Amazing Tour of Southern Italy ,Saw so many wonderful places and awesome experiences, We could never have organised visiting so many beautiful places by ourselves. The optional tours were a bonus and gave us choices , Met so many wonderful people on the tour from many parts of the world . Highly recommend going on an Expat tour,
Fabulous for seeing a lot in a short space of time, beware it's fast pace, long days, early mornings, many steps and long periods on a coach! Moona our tour guide was great!
