Rome 7-Day Tours and Trips

The trip was great overall but few things to check: The hotels were 5 star type but do we need that for just 1 night? We could have got 4 star ones for 1 night stays too and trip cost would have reduced. There was no time to enjoy those high end hotels with pools sauna etc. Roman forum was eliminated, Trevino fountain ( most important attraction) was given only 20 mins to check, optionals in Venice was given longer time and made in such a way that you can’t skip because it was confusing where to meetup with group at end of optionals. So it was kind of push to buy those optionals. We could have stopped at any picturesque point of Tuscany. The itinerary could’ve been better. However the tour director and driver were excellent which made me give this trip a perfect score.

The whole tour experience Italy-Switzerland last May 7-14, 2023 was very extensive though hectic covering the basic sights in Italy, with a few perks like cruising through Liechtenstein and Austria before Switzerland, enjoyed the Alps then going back through Milan and experienced Pisa before our final stop in Rome for our exit flight to Brussels. And at a very reasonable price for a first-time Europamundo traveller. The only let-down was not being able to go inside the Colosseum arena and St. Marks Basilica when it was specified free admission tickets included. Those were big selling points why we took this tour. However, your team of tour guides such as Gabriela and Filippo with driver, Manuel made up for the lack. Very professional, lively and entertaining, informative and resourceful, particularly Gabby and Filippo who both deserve a thumbs-up.

PRO: 1. Knowledgeable guides 2. well planned itinerary that covered a lot of places 3. Quick responses in Tourradar.com and adjustments 2 instances which could be improved On day one - we were given a welcome paper in the front desk which stated a time 7:30 Trastevere but the bus left at 7pm in the other itinerary and not found in the welcome paper. A lot of passengers were then left behind and some had to take cabs to go to trastevere on their own. On day two, we had pouring rain - people were drenched to the core but still we continued with the Vatican tour. After the tour at 4pm, we were told by Filippo and Giovanni to go on our own with an 8:30pm meet up time in the Grand Hotel. the tour guide should be flexible to adjust given weather - leaving the drenched passengers by themselves wet is not the best 2nd day. He should have offered an option to bring back passengers to the hotel given everyone was drenched. Since we did not want to get sick, we all had to take cabs and all the groups had to pay 70 euros just to get back to the hotel.

This tour is wonderful journey through Italy and is great as a first time visit to this country. You get to see a lot in a few days and the experience was wonderful!

Very organized and very efficient service. We highly commend both Maia and Gabby. They were both knowledgeable and very approachable. Special thanks to Gabby for helping me on the birthday cake surprise for my husband. She is very kind and very professional. We will surely recommend Europamundo to our friends.

Very well professionally organized vacation tour. Special kudos to the tour guides Eva, Maria & YuHua who put in all the efforts to make us comfortable and well informed.
