Rome 9-Day Tours and Trips

For my first trip abroad, this was the best experience I could?ve ever booked for myself. It exceeded my expectations on every level! The beautiful places & landscapes, the food, the amazing people I met and the incredible memories I made will stay with me forever.

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.

This itinerary is excellent in providing a traveler with a great visit to 3 of the wonderful cities in Italy. We spent 3 days in Rome, Florence, and Naples which seems like a lot of time, but there is so much to see in those 3 days that it proves to be fairly intense for a couple of mature adults (ages in the upper 60s and low 70s) as well as fairly intense for an 18 year old granddaughter. It was unusually hot for mid-June this year. Overall, the trip was awesome including our travel director , our driver , and the local guides. We saw the Vatican, Coliseum, and St Peter's in Rome, had two dinners in Tuscany, and were enamored by the beauty of Venice. We also went to Assisi, Pompeii, San Giananoto, Murano, and Burano.

Coverage of the Vatican was light without entrance to St. Peter’s or the Sistine Chapel, due to the recent election of a new Pope. But, touring the Pantheon, the Colloseum, Borghese Gardens, Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain made up for it. Alberobello, with its Truli houses, was fascinating. Matera was amazing, and our visit to Polignano a Mare was a dream. The highlight of the tour for me was the boat tour around the Island of Capri. There are no words to describe the beauty. And Positano was the icing on the cake.

This was our first time to Italy and we could’nt have asked for a better trip! Patrizia, our trip director was awesome - organized, knowledgeable, friendly and caring. The hotels were great locations (Rome and Venice were more modern and the nicest). We hit so many of the places and sites we wanted to see and still had enough free time to experience a relaxed feel too. The included and optional dinners were delicious and fun. Would recommend (and already have) this trip and Trafalgar!

We have seen and learned more than I ever expected on this tour. We have booked with Expat in the past and will continue to book with Expat in the future. Our tour guide are most so knowledgeable and friendly and really take the time to help us learn and explore the beauty and history of these countries so we do not miss a thing. I am in awe of the drivers expertise at maneuvering these buses through the cities and narrow roads of Europe with ease. Always an adventure!
