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.

4.0 | Very Good
2 nights in most hotels was far better than just 1. The early starts were a bit challenging at times but it meant we saw more & were able to gain access to venues & events before the crowds arrived. The breakfasts were terrific. The accommodation in Rome was not satisfactory. My original room was so small, so after requesting a better room the reception man reluctantly moved me to a slightly better one. Venice was exhausting. It was extremely hot & getting in & out of the smaller boats was difficult. Some guests complained about the amount of walking & trying to keep up with the guides.
