The itinerary was fantastic for my wife and I, (55&61). Pace was nice, extra optional experiences were well worth it. We did them all.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

Cities visited are a fantastic introduction to Italy. Venice was a standout hotel and location. Rome hotel while fantastic was a long way from the centre of Rome. The optional tours varied in quality. The Hidden Gems and fast boat tour through Venice were exceptional. The optional dinner in Rome was ordinary and I would have far preferred to eat at the Michelin Star restaurant if I had realised. Overall I loved the two night stays in each place but more detail around optional and included tour timings would have allowed me to further customise my time in Italy. I highly value food experiences while travelling and may consider looking to a more food based tour next time

We had the best tour guide!! She as funny and informative and everything ran so smoothly. The only suggestion I would have would be to give us two options for dinner.
