The tour was excellent! Starting with Hometown Pick Up, it was a pleasure to travel with Collette. Our Tour Manager, Flavio, was very knowledgeable, humerus and concerned about every person. The hotel accommodations were very comfortable. Breakfasts had a wide variety of choices. Overall, I enjoyed the tour immensely!
