Great itinerary. We were able to see a lot of beautiful Tuscany and a bit of Umbria. The tour also included two major sites in Rome, which was nice. I enjoyed the small towns in both Tuscany and Umbria, and was grateful to our Tour Director and local guide for making those sites interesting and enjoyable.

When we booked this trip originally it included a tour of Pisa. I realize that you have the right to change the itinerary but please address the change with us. We only noticed the change, when we printed off our itinerary right before the trip. It would just take a quick email to let us know of any changes to the itinerary .
