We had the most amazing tour guide! And we got to see so many places in such a short amount of time! Infinitely better than any trip I could have planned on my own, and cheaper! I made memories that will last a lifetime and got to connect with people from all over the world. Truly an experience I will treasure forever.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

I wasn’t expecting so much free time but I was glad for it, if a little unprepared.
Was really sick of the smoky mess as I like to call it but what can you do when travelling in the main attractions of the country. Lots of people, lots of smoke.
That’s why I really enjoyed Cinque Terre. Less crowds and a wide open ocean. The free time add ons I chose were amazing. Tried new delicious foods. And the people were great.

A great grip with amazing food, cultural experiences, sights, activities, and people. Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Milan were amazing. I highly recommend it as a way for people to see Rome and Northern Italy.
