Rome 14-Day Tours and Trips

Many highlights every day. A taste of Europe.Days are long often starting 7am on bus, ending after 8 pm. Tiring but worth it for a 70 yr old. Very, very well organized and timed.. Highly recommend.

Excellent, interesting tour, amazing scenery and visiting some wonderful places like Lucca my absolutely favourite place on the tour. We stayed in some really nice interesting hotels though I wasn’t that keen on Villa Pitiana in Tuscany. Lots of faded grandeur and an uncomfortable bed. I don’t mind old hotels at all but the bedroom I had at Villa Pitiana was gloomy and most unwelcoming and the bathroom was not great. The Villa was in need of major refurbishment and too far away from anything. I would have preferred three nights in Lucca to explore some more. A few people on the tour felt the same. I also really liked Rapallo and would have enjoyed more time there. Silvia was a wonderful guide.So knowledgeable, helpful and great personality. Our driver Gaetano was friendly and a skilful, safe driver. They made a great team.

Amazing tour. Paolo was very informative and a wonderful all around great man. Antonio was a wonderful driver. Hotels and restaurants were wonderful. Chuck was also very helpful and informative. Chuck and Paolo kept us informed and on time. There is nothing I can find to complain about on this trip. I would definitely do it again.

Excellent, well connected tour guide made this trip so enjoyable! The tour provided opportunities to see many different regions of Italy in a fast paced, structured way. Appreciated that everything was taken care of and all we needed to do was show up!!!!

Despite our being a tour of 43 people, our Tour Manager Daniel Boghen truly brought us together as a "family" for our Italy explorations. His knowledge, along with his choices of wonderful local guides, enriched the experiences greatly. It was my first visit to Italy; I found I really liked Taormina, Sorrento, Capri and Stresa for their "resort" vibes. Our visits to the antiquities (Greek theater in Taormina, Colosseum in Rome, ruins of Pompeii) and the art and architecture we saw did not disappoint. Several "Surprises" Daniel had for us were great - a restaurant where the waiters sang opera between courses, a visit to the American WWII cemetery in Florence, for example - really added to our enjoyment.

I liked the places we visited. Accomodation was excellent and all rooms were well appointed. We stayed 2 nights at Vill Pitiana and I felt that the meal choices..2 were very limited and not great value for the price. ( perhaps a pasta option as well!) .As I previously stated this was my first tour and I had a lot of questions, that Helio dealt with very patiently. We appreciated all the work that he put for all of us on the tour…..from sightseeing and many restaurant suggestions to much information about every place we visited. I cannot praise Helio enough. Our bags were left at the hotel on the first night and Helio sorted it out promptly with much apologies. We did not consider this as a big deal as it was sorted and these things happen. One other suggestion is that you make it very clear on your brochures that not everyone will have exactly the same views as everyone elseevery night. This may seem obvious, but we had a couple complaining on the bus to Helio and everyone else felt a bit awkward. I understand that you can’t have 9 rooms with the same view and we thought all the views were great. Helio dealt with it very professionally. I liked the mix of sightseeing as a group and them being able to go off on our own.
