Middle East Museum and gallery visits Trips

There was too much to see and do. It was a wonderful trip but six cities should be cut back to 3. Italy is a beautiful county with so much ancient history. The tour company treated us really good, the guide was wonderful and the bus driver was impressive. I would recommend it to anyone but warln that there is a lot of walking and standing. I did bring a foldable stool which relly nice to have.

The itinerary was great - loved spending 2 nights at most hotels! Felt like I got a great feel of several different regions of Itally. We had 6 family members traveling together and we all felt like it was a great trip. There were only 27 people in our tour group which was wonderful! Highly recommend this trip!

it was a great 8 day tour that covered all the key tourist attractions that gives you a taste of what Europe has to offer. i'ts a great starting point for me next trip to Europe..

Fast paced and organised, we saw so much on the way it was the only way to go! Tour director was very informative and the hotels we stayed at were great.

This itinerary ended up being a fantastic first experience of Italy. It gave me a real sense of how different each region feels, both in history and personality. Traveling in winter honestly worked in our favor. The cooler weather and light rain were easy to handle, and the smaller crowds made every stop feel calmer and more enjoyable. The order of cities fit the season well, and the time on the coach gave us a chance to recharge before the next visit. The experiences built around local farms, vineyards, and regional food traditions added something special. And the local guides—true experts in their cities, museums, and archeological sites—made everything come alive. They had a way of weaving together history, culture, and story that made even familiar places feel new. Pompeii was the unforgettable highlight for us, but every guided experience felt thoughtfully chosen. I was also surprised by how much the warmth of our travel organizer shaped the trip. She brought the whole group together, and by the end we had connections that felt genuinely meaningful. For anyone considering this itinerary, the “difficult” activity rating is accurate. There is a lot of walking, hills, steps, and long staircases. It was manageable, and many sites offered alternate options, but it’s worth knowing that some days reach 5–10 miles on foot. The pace was quick, but winter meant earlier dinners and quieter evenings, which gave us more free time than expected. We also loved catching the holiday markets toward the end. In winter, I’d maybe reshuffle the order of cities so those markets land at a more central point in the trip, especially since Capri and the Amalfi Coast are mostly closed for the season. Overall, I fully recommend this itinerary. It helped us figure out exactly which cities we want to return to, and it gave us the kind of memories you carry for a long time. * I would advise a note on clothing to be more specific by season on what can and can't be worn or taken to some venues like the Vatican. A weather review with rain/cold recommendations would have made packing easier too.

We got to see alot of the highlights of Italy in a very short time. We didn't have to worry about how to get from Place to place,where we were staying or where to eat. Our travel director was excellent and our coach driver was impressive.
