We had an amazing time! The accommodations were immaculate, the bus journeys went without a hitch, and Rocio, our tour guide, was kind and helpful during the trip! The meals were fine.The places we went were ideal and historically significant! There was a lot of walking, and our guide made sure to check on us frequently. The quality / price ratio is excellent! If this is your first time visiting Italy, we highly recommend this tour!
- 8-day Best of Italy: Rome, Florence & Venice
It was great Clara was very nice and helpful. Giving was also great
- Mamma Mia! Best of Italy
Our tour guide, Luca, was an extremely knowledgeable, which greatly enhanced our trip. Although I had expected a more leisurely pace, the tour was still enjoyable, even though a bit fast-paced and intense. Luca went above and beyond to ensure that the tour was excellent, even purchasing local delicacies for us in different cities and doing everything he could to resolve any issues that arose. We visited many amazing places and, in comparison to other tours I've been on, the accommodation and food provided on this tour were generally superior. Additionally, the hotels were conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to explore on our own when we had free time. Although we felt a bit rushed at times, and I would have preferred to linger in certain places, the tour gave us a great taste of Italy, leaving me eager to return at some point in the future.
