I was disappointed that for a Grand Italian Experience that we did not go to the Colosseum. Lucky we stayed an extra couple of days and was able to arrange our own guided tour. Something to consider in your itinerary!!
We were also would like to have had a cruise around lake Como instead of just seeing the area from land.
The tour gives you a wonderful insight to the country and its region. Overall we loved the tour and will be doing more in the future.
Our tour director and bus driver were amazing. They added to the experience and made it really good.

A good itinerary but you have to take the "optional trips" so be prepared for an extra bill on top.
There is a lot of coach travel it's comfortable but the stops for lunch ect are all at services,not bad but not great either.
Because of all the upselling of the optional trips I wouldn't use Trafalgar again.
