a small fee is fine. That is what I'm looking for.

For October, I was planning to do:
• three days in Rome
• three days in Florence
• a couple of days in Amalfi
• spend two days in Venice
and try to also cover, if possible, Lake Garda because I've heard it's a good alternative to Lake Como.
I am kind of budget restricted, so I need your help to figure out if this itinerary makes sense or if I should reduce the cities, because I've seen a lot of other posts here in which it has been mentioned that I should reduce the cities.
I feel like if I just want to cover specific points, does this make sense? It would be helpful, thanks.
