Rome 11-Day Tours and Trips

Overall, this was an amazing trip to be introduced to Europe and experience a little bit of everything there. If you are thinking about opting out of a tour service like this and figuring it all out on your own, I would advise against it. There are a lot of cultural and social differences between these countries that a cursory internet search will not make you aware of. The tour guide's guidance is really what allowed us to be safe and not clueless while exploring, and the tour also highlighted a lot of the activities and locations that were actually worth doing. I feel like I truly maximized my time in Europe and did not waste a moment. At this price point, I doubt you would be able to find anything as good. It was truly life-changing, and on the flight back I dreaded coming back home. Also, if you see Kevin Screene as an option for your tour guides, take him. Amazing person and an even better guide.

Well organized trip and the staff whom we worked with were super professional and made sure everything worked perfectly for us. I know there had to be issues, but we as guest never saw an issues.

So many wonderful, memorable experiences were packed into this 10 day trip. Plan on walking 10,000+ steps each day except long travel days. Loved the optional experience dinners; well worth the extra cost.

As first time visitors to Italy, this was an excellent tour. We were able to cover a lot of ground and visit the major iconic sites during this trip. It was great knowing that all of the details of tickets to the sites, transportation, and transfers between hotels and locations was cared for so that we didn't need to worry about a thing. Our travel concierge, Anna, was excellent and extremely knowledgable and organized which made our trip even more enjoyable. We also felt that the small group size of 24 travelers made for a more intimate experience and enabled us to access sites and experiences with greater ease.

The Tuscan/Umbrian tour was a fabulous experience! Everything was perfectly planned and the immersion experiences were unforgettable! The family who welcomed us into their home for an Italian lunch, the olive oil tour and tasting, the wine tasting were gave us a real flavor of Italy. But I would have to say that for me the highlight was the truffle hunting experience! We learned so much that day, saw amazing views and enjoyed authentic homemade food. In every case we were greeted with warm hospitality. And I can’t forget to mention our tour guide Giulio (and our driver Gerry) who made the trip so enjoyable every step of the way!

This really was a great time. I liked learning more about history. Food, olive oil, and wine that were all very good were tasty. I made some great new friends and had a great time.
