The tour was excellent. Sonny was an incredible driver, prompt, friendly and kind. Our tour guide, Callum 'Blinky' Pyper, was full of historical and local knowledge, friendly, patient and kind. Both took very good care of us. We enjoyed all the excursions as they allowed for a bit more interaction with the local cultures.

This trip, while short, provides an in-depth discovery of much of central Italy: Rome and the Colosseum, Florence and the David, Pizza, Verona, and Venice featuring a glass blowing demonstration and optional tour to Burano for a truly unique dinner.
The tour also provides an opportunity for time on your own to explore on one’s own pace or visit sites of personal interest.
In my case, I could visit Peggy Guggenheim’s museum ( with instructions on how best to get there by our guide) in Venice and have dinner in Rome at a restaurant recommend by an Italian friend.
The itinerary couldn’t be better. We did and saw everything we hoped for and more. Hotels were good to excellent. The coach was very comfortable. *Personal details removed by Feefo* had film clips and music for us on the sometimes longish journeys. The value for money was excellent.

Very well organized, experienced mountain guide, Rifugio’s were basic to comfortable, the half board included with the Rifugio were mainly good, breakfast in a few only provided bread and jam with coffee/tea/juice instant not enough for a day of hiking, lunch prepared by the guide were awesome and very filling, overall a great experience!
Overall excellent trip. Weather helped as was excellent. Able to walk all high passes and enjoy fantastic views. Accommodation was basic but OK, food overall was good. Never went hungry. Plenty of opportunity to stop and take photos, never felt rushed.
Delivery & pick up of bikes was seamless. E bikes were excellent, possibly the best we have ever used. Maps, both paper and & electronic were good. Our only issue was 2 hotel upgrades were both some distance from the town centres which was not ideal. Centrally located accommodated would always be the best option. Overall an excellent trip for those interested in military history of the Western Front.
See the Northern Lights from Scandinavia's breathtaking mountaintops on this 10-day tour of Helsinki, Alta and Oslo. Journey through Finnish Lapland—250 km above the Arctic Circle to Ivalo, the Gateway to the North. From the comfort of your cosy cabin in Aurora Village, gaze out through the glass roof as the lights of the aurora borealis dance above. Cross the Finnish-Norwegian border to North Cape and sample caviar in Europe’s northernmost point, before a once-in-a-lifetime visit to a working husky farm. Here you will meet the Arctic dog-sled racing Alta huskies—a world-famous champion dog sledding team, before stopping in Tromsø, where the Indigenous Sámi community invites you to help feed their reindeer herd. The vacation draws to a close on the scenic, once-Viking, shores of the Oslofjord.
