The itinerary on the trip was good. We saw a lot. It is just a ton of travel and walking that you should be prepared for this is not an easy-going tour. It is quick pace. You see everything in the city and then you move onto the next location, hotels aren’t up to I would say most standards, but they just differ from the United States quite a bit. The coach was always clean and it was up-to-date and New Raphael did a good job of keeping it clean.

As any American tourist, we have a specific image of what Hotel should be like. Well... Italian hotels are not the same unless you want to pay arm & a leg for it. Rooms are very tiny, showers are small, TV's have 10 channels all in Italian, and conditioners are not working to our standards. However, I can live with it for 9 days, if I want to explore Italy. If this is not for you, then choose a different tour company, that cost 3 times as Costsaver tours. I understood one thing: I am taking a lot for granted by living in USA and now I appreciate much more what I have at home. It's soooo much to see in Italy! Loved it!

Loved the people, liked the trip but would caution against too many cities in too short a time. I would choose less cities and more time at each. I would also like to have the option to upgrade hotel rooms if accommodations don't meet standards we are used to. Just a suggestion. Also option of have porter picking up luggage and having it brought to the room should be made available. I'm a senior and would have paid extra for that service as it is hard for me with the heaviness of the luggage and backpacks. That option wasn't presented. I think it should be, at least as an option if people want to pay for it. I would have. It's a suggestion. I would also have paid for an upgrade of some of the rooms due to conditions I was not used to. I would have paid extra for that too.

Hotels were definitely not 4 stars to my standards. The air conditioner would not work and they didn’t offer any fans. Last minute we were put in different hotels that were not in my itinerary!! I wish we were able to choose the foods we could have for dinner or at least give us choices.
