Customer Reviews
Loved the selection of places visited, interesting and varied.
Super interesting and informative. Our tour guide, was excellent, both in her knowledge and her organization skills. We saw so many places we would never have seen in spite of the unbearably hot temperatures. Walking in the heat proved a challenge but the tour was well worth it
The hotels and buses were terrific, our bus driver amazingly skilled at navigating tight spots, and our tour guide was fun and informative. We enjoyed seeing the popular places in Rome and the Amalfi Coast while also having some down time in smaller towns with great history and culinary opportunities.
Easy paced tour nice food and good accommodation
