The itinerary was busy, always on the go. How I wish there were more times to do shopping.
Some hotels can be better. But our travel director, *Personal details removed by Feefo* and Coach driver, *Personal details removed by Feefo* , were fantastic.

The amount of time spent each stop. Very informative places to see. Accommodation was excellent. Tour director organized well. Some places when meals on our own, poor food choices. Some places one night not enough.

The itinerary on The Jewels of Italy Tour is exceptional, not only do you get to see the major attractions in the big cities, but you also get to see the smaller towns of Pisa and Verona. I thought the Coach was very comfortable. Although, I was surprised that there was no bathroom in the back, but there were enough Pitstops made for bathroom breaks, so it was not needed. We thought the Hotels were more than adequate for the paid.
This tour is the BEST way to see all the infamous spots in Italy, plus local hidden gems, at a reasonable cost and if you are short on time (we had a school break time limitation). It covered everything! We budgeted for the add-ons, especially those with meals, but you could choose to have more free time if you wanted. The food was extraordinary, the bus was roomy and immaculately clean, our driver Antonello was superb, and our Travel Director Anneleis was amazing! She was so talented at integrating the tour highlights, guests, keeping it fun even in the rainy weather, knowledgeable, and able to troubleshoot anything to ensure we had the best experience of a lifetime!! I would love to go back and explore Southern Italy next. The hotels were elegant (only one was just "OK" only because it was in need of some renovations) and the service with our luggage, tipping, etc. was seamless. I highly recommend the Italian Intermezzo tour and Insight Vacations. Favoloso!
This was an amazing trip around Morocco with a packed schedule. A beautiful country with very welcoming people. There are a few days with long drives, but the scenery makes it worthwhile. Vegetarian food selection was a bit limited especially away from the big cities and facilities in a couple of the hotels were only just OK.
The explore tour leader Ridoune was absolutely brilliant, keeping the group together, and catering to everyone's needs and keeping us on schedule. He provided a lot of interesting information about the history and culture of Morocco. Thanks to him we saw all the sights, not to mention some spectacular sunsets over the sand dunes and Ait Ben Haddou. He's a credit to Explore! The local guides were great too.

A must see with a should use vendor. The numerous cities of Spain, each beautiful are enhanced with the tour guides who educate in an interesting way. In a mix of organized events and free time one is given the opportunity to take in each place. Our guide, Gustavo, was knowledgeable, funny, caring making each person feel important.

What a tour! Thank you Peter K for making this a memorable holiday. Pete is a walking encyclopaedia, made each day informative & fun. I appreciate how you looked out for everyone, staying up till you knew we were all back at the hotel & safe.
Pete made my major bucket list city Venice a magnificent visit . Some surprise cities: Toulouse so beautiful & a great meal. Avignon castle with the interactive video showing how the castle rooms looked in the day was great. Keep this one on the tour.
Being a foodie loved the Macarons in Paris, Cicchetti in Venice, the side of a cow in Tuscany! & pickled herring jn Amsterdam.
Made some great new friends on the road.
