What people love about Rome to Venice Tours
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
My trip with italy on a budget was awesome! They were very helpful with communication and had all accomodation, transport, optional tours, etc outlined in a package on my first day. The tour leaders are friendly and helpful and genuinely care about your experience on the tour. I would have liked to have spent more time with them. For my first time to Italy I think 13 day Mamma Mia was the perfect way to see as much as possible. I just wish I had more time! The accomodation in Florence was amazing and the views from the campground in Sorrento were stunning.
- Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
This tour was sooo good. Only problem was that it felt way too short. Every destination had its own charming/uniqie features. My personal favourites were Rome and Venice. Rome's rich history was definetly showing itself through the architectural structure of the city. On the other hand Venice felt unreal to me it was just so beatiful. Our guide Luca was very friendly he was knowledgable, thanks to him we learned a lot. I made a lot of great memories ...
- Rome, Florence, Venice: essential (3* hotels) low carbon tour by train
Everything from TourRadar was nice with this trip, except the Venice portion/tour. No instructions were given as to how to get to the island portion. Our tour in Venice was the 2 island tour. However, there were no instructions on how to get there. There should have been transportation provided since the hotel was not within walking distance what so ever. We had to pay for taxi to get to Venice ($25 Euros), then 3 tickets for the water ferry at $20 Euros each. We ended up missing our tour due to no communication/direction.
