I had originally booked this tour in 2019 but due to the pandemic had to reschedule. I was finally able to go in June of 2022 and the experience was unforgettable. It was a fast paced tour but I was able to experience so many amazing things and see so many highlights. This is my second tour with Expat, I have another booked already for 2023 and I would recommend them to anyone who asked. Our tour leader, Antonio, was phenomenal. He was able to manage all of our bookings and addressed all concerns with patience and kindness. Our driver, Alessandro, was also exceptional. I was constantly amazed at how well he maneuvered the bus through tight spaces and I always felt safe when he was driving. Each city provided an orientation tour, often with a local guide and optional excursions to view additional wonders. The local guides were extremely knowledgeable and the optional excursions were great. The only things I would have changed were in Rome. The walking tour with the local guide was very
The trip was absolutely fantastic, it was my first contiki and the first time that I traveled with a tour group and it was absolutely amazing. I can not stop talking about it and the memories will truly last a last time. I know it’s mostly out of your control but a more hearty breakfast would be nice e to start the day. But other than that the accoms were nice was absolutely amazing and I would book another contiki just to have him as my tour manager again.

The trip was well paced, with a variety of activities to suit all tastes. Lots of local knowledge was provided on extra activities and places to visit,shop and eat outside the tour plan.
This trip was coordinated so amazingly well in terms of activities, excursions and meals. The guide, Chelsea was amazing in communicating with us in regards to transportation or anything we may have needed! I 100% would recommend this tour.
A great grip with amazing food, cultural experiences, sights, activities, and people. Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Milan were amazing. I highly recommend it as a way for people to see Rome and Northern Italy.
Overall a enjoyable experience, Gabi, our tour guide was great! she made sure everyone is safe and very organized. However accommodiations were not that good. I am not sure I will use expat for future experiences.
This tour covered all the best spots in Italy, from Rome to Venice. The guide was super helpful, and everything was well planned. I loved every moment!
It was cool that we got to see so much of the beautiful country and making new friends along the way. It would have been nice to spend longer in certain spots , but we were pressed for time.

DO NOT GO ON THIS TRIP if you're not ok with joining a group that has already been happily travelling together for a week. This is NOT a standalone trip, you're joining partway through on the European Trail.
