Overall it was a great trip. However, the second hotel in Florence was not as comfortable as the first and last hotels. All three had their pluses and minuses, but were clean and had charm. The guides were personable and helpful, but on excursions could’ve allowed for more shopping time and help with suggestions and traditions. Of course they knew the areas, but the older people were more prone to getting off the beaten path. Maybe text or give out maps of the areas where we’d be left to have free time. Our bus driver was great, both helpful and professional.

My husband and I had a great time in Italy. We enjoyed the great cities, the guided excursions, food, and the tour’s director, whom made the trip easy for us. We would love to have him as our tour director on our next adventure. Thank you for the lovely trip.

I believe we saw just about everything that defines Italy as a perennial dynasty with civilization evolving to what it is today and thousands of years old structures still dominating the landscape. Beyond belief, amazing! And as always, Trafalgar had some unexpected, grand and absolutely pleasing side jaunts to put our vacation over the top. Your travel Directors and Drivers are top notch.

Time at Pisa was a bit rushed but I understand it's a matter of timing with the local guide. ************* is top notch! Well organized and worked hard to keep group activities on schedule despite a couple of unavoidable disruptions (one being that the Pope had a special event the morning we were to visit St Peters, but Gordon and the local guide got us there that afternoon anyway). Most importantly, Gordon is sincere. His dedication to do a great job shows through. We'd book a tour with him in future if at all possible.

Fantastic tour package. See all the major sites but be ready for a lot of walking The local experts were very informative. First full day in Rome is very busy if you include the option experience so be prepared to be exhausted. The rest of the tour timing is significantly better. Venice is like another world. My tour director Gordon was fantastic and had a great sense of humor. He went above and beyond when someone fell ill. Highly recommend this tour if you want the best highlights of Rome. The optionals are worth the money and you won’t regret it!

Allowing free time to explore I felt that we hit all the major highlights although I would have loved to stayed in Assisi longer. Group dinners were delicious & entertaining!
