Rome Cruise Trips

It was definitely fast paced touring... a lot of walking but for my 12 yr old and I, it was so worth it! We learned so much about Italy and we will cherish it forever.

Trafalgar did a great job highlighting the best of Rome, Florence, Venice, and a few smaller town in between in this quick tour of Italy. It gave us a taste of what we like and how to go back for a more detailed look when we return in a few years. Itiniery was well planned, and I had nothing to worry about except what extra excursions we want to add and where for lunch and dinner. We ended up adding every excursion offered and they were all great. Dinners were at par of what I would have paid in that restaurants by ourselves, and they usually are in locations that has extra meaning, ie Michiavellis’s estate or under Roman bath. Say excursion such as Pompei and San Giaocarmi were quick spectacular. Lead tour guide Emma was friendly and very helpful, went out of her way to help us make some purchases as well as recommending restaurants for lunches and dinners. Driver was safe and made plenty of bathroom stops, and coach was in great condition. I would have like a bit nicer hotels - they tend to be quite smaller than what we are accustom to, but locations were very good. Airport pickup and drop off went smoothly, as well as luggage handling in hotels. I would use Trafalgar again for another country, but for Italy, Trafalgar gave us enough knowledge and comfort for me to feel safe to come back by ourselves.

This itinerary is perfect if you want to see as much of Italy as you can in a week. Our travel director, and driver, were excellent in providing a wonderful travel experience! Our family took advantage of all the optional excursions to be able to truly enjoy all Italy can offer in a short time.

The trip included all the special places to visit in Sicily. We took all the add-ons so we wouldn't miss anything. It was a little expensive, but worth it.

The itinerary was just what I was looking for: 3 days in Rome, 2 in Florence, and 3 in Venice. Especially 3 days in Venice unlike other trips that only offered 1 or 2 days in Venice. The optional excursions allow you both time and financial flexibility. [Pompeii, plus stops along the way to Pisa and Bologna.] Since it was 3 days/nights in a particular city, our Travel Director could work around "Monday closings" of some venues in order for us to visit those places when they were open. Our Tour Director was also very personable and took time to chat and get to know everyone on the tour to offer advice, and meet their needs, questions, or any such "angst." This was my 5th trip with Trafalgar Tours. I will plan more group trips with Trafalgar in the future. I also enjoyed touring and dining with my fellow travelers. Oh! Our bus driver was exceptional, too.

Our guidewas great! She kept everything running smoothly, and on schedule. We saw so much in every city! Fabulous good, great travel companions, and individual tour guides! Memories that will last a lifetime! Wonderful bus driver, and comfortable rides on the bus, while touring cities. Hotel accommodations were very nice as well!
