Customer Reviews
This was a great trip to give you a taste of all the key sites in these parts of Italy. It’s a family oriented trip and is good for all ages as long as everyone can walk several miles a day. The services provided by trafalgar staff is catered to make the guests have the best experience as possible. It was great how the extra trips to different sites are added in to travel days so the day is still filled with site seeing and fun experiences beyond a bus ride.
This trip hits so many ‘must see’ landmarks and areas. All the additional excursion are worth it. We also had time to venture off on our own.
It was the perfect itinerary. There was just enough time in each city and nice side trips as well.
Can be a bit fast paced at times. However, there are a number of places where you were on your own. That balances out nicely.
The itinerary was comprehensive and worked as well as anticipated. The combination of planned activities, optional side-trips, and free time was spot on.
