Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

Insight Tours and our Tour Director, Jackie, really took care of everything, giving us a wonderful, authentic feel for Italy’s culture. I’m sure that if I had planned this trip myself, I wouldn’t have done even half of the things we experienced through the tour company. My daughter and I had a wonderful experience, and we made memories that will last a lifetime.
