Italy Tours

Nicole was a very knowledgeable tour director and Vincenzo's driving was excellent. The optional evening trip to St. Mark’s Square on the 4th day was our favorite. Delightful boat ride was followed by drinks as the sun set. This should be part of the base tour package, not an additional cost. Walking tour of Venice on 5th day. Mostly a standing tour, distance covered was 100 yards. Tour covered same ground walked evening before. Time would better spent inside Doge’s Palace rather than outside talking about it. Book new rooms at Hotel Andreotti. Alert customers of holiday crowds 1st May.

Amazing and well organised tour, our guide Stefano was a 10/10 very knowledgeable and went above and beyond with his wealth of knowledge & recommendations very passionate and you can tell he loves his job. Our bus driver Luigi made us feel very safe & comfortable.

Everything stood out for me. Everything was so well detailed and the guides always made us feel at home. Never a dull moment. I have 2 hearing aides and could not use the head phones but the guide made sure to fill me in as we sent along. Was much appreciated.

We really enjoyed the small villages including Assisi and Montepulciano. A little more time at each of these would have been lovely, but we knew our tour was a 'taste' of Italy. Our tour guide, Stefano, was so knowledgeable and passionate about his homeland. Having to pay City Tax and then being expected to pay to go to the toilet!

Venice, Capri and Positano were my favorites. Although, the Vatican was outstanding as well. Everyone should see the Sistine Chapel. The food was outstanding, and our tour guide, Sabrina, was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond her job for us with my 86 year old father. The public toilets do not have seats (you have to squat) and you have to pay 1 EURO. The hotels were great, they had seats. :) I did not enjoy the coffee there, but then again I don't really like expresso coffee. I prefer a mild blend, which they do not have. The crowds and traffic were outrageous.

We enjoyed our time in Venice the most and montepulciano in Tuscany. The tour was good, the bus driver was great, felt safe the whole time. Hotels aprt from Florence were all good and the tour guide was helpful. Really disappointed with the hotel in Florence. It was very old, dated, dirty and was definately not 4 star. The food presented for the meal was not great and most were not eating it. The next day everyone was talking about the below par accomodation.

The best bit , Stephano, everything was so well organised, all with good humour. Nominating him for sainthood, I’m sure he managed a few miracles!

Loved Venice, going by ferry to St Marks Square in the evening for dinner with the other members of the tour. It was such a beautiful evening with them, got to know them better, the ride back to the hotel was fantastic with the crew playing Titanic Did not like the Hotel Rafaello at all, the breakfast and dinner was below standard. The manager was not helpful at the hotel desk at all. Our aircon was not working, the phone kept ringing, and we had to go down at least thrice to get it working. The room was smelling of cigarette smoke too
