The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

I still am in awe of all that I saw and experienced in only 10 days. Everything I wanted to see and do in Italy was included in the itinerary. And even though I was certainly busy, I never felt rushed. I especially appreciated all the history that our amazing tour director (Margaret Stefanski) shared with us as we traveled in our coach to each destination.

You need to be able to walk a couple miles throughout the day - stairs, cobblestones, etc. Coach bus was very comfortable. Included dinners (except final night and optional) are “basic” to appeal to everyone (same for breakfasts). Would recommend this tour, got to see all the major sites on our 1st trip to Italy.
