I had a wonderful time on the Italian Discovery tour with Eskapas. The itinerary was well-thought-out, covering all the must-see locations. Giulia, our guide, was excellent, providing insightful commentary and always willing to answer questions. The hotels were comfortable, especially in Rome. Thanks to the entire team for an amazing trip!
We enjoyed the Italian Discovery tour, which was well-organized and covered many iconic sites. Florence’s art museums and the gondola ride in Venice were personal highlights. The tour was quite fast-paced, which was both exciting and a bit tiring at times. The overall experience was great, and we felt we saw a lot of Italy in just ten days. Thanks to Eskapas for a memorable trip!
Italy was a fantastic trip for us. Wonderful fellow travelers and a first-rate guide. We were able to see and do things that would not have been easily accessible to a large group or individuals, and it was a fantastic balance between structure and free time. Strongly advised
It was a pleasure to tour Venice, Florence, and Rome. The tour included a good mix of scheduled events, optional excursions, and free time. When there was free time, it was simple to travel by foot or cab to and from every hotel location.
This trip was so much fun for me. Even though I traveled by myself, my group was great and made me feel like I was always a part of it. There was a great mix of activities, and our tour guide Matteo made sure everything went smoothly. He was also always happy to help us plan what to do in our free time.
We were able to relax and appreciate our trip without having to worry about logistics thanks to the team's planning. Would make another booking!
Because this tour eliminates all the complexity and chaos involved in planning your own travel, you will actually save money on it. It simplifies experiencing and understanding a foreign culture. At 63 and 55 years old, you will get to encounter things you never would have imagined enjoying, which is refreshing.
An amazing and memorable experience... Italy is an evolving country with a rich past that you can almost touch. The whole time, I was in amazement. I'm in awe of my surroundings and the opportunity our tour offered. Simply bizarre. As someone who had never taken a group tour before, I was a little anxious about what to anticipate from spending two weeks traveling with a bunch of strangers. After meeting everyone, these friendly and hospitable people quickly became the ideal group. enjoyed getting to know and connect with everyone of them. Lovely individuals with unique viewpoints and ideas to share. To be honest, I found this group of people to be the highlight of the experience. I appreciate all of the wonderful discussions, heartfelt jokes, and warmth from you all. Our tour guide, Matteo, sometimes had his hands full leading us while he dealt with a few unforeseen difficulties. He looked after us so well, kept us interested, and invited us into some very amazing activities. Thank you so much, Matteo, for leading us through so many treasured moments. Getting to know you and sharing Italy with you was such a delight. I already recommend the team to friends and family, and I want to vacation with them once more!
Since this tour covers the majority of Italy, we chose it above others. Most of the overnight stops lasted two nights, which we thought would be better than packing each night. We went on our first European tour, and it was a fantastic chance to see some new and interesting locations. If we had traveled on our own, there is no way we could have seen and experienced so much. The tour moved quickly, but we were fine with that. Our tour guide, Matteo, was fantastic and really made the trip enjoyable and educational! We are excited to schedule our upcoming travel.
We are delighted with the organization and treatment received by the guides, as in the hotels, and activities carried out. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GUIDES: Marco and Mario from Rome, all the guides from Florence, Venice, Naples and Sorrento are charming and good communicators.
Before the vacation, my partner and I were very excited and stressed, but everything went perfectly. I would want to thank Alex from the team first for his quick responses to our questions. We would also want to thank Luigi, our driver, and Maria, our guide, for their kindness, caution, and knowledge.
Excellent tour, very good logistics, very prepared guides, excellent hotel and very good food. Highly recommended!!
Excellent guide, exciting, and well-organized. So many amazing moments. Strongly recommend.
This was our first tour with the team, and it won’t be our last! The Italian Discovery tour was well-organized, and we saw so much in just ten days. Rome’s ancient sites, Venice’s unique charm, and the beautiful Tuscan countryside were all amazing. Special thanks to our bus driver and guide, Marco, for their professionalism and making the trip enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Italy comprehensively.
The Italian Discovery tour exceeded my expectations. We saw so much in a short time.
Isabella is the best. She was a passionate, knowledgeable, funny, and helpful leader who made the trip an amazing experience for all of us. Grazie!
Highly suggested if you're visiting Italy. They make it easy even with all the various logistics that go place in the background.
Tremendous organization and coordination with the result of total satisfaction. The guides, Manuela (tour leader in the bus), Giorgio (Naples and Pompeii) and Alessandra (Florence) EXCELLENT !!!!!, Good hotels and food. Strongly recommend it.
The perfect organization. Schedules, excellent coordination. Very short Pompeii visit. The hotel in Sorrento Vesuvio and Florence are very good. Too bad they don't tell you that you have to pay for drinks at 4 euros. They must warn that they do not include drinks with meals.
Excellent tour with a wonderful perspective of Italy. Good balance between scheduled activity and spare time. Def recommend.
This tour was a great introduction to Italy. We visited so many iconic places, and the logistics were handled smoothly. Marco, our guide, was very informative, and our bus driver was skilled and courteous. Some days were a bit rushed, but we still managed to enjoy every moment. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Italy.
Wonderful trip. The driver, Francesco, and the tour director, Giuilia, were both excellent and very professional. The quality of the hotel rooms was generally extremely nice, although it varied from city to city.
There are highs and lows to every tour. Some under control, some not. All in all, I really enjoyed the people in our group and the activities we engaged in.
The tour of Italy that Eskapas organized was fantastic! filled with breathtaking cities of all sizes and the ideal balance of free time and guided excursions. The event was made truly unforgettable by our great leaders. Strongly advised to everyone wishing to visit Italy!
The goods: ------------------ The tour coverage of all important towns in Italy and the time allotted for each destination and the pick-up and drop-off at Rome airport, the guides on the south tour were great The bads: --------------- The guide Carlos during the North tour was very non-communicative and lacked any kind of enthusiasm The uglies: ----------------- The hotels given to us with the exception of Rome were not 4-star. The hotel Uma Vittoria Florence - downright ugly, dark and like a brothel, The Smart hotel (Mestre) - was a glorified 2-star Holiday Inn like cheesy motel, the only two nice hotels were Massimo D'Azeglio and Crawford Hotel worthy of calling 4-star. The toiletries provided were lacking, somewhere only soap, somewhere shampoo and soap, nowhere conditioner or lotion. The included food at the hotels was bland and lacked flavor. The exception: restaurant right next to Crawford (only because it was a restaurant) it was great. The tours of Venice did not include St. Marks church and Doge palace which was advertised. And there was no formal dinner as per the advertisement. I carried the formal jacket for nothing.
Had an amazing time. Our Tour Director Matteo helped to make this even more special. He was highly educated and treated us like family.
My wife and I really liked our vacation in Italy. The group got along extremely well with our tour guide, Matteo, who was also incredibly kind, accommodating, and informed.
This really was a great time. I liked learning more about history. Food, olive oil, and wine that were all very good were tasty. I made some great new friends and had a great time.
We just got back from the Italian discovery tour and had such aan amazing time! The ten days passed quickly, and every place had its own special charm. It made all the difference since our guide was a wealth of interesting stories and quite knowledgeable. The accommodations were cozy, and the speed of the trip was just right—not too fast. Every destination gave us plenty of free time, which was ideal for us. It was also excellent how well-organized and seamless everything was. If you're looking for a comprehensive but laid-back tour of Italy, I would highly recommend this trip.
Eskapas was an excellent option for my family's trip because it relieved a lot of the daily decision-making load and let us experience Italy to the fullest. Our tour guide was quite helpful as well.
We were very pleased with how well the trip was planned and how well it ran every day. It was all done, and the directions were very clear. The food was great, and the flavors were mostly from the area. The tour guides for the optional tours were very knowledgeable about their subjects and did a great job. In general, it was a good experience.
Fantastic journey, guide Marco was extremely friendly and accommodating to all kinds of visitors. The itinerary, which combined guided and free time, was rather well-planned.
The tour of Italian Discovery was great. We had a great time with everything. Matteo, the Tour Director, was the best person you could have hired. It was amazing how much he knew about the history and cultures of the different areas. There were 32 of us on the bus, which wasn't a full crowd, but we still thought it was great. Our group was able to spread out, and everyone showed up on time, which made our guide and driver happy. The variety of food for vegetarian people were amazing.The accommodations were great. Others might not be as luxurious, but they are all in the centrally located. With all the crazy traffic in Italy, especially in Roma, the driver was very skilled and made sure the bus was comfortable. All in all, a great time. I think everyone should try.
We really enjoyed it, and it was our first time touring in a large group via coach. This tour was all go, and while some of the accommodations did not allow us more free time, the majority did. A fascinating cross-section of individuals and ages. Leonardo, our tour guide, was excellent. If only we could have preserved all of his comments. Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip that we intend to do again.
We have been met at the airport with a Mercedes E type wow! Hotel St. Martin was excellent. We enjoyed it a lot it's so close to all main attractions. The hotels were good, the food was good, the things that were scheduled with the tour all worked very well and the guide Sergio was excellent. He was very friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. We had also local guides in each cities. I definitely recommend this tour. I met some wonderful people in this trip and made some precious memories!
My husband and I had a wonderful 10 day tour of Italy covering most sites of south and north of Italy. The food and atmosphere unexpected. Amalfi Cost, Capri, Sorrento, Florence, Venice We really liked it. We highly recommend it
Our Italian Discovery tour was unforgettable! The highlight was definitely Florence, where the art and architecture were stunning. Our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the busy schedule, which left little time for relaxation. Overall, a fantastic way to see Italy’s top sights.
This tour was fantastic! The fact that our tour guide, Matteo, was so educated and enthusiastic about what he did, really improved our experience. If you're considering visiting Italy, this tour is something I would highly recommend! Everything was well-organized, simple, and convenient. An unforgettable trip!
This is the perfect tour to see the highlights of Italy. The tour covers the most famous places in southern and northern Italy. Food was wonderful. Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable. Met a lot of great people. All in all, amazing trip. Thanks Eskapas!

Unexpected food and environment. Amalfi Coast, Capri, Sorrento, Florence, Venice We really liked it. We highly recommend it
Excellent tour, very good logistics, very prepared guides, excellent hotel and very good food. Highly recommended!!
No words can describe this endless revelation of these amazing everyday sights - It was a wonderful trip to the beautiful land of Italy. Good food/wine and all of that adds up to perfect of a trip! Luca, our guide, was very knowledgeable, interesting and funny. The itinerary was varied and well-balanced. We loved the pace of the trip as we walked a lot every day. The food and wine were of course absolutely amazing, and we got to try some things we hadn't had before. We highly recommend this trip.
We just completed one of the best vacations of our lives and Alex at Eskapas was a big part of it. This trip was originally scheduled for 2020 then 2021 and has been postponed twice! . His communication during the pandemic was outstanding and we changed our trip date to May 2022 with no problems. The itinerary included all the must see sites, the hotels were excellent and our guide was outstanding in customer service and local knowledge. The optional shows are a definite bonus, providing an even more engaging atmosphere with companions and providing a hands-on look at local foods and lifestyles from different regions. All we had to do was arrive on time and everything else was taken care of! I highly recommend this trip.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire vacation. Isa, our tour guide, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the group was having a good time. She organized group dinners at excellent local places and provided us with a wealth of local information.
Excellent, despite the large number of tourists, the guide was very ingenious so that we can enter the reserved tours first, without many queues.
The quality of the service is excellent, the hotels, the transportation, the activities and the guides! Everything is great. I missed an excursion due to a misunderstanding of mine and they could still offer it to me another day. Thank you very much!! They do everything to solve the problem you have. Cheers!
Gorgeous scenery, a rich history, and a beautiful country. Delicious cuisine, especially desserts. Very lovely people.
