The itinerary was full of great sights and history of the region. Excellent local food and wine to match the region. The local tour guides were very knowledgeable. It’s a lot to see in nine days so it was very fast paced.

I booked too many optional experiences. I prefer more free time, but I was too tired to enjoy the free time I had due to adding these events.
I would have preferred an itinerary at the start of the trip to show the hours of free time and optional experiences.
More free time would have allowed more dinners on my own. I am a foodie.
