Great Italian Cities

I loved the pace and selection of activities. I also really loved the immersive experience we got given by the wonderful tour director Pamela and knowledgeable tour leaders in each city. I felt at home in the be our guest dinners( all very top notch, impressive meals), and because of Pamela’s kind, friendly demeanor and fun personality, felt a part of a big family with our group members. This is a perfectly balanced experience to visit the northern parts of Italy.

Great excursions Outstanding tour director the best

There was more walking than we expected, but enough free time to rest and recover. The only optional experience we went on was David in Florence and it was well worth it. Others in the group enjoyed all of the optional experiences. Our tour guide Pamala Russo was great and made sure we all had a good time and added a real personal touch to the trip. The bus was very comfortable and Michele our driver did an excellent job navigating the narrow streets and busy highways.

Awesome trip! It really gives a nice overview of much of the country. We saw so many gorgeous sights. The mix of included and optional activities was great, it gave us the ability to be as busy as we wanted, but also allowed for downtime if we so chose. Most of the activities are in classic tourist areas - very crowded. We also had some activities off the beaten path, which was lovely. Be prepared with good walking shoes, we averaged about 6km per day, and lots of it is over ancient cobblestone and stairs. Our Travel Director was wonderful and all the local tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This was our first European trip and we loved it.

Our itinerary has been wonderful! A big compliment to our great tour guide, Lisa . She has been a great leader. Very knowledgeable and have excellent people skills and good time management.

The tour was outstanding! Everything from the hotel accommodations to the expert tour guide( and driver) made this an unforgettable experience!

The planned itinerary is wonderful, but I highly suggest taking the additional excursions to Pompeii and the island of Burano.

It was well organized. The tour director, Marnina was excellent. She kept us on schedule, informative about the local areas and was very easy to talk to and interact with.

It is packed with lots of things to see. I learned a lot about the areas we visited. There is a lot of walking so people must be prepared for that and not always on smooth flat areas. It can hold up the group if people can't keep up.
