Europamundo exceeded my expectations. I traveled alone yet I always felt at ease and accompanied. The tour guide Antonio Toti was excellent, knowledgeable, caring and funny. The bus drivers were friendly, prompt and buses were impeccable. Filipo, the second tour guide in Rome had a wealth of information. Location of the hotels were a bit distant from the popular areas but were very nice and surrounded by restaurants. So what did I like most about the tour? EVERYTHING I am already looking into my next trip with Europamundo and once again, KUDOS to Antonio Toti for being a great tour guide
