Great itinerary and tour director. Suggest: a slightly slower pace - limiting yourself to 1 optional experience/ day to avoid too/ long days -exhaustion, provide more suggestions for authentic food / restaurants on ‘free’ days.
Rome is a fabulous mix of history, archaeology, art, religion, and delicious food; and it certainly is the most popular place to visit in Italy. Truth is, Rome is a city that hardly leaves you indifferent. It's the kind of place you either love or hate – and most inevitably love it.
As you journey from Rome to Sorrento, you’ll pass through a captivating landscape dotted with medieval villages seemingly frozen in time. This tranquil scene contrasts with the haunting allure of the ancient ruins of nearby Pompeii. Sorrento offers a serene coastal retreat with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples. Be sure to take the opportunity to visit Capri, where the enchanting Blue Grotto, with its crystalline waters, invites you to experience its shimmering beauty
The Hotel were ok but did not cater to the tourist. The rooms did not have the use of the fans and found the air stagnant. A little air moving would helped.
The Hotel in Sicily in Jiardini Naxos, Caeser palace, found the hotel desk determinitly unhelpful.

Best bang for your buck. The only way to see as much of Europe as we did in 18 days. Often times you do not have very much time in certain cities/towns, but the travel directors do their best to make sure you hit the highlights and have a good experience. You just have to know going in that this is an introductory trip to all the wonders of Europe. That being said, we had a fantastic time. No real complaints other than feeling short on time in some locations,, as expected. Would highly recommend for someone’s first experience in Europe and I even enjoyed it as a repeat traveler as this tour went to some unique places such as Saint Paul de Vence and Colmar. Optional excursions were also all excellent and included meals at hotels were surprisingly good.
Thriving capital cities and friendly seaside villages, hidden mountain hamlets and an Old Town set on the water – Eastern Europe flaunts a pretty impressive display of attractions.

Explore the up-and-coming, once war-ravaged Sarajevo, fall in love with the walled city of medieval Dubrovnik, kick into adventure mode in Ljubljana and feast on regional specialties in Venice, along the Cinque Terre, in Florence and in Rome. With expert local guidance and a small group of like-minded travellers, what more could you need for an epic journey across Europe?
This trip is for you if you're searching for delicious food, helpful guidance, and entertaining company! Excellent use of ten days! As a solo traveler, I really appreciated having my own room because at some other companies, you have to share a room with a stranger. Alessandro was an excellent guide who added much enjoyment to the trip.
If I had enough money and if work would give me more days of leave then I would 100% do another tour if I could. Our CEO Cate made it the best experience possible by providing a structured itinerary while ensuring we have time to do our own adventuring here and there. The experiences I had on this trip were something I will probably never forget.
Very laid back and easy with two days in most places and a good quantity of free time. Fantastic tour director who kept her flock in control. Driver was phenomenal and a pleasure to talk to. As always there is too much to see and remember so picture taking is essential.
