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.

We visited it prior to the organised tour and enjoyed the tour inside. Suggest this could be an optional extra on the tour. We also loved going to the little villages - like the walled village Orvieto, and Castiglione del Lago, Monteriggioni, good to spend some time there. We didn't really enjoy Genoa. Arrived at night and weather also not great. We didn't have much time there, but if had had more I would have liked to look at the museum boat on the harbour. Didn't enjoy walking the streets by the harbour, as a bit dark.

Everything was so well detailed and the guides always made us feel at home. Never a dull moment.

Worldwide Touring5We 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!

Worldwide Touring11Venice, 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.

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.

Why start in Rome
Rome sets the scene for art, food, and big history across Italy
Rome works well as the base for an Italy itinerary because the city gives a strong first taste of the country’s history, art, and street life, and it is easy to build on from there. Many trips start with a guided look at key areas, which helps make sense of major sights early on, then the route moves north to add Italy’s best known city stops without needing to plan each step alone. Group travel also suits Rome, where a planned schedule can help with busy areas, while free time keeps space for slow meals and evening walks. Some Italy trips that visit Rome also continue beyond the border, so it can feel like a bigger Europe journey, but time in Italy stays focused on the classic highlights. For travellers who want a simple, well paced way to see Rome and more of Italy in one go, this style of trip keeps the main parts joined up and easy to follow.
