Gems of Rome and Florence
The tours were set up with the perfect mix of tour/personal time. Stefan, Claudia and our bus driver were top notch navigating us through the narrow streets to make sure we saw all of the local highlights! Recommend to everyone.
Small group
This was a great tour. Rome was a small group. Mohammed was very personable and informative. Tuscany was 75 people. However, the guide for Tuscany spoke 3 or 4 languages and managed amazingly well to keep everyone informed. In Sienna, we split into smaller groups. One drawback of this tour was there was little time to actually see Florence. I would recommend adding several days on the backend. This tour was not what we had expected, but it worked for us. Driver picks you up for the tour but then we had to find our own way back to the motel once tours were completed. You aren't actually with the same group from tour to tour. Plus no meals are provided except for breakfast at the hotel. For those that like some freedom, this is a great tour but if you want structure and to stay with the same group, this is not for you.
Half Day Tours
Know that you’re on your own for 1/2 day. Hotel in Rome … not happy w that! Fiveday tour is only 2 - 1/2 tours and 1 full day Tuscany must say the wine tasting at the winery was the best. Having 4 bottles shipped to the USA.
Some Noob American Travelers go to Rome.
Trip was awesome, Travel arrangements, tour staff, and hotels hit the spot! Easy recommendation for future homies.
